I love that princess fan base encompasses so many different types of ppl, goths, ppl who like hip hop, metal heads, ppl who fuck with R&B. He was awesome.
This song is one of the most creative and inventive songs that I've ever heard. It encompasses all that is Batman and the Gothically dark 1989 film. This should have made it on the album without question. It's so spooky and experimental. Kinda like "Positivity" from 1988's "Lovesexy" which had the "Spooky Electric Sound;" but only much, much, much darker. It's such a fun song, and would have fit like a glove as the conclusion of the album. Prince really delivers on this one. People always think of "Purple Rain" when they think of Prince, but any true Prince friend (fan) knows that he was SOOOO much deeper than "Purple Rain." It's a superb album, but not even close to his best material. How many artists can say that some of their best material were things that never saw the light of day? None but Prince! But I guess this track may have been a little too dark for his taste coming off of the spiritually upbeat "Lovesexy" and the dark "Black Album" that he recalled for being "evil."
You can buy the CD on eBay. "The Black Album" was initially pulled before it was released in 1987 because Prince felt that it was "evil" and he replaced it with "Lovesexy." But right after the recall, whole sellers sold some copies on the black market before sending them back to be destroyed and those original copies were copied over and over again for the next seven years before Warner Bros. officially re-released the album in 1994 as a limited edition CD which is still available on eBay. The album became the most bootlegged/sought after album of all time. The original 1987 vinyl copies are the rarest of Prince collectors items and nearly impossible to find. Beware of many counterfeit ones. If you would like to learn more about "The Black Album" you can visit the-black-album.info/index.html .
Warner Brothers owns the rights to the BM soundtrack, not the estate, so there won’t be a deluxe version. The Estate said from the very beginning the soundtrack albums are out of their hands.
I can imagine Prince up in the studio, late at night, alone mixing and producing this song. Working on it obsessively to his perfectionist nature, creating a masterpiece only to not have released or even to bless to our ears until his tragic death decades later I have only listened to this once when he passed and I luckily found it uploaded on here and hadn't came back to it until tonight, so happy it's still here. I didn't know what it was but it was love at first listen. My heart can't take too many listens to this song though. Almost makes me sick to my stomach. The part 2:32 to 3:20 very haunting but beautiful, kind of like a heartache set to music. It just puts me in my feelings. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall at this recording session. I prefer this over Purple Rain anyday. Truly one of my favorites. I miss Prince so much and it hurts the heart when I listen to this song especially. Sounds so lonely :(
It's fun to interpret how it goes besides with the Joker. No context, it sounds like the villain wins and a hero fell before his power. Will anyone stop him? Who knows. His theme song's power transcends beyond everything else until the hero revives or a new one emerges.
@@dumbstupid5065 Agreed. Listening to it again, I think it would've also fit perfectly as a companion piece to "Anna Stesia" as they're polar opposites in theme.
There's always a message from Prince. Even though it is for the soundtrack it has his signature. This man was a musical gift that will contine giving. Bet there are classes studying his movies and musical compositions.writing lyrics.philanthropy.design.videos. buisness acumen. developement. Even his immense collections of awards.Art. I'd take it. Prince is a fascinating enigma from birth to death. Too bad he didn't complete his autobiography. I was hoping he had taped his amazing career experiences. Too sad no first person account of his own. It will always be second person cluttered with opinion and supposition. What an interesting person for our American history. We lucked up. Many grew up with him. His music helping to catalog our lives. Prince Rodgers Nelson. Thank you.
@Blain Train~Right on..He was beyond Special..so many people were literally "Gutted" by his departure from this earthly realm.... Lets hope we get to at least read those 50 Pages.....
He had completed a 50 page manuscript that is being worked on now. I don’t know how far he got in it of course, but very curious to see what comes of it. Another album in September as well.
penny andrews thank you Prince. Like u said, you will die but you will never go away!! So true you made a lifetime of music...you right here bro PRINCE 4EverLove😘
If it ever does, it would kick so much ass in the pristine quality it would be in. The baseline during the rap/chorus would make my ears explode in the best way. Especially at the final choruses where the flutes pop in.
