Solid Gold (TV Series)
''Solid Gold'' is an American syndicated music television series that debuted on September 13, 1980, and ran until July 23, 1988. The program was a production of Brad Lachman Productions in association with Operation Prime Time and Paramount Domestic Television. Usually airing on Saturday evenings, ''Solid Gold'' was one of several shows that focused on the popular music of any given week; other examples included the long-running ''American Bandstand'' and ''Soul Train''.

Reviews of the show were not always positive, with ''The New York Times'' referring to it as "the pop music show that is its own parody... nactingmini-dramas...of covetousness, lust and aerobic toning—routines that typically have a minimal connectio ...

Single (music)
In music, a single is a type of release, typically a song recording of fewer tracks than an LP record or an album. One can be released for sale to the public in a variety of formats. In most cases, a single is a song that is released separately from an album, although it usually also appears on an album. In other cases a recording released as a single may not appear on an album. Despite being referred to as a single, in the era of music downloads, singles can include up to as many as three tracks. The biggest digital music distributor, the iTunes Store, accepts as many as three tracks that are less than ten minutes each as a single. Any more than three tracks on a musical release or thirty minutes in total running time is an extended play (EP) or, if over six tracks long, an album. Historically, when mainstream music was purchased via vinyl records, singles would be released double-sided, i.e. there was an A-side and a B-side, on which two songs would appear, one on each si ...

In this bouncy disco-pop number, Prince explains that his lover is no one's but his. He sings about what they do together, and the times they share. He claims that he "strangled Valentino", and that she was "his ever since" and that she "belongs to Prince". The song ends with guitar riffs and feedback from Prince, and segues into "Ronnie, Talk to Russia", the next track on ''Controversy''. These guitar sounds were sampled and used in "Orgasm", a song on Prince's 1994 album ''Come''.
