‘How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore’
‘Irresistible B—–’
Released: Nov. 23, 1983; B-side of ‘Let’s Pretend We’re Married’The original version of ‘Irresistible B—–’ was recorded in December 1981 soon after Prince started exclusively using the Linn LM-1 drum machine. The song begins with a 40-second instrumental funk of bass and drums before Prince begins to share all the things he likes about this irresistible girl. He can’t stop thinking about her — even though his friends suggest he let her go — as he explains, “they don’t know the things you do to me when we’re alone.” A great, sparse Prince funk track with a stellar bass line. Not only a Top 10 Prince B-side, but a Prince classic.