Such an ominous track, with the buildup and climax intertwining so well. It's like wandering a dark alleyway during a riot and all the trashcans are burning. No hideouts, no running away, just slow, all consuming darkness. I wonder if he did tracks similar to this. It feels one of a kind and that's sad.
That is an amazing song; not what I was expecting at all. The whole album to me really stands out from the rest of his catalog. As unique as Prince is, some of those songs are extra in their uniqueness. Lemon Crush comes to mind. Gone not forgotten... God Bless him.
Lemon Crush, Vicki Waiting (aka Anna Waiting) & Pink Cashmere were all written for an 18 year old girlfriend he had at the time named Anna Garcia / Anna Fantastic. He grabbed a lot of stuff out of the vault & reworked it for this soundtrack. Not sure how many tracks were recorded brand new & exclusively just for this. It was great though, his last #1 album.
haunted by this beauty i am !! MMMM master yoda !! i must go through my PRINCE archives now [well i need to always learn more !!] but i miss his presence as well ENJOY!!
chgohaushead I hear ya! For some reason his death hit me around the year anniversary of his death. I watched the documentary, here at this site, "Prince: The Man, The Myth, the Music"! I identified on the child abuse issue issue +, that was 3 months ago, and every day I'm still researching articles + watching documentaries on him! At times- certain songs or videos I too cry! I think people who identified with him , common childhood issues, we saw him as our champion. When he died we all felt the pain from the ultimate injustice!!!
I sometimes like to imagine what it would have been like if Prince had played Batman in the movie (and Bruce Wayne) instead of Michael Keaton. i have a feeling it would have been spectacular because Prince really understood the soul and heart of Batman
I really hope this leaks in a better quality some day, if we don't get an official release. It's been the same quality leak since I heard it first in 99.
At some point it almost has to end up on one of these deluxe editons that are full of vault recordings. Unless WB still keeps the rights to anything from those recording sessions like they do the album itself.
I see you, Prince. I love your depth. I will forever love you. It is my honor to have shared your musical journey. How I wish you head faked your death, I feel your physical self is gone. Spiritual self still very much present. Graititude for the music that will last through the rest of my life. Timeless beauty.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 Everythings is in the 1st 3mn, maybe it needs a little violin arpege in the beginning, and a short solo guitar like the part 5.03, for the end ;)
Screw these live-action Disney remakes. What we should have is an ANIMATED remake of the 1989 film, with all the parts of Sam Hamm's screenplay they were forced to cut included. And an edited version of this song playing during a crucial scene.
SeasideDetective2 Absolutely, Mark Hamill recently shared a storyboard version of a deleted scene from the film with him and Kevin Conroy. If they did what you said with the two of them in it, that would be amazing
I have always loved this film; I was born in 1988, I saw this for the first time in 1990, and it quickly became my favorite movie, still is. I have read the three drafts of the script, and I concur that they should restore the lost scenes, there was more Vicki, Alicia, Knox, and Alfred. It was awesome. The film added the cathedral dance, which is not in the script. I wish it was, the entire climax is amazing. I would love to see a remake of this film, animated. I agree 100 percent
It was supposed to be but Prince took it off at the last minute. Hopefully WB will release a super deluxe edition of the BATMAN album with outtakes like this & all those amazing B-sides & remixes from this set. BATMAN is an underrated Prince album.
