    This extended version was already released in ‘85...but in different countries outside USA.USA’s version got Sheila E’s ‘remix’ while everybody else got the entire 9 minute uncut version. The reason for it was that Warner Bros. in The States wanted Prince to delete the additional lyrics about crack/cocaine in which at that time was a serious issue. Instead, he ‘covered’ it with the sound of...umm...let’s just say...’Chaos & Disorder’. ‘Cause that’s how he Felt about the record company when they turned their noses up on the ATWIAD album.

      You know, for Prince, the "song" was usually, originally the "long" version recorded as a jam or improvisation later edited down to the "single" mix. Take the song America from same album Around the World in a Day. The 12 inch single version is 20+ minute jam. The version on the album and 7 inch single is just excerpts pieced together. This extended Pop Life has extra lyrics and piano and other performances that album and single "short" versions leave out. The b-side songs She's Always In My Hair and Hello were also "short" and "extended" versions with extra verses etc. It was Prince's way of working a song. Check out interviews with Susan Rogers at Sunset Sound recording studios for more insight too. Facinating.

      Because it's not an uplifting song. It has an uplifting/catchy beat...but the lyrics of the song are about struggle, depression, and trials of real life. And about people doing anything they can(drugs-selling themselves out), to try to be with the 'in-crowd'.
      So your "sadness flow" is the proper reaction to this great song.

    Man…sitting on the stoop of my apartment in Tulsa when this came out. Sixth grade. Boom box with Around the world in a day cassette playing. Laura Carter sitting next to me. Holding hands and singing this song at the top of our lungs. It’s those moments I remember most. And growing up in this era, Prince was the soundtrack to my life.

      This is one of the songs where they said the chords just came to him on the spot, and he went over to the piano and said "press record"! Lol No practice, no figuring out what he was going to play! They say he couldn't turn off the musical ideas that continuously came to him...asleep, awake...didn't matter...they never stopped coming :-) Just the music, though. The lyrics were always meticulously crafted to be witty, thought-provoking, suggestive or globally relatable.

      The flip side of the US 12 single of Pop Life is the extended version of Hello...which is good and interesting..."Come now isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?"
      Around the World in a Day had some awesome extended versions...the extended version of "America" is 21 minutes 45 seconds long...
