"Yeah, he said the “f word,” he was reading the lyric, and I said ‘I’m not singing that.’ He said, ‘Why not?’ I said, ‘Because I’m not going to say that word.’ I said funk, f-u-n-k, and he said the other word." -Sheila E.

Initial tracking took place on 5 January 1984 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after The Bird, the same day as The Belle Of St. Mark, three days before a re-recording of 17 Days), and the song was originally intended for Apollonia 6 until Prince began to work with Sheila E. in February 1984, at which time he set the song aside for her. Sheila E.'s vocals were recorded in the first few days of April 1984 at Sunset Sound. -PrinceVault

Oliver's House

I heard this afternoon from the neighborhood [slut, Deborah]
She said Oliver is leaving soon so he can make a scene

CHORUS:
We're gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

Last June, Oliver threw a party 4 his girl, Louise
She got drunk and called me a bitch just cuz I kissed him

CHORUS

Fun, Oliver's house {x2}

Oliver's got a swimming pool, a piano in his bathroom
We took turns throwing down, we took turns throwing up

Gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

Fun, Oliver's house
Make a lot of white noise
Fun, Oliver's house
Play with the white boys

U should see his mother's room, she's got so many fine clothes
Oliver, he dressed me up and then he undressed me slowly
Oliver is so weird but he knows how 2 play guitar
I'm a sucker 4 a major chord, a ride in an open car

We're gonna have fun, Oliver's house
Fun, Oliver's house {x3}
We're gonna have fun
Fun {x27}

It's funny..Bejamin Rietveld had more dialogue in "Krush Groove" than Brown Mark had in "Purple Rain".

His latest lady, Sheila E., has a hit album on her hands with a top ten single “The Glamorous Life.”

Sheila Escovedo is now known as Sheila E., but Prince met her years ago when he was working on his first album. She is the daughter of Peter Escovedo, a Latin-jazz percussionist who had worked with Carlos Santana, one of Prince’s earliest influences. Prince and Sheila have been writing songs together for years. Before she got her big break with Prince, she had toured as a back-up singer and percussionist for Lionel Richie, George Duke, and Marvin Gaye.

When Sheila recently played at the Ritz in New York City, Prince jumped on stage for an encore of “Erotic City,” which also features Sheila E. on the flip side of the single “Let’s Go Crazy.” He then launched into an audience sing-along on “When Doves Cry.”

Sheila won’t talk about her supposed relationship with Prince. She told Kurt Loder, “We’re just friends, but the public will assume what it wants.

“He’s a good person,” she added. “He’s changed somewhat; he’s really happy now.”

violin byNovi Novog

U don't have 2 send me flowers like U used 2 do
U don't have 2 buy me candy, I'll still be your fool
All I ask is 4 a little decency and class
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

U don't have 2 take me dancing, our backyard will do
We don't have 2 eat 2 fancy, hamburgers are cool
I don't care if U stay out until the break of dawn
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

Can't U understand I want a true love man?
Can't U comprehend I want a lover, not a friend?

I don't care 4 sugar-coated flattery, french kiss will suffice
Blame our sex on your run-down battery, holding U is nice
I know when U're lying baby, there's no need 2 scream
There's no need 2 shout
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

If U weren't so tired baby, we'd be on the floor
We'd be makin' love right now, ooh
Next time wipe the lipstick off your collar

"...(Prince) could have given me "The Glamorous Life". Sheila E. would come to the studio to play basketball and I did not know that the child was going in (to the studio) late at night and singing the songs...:"