The way I heard it is the song and elements were to be used for the joker dropping money and poisoning Gotham/cathedral portion of the movie Tim burton felt the song didn’t fit and was to dark and it was replaced with the song trust and film score ....song wasn’t used so it was left of the soundtrack album......200 balloons was also a Batman song portions were used in batdance
I know the depth of prince Pain. I Lived it at the same time But it works out so great in the end I can truly say it Was worth it in the end Love you prince 🤗💯💜🧚🏾♀️🎸🙏🏼
only trust, party man and a bit of electric chair were in the movie and scandalous was in the credits lol EDIT yes and Future is in it and TECHNICALLY Scandalous is played over the credits. Maybe I'm biased but I love this soundtrack.
batdance replaced 200 balloons and he made it a day. The story goes he gave burton 100 songs to choose from... rave into the joy fantastic was dropped as well.
I think that must have been the original recording speed. I actually prefer it when played faster, there is something not quite right with the slowed down version. Great tip!
This world should see how much it's hate has increased When the truth of love is treated as a beast When nobody cares in the least That's the days when hearts have ceased
abrock31 Rainbow Children is a great album although a lot of people probably dislike it because if it’s heavy religious theme. Musically, I think it was one of his greatest late career efforts.
Interesting thing is it sounds like he’s using a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks drum machine instead of the Linn. I use to make beats on one of those when I was a kid so I’m very familiar with its sound. I used to try to mimic the Linn 😂
My brother, too! (May he Rest In Peace.....We buried his favorite drumsticks with him.) God bless and keep you, and all those gifted by God with the talent of the Universal Language.....MUSIC, in Jesus’s Precious Name, Amen. 💕🕊🙏Fly High, Purple Dove, You are sorely missed💕🕊🙏💜✝️✡️🌹🌹
chris orr if they own this album it will probably be on the deluxe edition. Warner owned this originally but that could have changed over the years. They seem to be releasing his biggest selling albums.
@@mrdiamonde We're way past Batman's 30th anniversary. If there was ever gonna be a deluxe edition, it would've been released then. Hell, we're even past the Joaquin Joker movie and this song didn't release. Even way, way past it's intended success rate of like 100 million dollars. If they ever do release it, it's when the kids in high school now become 40.
jayjay86443 Prince estate has been rereleasing a deluxe set of his album about once a year or so. Purple Rain 3 cd and 1 dvd set released a bit more than 2 yrs ago And 1999 5 cd and 1 dvd released a few months ago. They included a bunch of unreleased songs that probably did not make the cut. If the estate can work out rights to that album. I think they would do a batman deluxe that was one of his biggest albums.
This is the most beautiful darkest goth song that ive ever heard in my life. 💜💖🖤 Hidden treasure/diamond in the ruff that never made it to the 1st 1989 batman movie for the ending. I think that if this song would've been added to its soundtrack, then more people would've bought it.
thank you for this. I feel similar. But they didn't because it was 'too dark' , it's crazy how the majority of people can't see how dark goth he actually was.
I am a huge Prince fan, to me he is a true genius, and to me the Batman album isn´t one of his great works. But again - this song....what a gem, amazing artistry.
There's some good stuff on there, but there's also some cheesy stuff on there. Also, that album hasn't aged as well as a lot of his other albums for sure.
Batman soundtrack got me into Prince, and I still love it today. Even without his falsette voice, the sound is very unique. Partyman is great, but i never liked the live performance of it.
"LOVE that Prince..."😉 Goodness, how dark... Such a lost treasure !! A deluxe edt of BATMAN OST should be released (WB totally missed out on that at the movies' 30th already, though...). But it should expand on the original, have the hard-to-get singles added ( "200 Balloons"/ "Is your house in order ?" , etc. Alright, EVEN the "Scandalous Sex Suite" for completion's sake ;-) "...guest vocals : SHE knows", tsk... ) , the remixes of "Partyman" & such and THIS one as a bonus track ! But IS THERE "justice" ? Half of me doubts it, of course... (Other half keeps hoping !)
Shocked with all the Prince cash grabs this never happened. It's a very sample based early digital album and the sound dated a lot. I wore out the cassette as a kid, and jammed it today for the first time since the early 90s, and it's not got the same impact it had for me at one time. I did find it interesting to hear all the samples that never made it to the final cut, or were lines that were before the post sync-dubs. Guessing they loaded him up a bunch of floppies full of emulator samples of parts?
