Thealternate title for "24" was "Kenya" which was on "Times Squared". It first appeared on the Fantasia boot in 1997 as "24" at the end of the Madhouse 24 (1994) version but stated in the booklet the track was from 89. Now thinking about it, It might be alternate version of "Kenya" because it does have a jungle sound to it and kinda Elephant type noises. If I was a betting man I would say that track is an alternate version of "Kenya" since it was rerecorded for "Time Squared" with just percussion, a horn section and just Eric. Funny he mentioned that track in his EPK video for the album.

I don't think I still have it--I recently trashed a bunch of old archive discs that included duplicate copies or lower quality files or just stuff I'd decided I didn't need--and I think the "Pickle" I had was on one of them.


I call this track a semi-instrumental....Background voices from Prince & lead sometimes vocal by Boy George Prince Voice....this is 100% unreleased Prince track ...This is called TICKLE MY PICKLE.....this track has inspired lot or less ARE U MY BABY (Wendy & Lisa)!


Also Princevault says Kenya is from July 31 1987 while The Vault says Pickle/24 is from 1988 or 1989 (unfortunately I can't find it on Pvault, the untitled instrumentals are extremely poorly referenced on the website ).


So it seems BigChick (who usually know his stuff anyway) is right about Pickle being offered to W&L who developped it into a full song. What I find surprising, given that the song has been in the hands of some collectors for many years, is the fact that this link between both tracks have totally escaped Per Nilsen and the Uptown team, but it's possible that they don't have access to uncirculating outtakes and that they'd never heard the track before.


A few days ago, a new uncirculating outtake by Prince has leaked online, which bears undeniable similarities to your song "Are You My Baby?". The outtake has been identified as being a 1988 outtake titles "Pickle" ( ), is mostly an instrumental with some distorded spoken word by Prince ( la "Bob George"), and is 3:34 long.


The consensus in the community now is that most likely, Prince has offered you the track in 1989 (after Eric Leeds declined to use it on his soon-to-be first solo album) and that you developped it into a full song by adding lyrics and a lead melody to it. There is, however, a reasonable doubt about the fact that you may have sent Prince the basic tracks of "Are You My Baby?" for remixing purpose, at the same time you sent him "Lolly Lolly", and that he may have recorded that version for fun.


Certainly yes! Probably not TONS of tracks but there are possibly a dozen or so additional contributions we're not yet aware of. All I've always said is that without any factual information it is pointless to say "A Magical Place" sounds like Prince so it must be Prince, because there are hundreds of songs that sound like Prince and we need facts before we decide anything


The backing may be from a real (if rubbish) Prince-related track, but there is absolutely no way in Hades that the ridiculous voice chanting 'Tickle... tickle My Pickle' ad infinitum is Prince. Nothing about it sounds like Prince. The cadence, the voice itself, the dull-as-dishwater delivery.


I've had doubts as well but for one thing the track comes from some people who know where they got there stuff from, it's not like it appeared on a Eye Records boot. + I tend to trust my ears and after many listens it is my opinion that both the "tu-tu-tuuuu" high voice and the Bog george kinda voice are genuine Prince vocals. It's hard to say really, it's not as obvious as on some track and it could be an impersonation but I don't think it is one, at all.


When u go past the demo-like rough aspect on the track and pay attention u get to hear many interesting little things on the track. I feel sorry to read how often people listen to a track once and decide it's not worth their attention ever again. If I'd had this approach I'd have totally missed some of my favorite records ever, that left me totally cold on a first listen then grew up on me. It shows, IMHO, the gap between the people here who really are passionate about music and those for whom it's just a minor hobby.


If AYMB is really based on pickle there's no way they could have forgotten it. If not then yeah they may be puzzled lol. Anyway I doubt THEY will read my email first, they must have an assistant to sort out fanmail and it's not necessarly likely this email will find its way to them, nor that they'll reply if it does, but it was worth givin' it a shot


"I've never done anything this big," said Lea Dickman of Tickle Pickle in Northside, who's getting ready for Taste of Cincinnati. "I've got an order in for 3,000 buns from Sixteen Bricks bakery, 2,000 regular buns and 40 cases of cheese."


But Dickman has successfully taken on several big things in her life in the last few years. That includes taking over Tickle Pickle after its owner, her friend Sarah Cole, died after being struck by a car on Hamilton Avenue in September.


Dickman started working for Cole part time when she was a stay-at-home mom and needed a part-time job. Cole had a catering company, Sarelli Catering company. A big job for the catering company allowed Cole to open Tickle Pickle. They made lunch for oil workers who were cleaning an oil spill from a Sunoco gas line in Colerain.


Dickman kept running the catering company after Cole opened Tickle Pickle, a burger restaurant with sandwiches named for rock songs, milkshakes, veggie burgers and a bar. Cole hoped to open a second location and was beginning to plan for it. The crash she died in happened only six months after opening the restaurant.


Dickman is still recruiting friends to work the long weekend of Taste. They'll be serving their Bread Zeppelin burger, and Buns and Roses vegetarian burger, plus baked jalapeno poppers, veggie chili, and whole pickles from The Pickled Pig, a local maker who makes their pickles.


"Slap And Tickle" was the fourth and final single released from Squeeze's second album, Cool for Cats. Co-written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the song took influence lyrically from the crowd that the band had been associating with at the time. Its synth-heavy arrangement was inspired by Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder.


"Slap and Tickle" was co-written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. On "Slap and Tickle", Difford took lyrical inspiration from the "seedy crew" that the band had become friendly with when they became successful.[1] Difford explained, "I loved being with them because they were the kind of people I'd shied away from at school. Now I had the authority of being in a successful band, I was hanging out with them." Difford also cited the lyrical style of Ian Dury and future Squeeze producer Elvis Costello as influences in developing the song's rhythmic metre. "Slap and tickle" is a British euphemism for sexual activity.


Musically, Tilbrook cited Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder as inspirations on "Slap and Tickle", though his inexperience with sequencers made it difficult to replicate the sound. He noted, "I played it all by hand. There's a clip of me on the Old Grey Whistle Test prodding away manfully at the keyboard." Tilbrook played keyboard on the song, which he later noted was him "encroaching on Jools [Holland]'s territory."


"Slap and Tickle" appeared as the opening track on 1979's Cool for Cats. The track was released as the fourth single from the album in the UK. The single peaked at number 24 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]


What's that noise? What's that sound?

Is that supposed to be another Mr. Man hanging round?

There's no denying, you're in a pickle.

There's a camper here who's going to give a little tickle!




He'll get you in the tent, he'll get you in the lake.

No matter where you hide, he won't give you a break.

You may as well give up and get ready to giggle.

Cause there's a camper here who's going to give a little tickle!
