Barry Gordon made a big splash (after this) on Broadway and film in A THOUSAND CLOWNS, and I believe he was later the president of the Screen Actors Guild. (And a regular on Abe Vigoda's sitcom FISH.)

It's good to hear that Hilly kept his original vision alive (County Blue Grass) rather than pander with a punk song - hee hee.

@pantz: This is the B of "I Would Die 4 U." Ironic, a bit, since the girlfriend is the one who actually dies in this song.

I love that this song is pretty much standard ridiculous Prince, then suddenly gets REALLY sad, then swings back with the banana daquiris. It's perfect.

Do you think he was like "Strawberry dai- no. Pineapple dai- no. Damn it. Berry dai- no! Maybe I should just go back to banana daiquiris. OK let's do it." ? 'Cause I do.
