"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" was the fourth and final Single from Prince 's 1987 Double Album , '' Sign “☮” The Times ''. The track was originally cut in Prince's home studio in 1982. It was brought out of the vault and updated for the final Revolution album, the '' Dream Factory ''. At this time, the song had a few seconds of the bluesy coda just before the main guitar solo. It was edited out before ''Sign “☮” the Times''. The song is an upbeat Pop number featuring a combination of live drumming with 2 Drum Machine patterns. Also featured are 2 Guitar solos, one wild and energetic and one more Blues y and subdued in the full album cut. The song consists of 2 Verse s and 2 Chorus es, followed by a lengthy instrumental Coda . Although the lyrics are somewhat sad, painting the image of a woman desperately seeking a man to replace the one who left, while Prince refuses, saying that she wouldn't be satisfied with a one-night stand. Despite the tone, the infectious music and accompanying Music Video pushed this song to the top 10 in the U.S. The video was pulled from the ''Sign “☮” the Times'' film, and is a live take of the song and included the Horn Section of Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss . The live version of "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" from the video and ''Sign “☮” the Times'' film includes a horn solo in the song's coda. The solo lifts a part of '' Camille '', and later '' Black Album '' track, "Rock Hard In a Funky Place". B-SIDE The single was backed by the funky "Hot Thing", also from ''Sign “☮” the Times''. The 12-inch Single includes the full album version of "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man", as well as several Remix es of "Hot Thing". One of these was included on the '' Ultimate '' Compilation Album in 2006 . Interestingly, "Hot Thing" received enough airplay by DJ s to chart on its own, reaching #63. COVER VERSIONS
