"The Life Of The Party"

The song featuring on the current setlist, 'Life O' the Party' is also the title of a Jackson 5 recording (as well as that of many other works). Has Prince announced that this is a new song he has composed, or is this a current assumption?

Is anyone able to rule it out as a cover of the song recorded by the Jackson 5 (featured on their album, 'Dancing Machine' from 1974)?

Lyrics:

All you gotta do
Is dance, dance, dance
All you gotta do
Is clap your hands, hands, hands
You'll be the life of the party
Yes you will now
Life of the party
Yes you can

Hey Miss. Corner Sitter never left your seat
'Til some dancing heart getter charm you to your feet, yeah
You got the movement soon you'll be doing it
So get with it, baby get with it

You'll be the life of the party (You thrill me when you dance, whoa)
You can be, you can be
Life of the party
You can be, you can be
(Dance, you can dance) yes you can

You're a sexy mama such a dancin' dream
You're no longer sittin' your train's puffin' steam
The guys are lined up they're hoping to wind up with you now
Can't you see it

You'll be the life of the party (I love the way you dance, whoa yeah)
You can be, you can be
Life of the party
You can be, you can be

There'll be dancin', prancin'
With a little romancin', hah

All you gotta do is
Dance, dance, dance
All you gotta do
Is clap your hands, hands, hands
You can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie
You can move, move, move
You can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie
You can move, move, move
Let's get down, down, down, down, down, down
Let's get down, down, down, down, down, down
(Ad-lib and fade)

Listening to the song, none of the lyrics seem to match those above. It's also got a funky Prince sound to it. I don't know how everybody knows that this 'new' song is titled 'life of the party', becuase the title isn't obvious from listening to it?? Perhaps somebody got the name from an official set-list from one of the concerts?
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.
