Prince: Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) Rehearsal (2013)

A Paisley Park Rehearsal Gem

Prince’s “Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)” rehearsal recording, was released digitally on November 1, 2013, via 3rdEyeTunes.com. This live-in-studio rehearsal, captured at Paisley Park Studios on October 30, 2013, featured Prince and 3rdEyeGirl reviving the synth-funk classic from his 1982 album 1999. Produced by Prince, the track’s raw energy and modern edge were paired with a static video on the 3rdEyeGirl YouTube channel, featuring artwork by Stella Blu.

The song itself is the seventh track on Prince's album 1999 and was later included as a b-side for the single "Automatic".

“Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)” rehearsal is a fan favorite, capturing Prince and 3rdEyeGirl’s chemistry, while the Stella Blu artwork adds visual charm. As a digital-only release, it has no physical collectibility, but original 2013 downloads are rare. Streams on Spotify via 1999 deluxe editions or fan uploads preserve the live funk. This rehearsal is a must-have for Prince completists.
