Scheduled For Vanity 6
A number of songs were in fact intended for the Vanity 6 follow up album, but due to Vanity's departure, these songs ended up performed by others.
- "Sex Shooter" was released by Apollonia 6. Vanity 6 did in fact record at least one version of this song which has been leaked on the internet extensively. The arrangement on this version is sparse and somewhat loose in performance which may indicate that this version was merely a rehearsal or demo version.
- "17 Days", the B-side to Prince's "When Doves Cry", ended up being released by Prince, with Bennett's background vocals still on the recording.
- "G-Spot", which ended up on Jill Jones debut album. The Vanity 6/Prince demo has been leaked on the internet as well.
- "The Glamorous Life", which became the debut lead single and signature track for Sheila E.
- "Vibrator", which has been leaked extensively online. This song features Prince in a comedic sketch as well as Jill Jones. The song is about Vanity feeling ignored by her lover only to find solace with her (actual quote from the song) "body massager" which midway through the song loses power prompting Vanity to go purchase batteries at 2 different stores. The song is set in three distinct parts: 1) verse and chorus portions then 2) the comedic sketch and finally 3) Vanity achieving an orgasm with her vibrator.

Famous quotes containing the words scheduled and/or vanity:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“Enjoying praise is in some people merely a civility of the heart—and just the opposite of a vanity of the spirit.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
