Call Of The Wild

Call Of The Wild is an absolutely fantastic track.

Probably one of his best guitar heavy songs. Who else would record something so awesome and just leave it to go unheard by the masses.

I think this is one of his very best unreleased songs.

Yeah, but "9 to 5 people" isn't an actual title or song, just FYI. It is "Call of the Wild."

Some interesting notes from PrinceVault:

  • While this track inspired by Led Zeppelin remains unreleased, Prince later began playing Led Zeppelin’s track Whole Lotta Love regularly live, beginning in 2002.
  • Beside instrumentals this is one of the few released Prince songs where the title is not mentioned verbatim in the lyrics, Anotherloverholenyohead, Bob George, The Sacrifice Of Victor, S&M Groove being other examples. Together with Reflection, however, Call Of The Wild is one of the very few where the title isn’t in the lyrics at all. Some songs by Led Zeppelin also fall in this category (Black Dog, Carouselambra, Immigrant Song....). ".
  • This song was previously incorrectly thought to be called 9-5 People, and from 1988, however it is now verified this is its correct title and no song called 9-5 People seems to exist or have existed.

    The lyrics and the melody have been adapted for We Got The Power

He was on some other shit in 1985. This one, Question of U, Empty Room, and not to mention all the wacky funky shit like Hello, Holly Rock, etc.

I think that the Parade era may have many of my favourite Vault tracks.

Call of The The Wild
Come Elektra Tuesday
Heaven
A Couple Of Miles
Splash
Empty Room
Go
Old Friends 4 Sale
Neon Telephone
Europhra Highway

Plus I suspect Fun Love and Evolsidog would also be excellent.

Roll on Parade SDE.

This song was itching me.

So i scratched it.

Then it morphed into "Yes" from the Family album.

It's the same drum track, no?

Welcome to "the org", nayroo2002… life, it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop
