Speaking of K-1’s theme song, this is the track.

During the late 1990s, when K-1 reached the peak of its boom, Fuji TV— which broadcast the events— used this Prince song as its theme.

The guitar riff in the intro is striking, and even now, just hearing it brings back memories of the K-1 fighters’ matches from that era.

Released in 1986, this track brilliantly blurs the line between funk and pop, overturning musical conventions with an innovative approach—one of Prince’s quintessential songs that showcases his genius.

Featured on the album Parade and used as part of the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon, it hit No.

1 on the U.S.

charts in April 1986, becoming Prince’s third American number-one single.

Sparse yet overwhelmingly groovy, it’s a classic I highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel funk coursing through their whole body—even on sweltering summer days.