@@harveydent302 gee whiz I haven’t seen you since Batman I’ve read up so much about your history and how you came to be you’re like the well known character that I’ve known from the comics tv shows and films and video games ever since
If they make a Batman super deluxe cd set they would make it a 10cd set and sell for like $200 and 6-12 months later it's not available and only re-sellers sell it on amazon or ebay for like $400-$1000... it's happening right now with the 1999 super deluxe 5cd+1dvd.
By removing this song, he compromised the artistic integrity of the album. But, commercially, the album did need a Batdance, so I get. But, still, what could have been…
I completely agree. I get the feeling that maybe Prince didn’t want the film and album to end with kids singing “dance with the devil” over and over. That’s my opinion, though
damn! I had the soundtrack in cassette.....they should´ve put this one as hidden track and miss one of the crappy themes of A side....it would be rocked!

This is bad ass. Yet another unreleased discovery of the purple one I stumble upon. Love the beat. Gotta love Prince. Wish he was still alive.
Prince wrote a song about the jokers dark character it’s not anything more or less it’s an amazing piece of work btw
It's fun to interpret how it goes besides with the Joker.
No context, it sounds like the villain wins and a hero fell before his power.
Will anyone stop him? Who knows.
His theme song's power transcends beyond everything else until the hero revives or a new one emerges.
Exactly
Sure did
Such a great song. A shame it wasn't released on the Batman album. It is dark, but it fit the Joker perfectly.
Definitely one of the darker tracks he ever recorded.
, there's others here with us is just a bunch of leered voices
@@dumbstupid5065 Agreed. Listening to it again, I think it would've also fit perfectly as a companion piece to "Anna Stesia" as they're polar opposites in theme.

Thanks for uploading this, never heard it before! I've always loved his Batman album, great to hear this addition.
It's because Prince literally thought it was too dark for the '89 Batman film, that's why most of this was changed into the "Bat Dance" song.

I love this song
"Sorry Luv, that won't do."
'What do you mean ?'
""We are going in a more toyetic direction and that's a little too dark for our target audience...."
I really like it, especially the beat.
Since Halloween is in less than four days, I just had to listen to "Dance With the Devil" again. 🤓
It's perfect since the Joker movie never rereleased this fantastic track, and you know people are gonna buy Tix in that red dress he wore.
The most beautiful song I ever heard 👿
I love this song it's soon spooky yet I'm so drawn to it. Magnificent
So much melancholy, it hurts.
i love 0:51, the sound in the background when batman accidentally knocked over all the pews in the church.
That song is so Dark for Halloween
Can't believe this was dropped for Batdance.
Batdance still kicks ass this song good but it's a little dark for people to watch their favorite superhero in that capacity.
J A come on !

Good ear. His jazz side is really criminally overlooked. Check out NEWS, Rainbow Children, and the madhouses

You need to be able to understand this song for what it is. Prince knew exactly what he was doing.

Interesting thing is it sounds like he’s using a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks drum machine instead of the Linn. I use to make beats on one of those when I was a kid so I’m very familiar with its sound. I used to try to mimic the Linn 😂
My brother, too! (May he Rest In Peace.....We buried his favorite drumsticks with him.) God bless and keep you, and all those gifted by God with the talent of the Universal Language.....MUSIC, in Jesus’s Precious Name, Amen. 💕🕊🙏Fly High, Purple Dove, You are sorely missed💕🕊🙏💜✝️✡️🌹🌹
it's one thing to have the latest toys
I love this and I love pince his songs were just awesome we always love you 💜💜💜💜
I Seen the Future and it will be....
Ooo... I like dark 80's.
I Pray a Box set of enormous measures come out with such Treasures like this on it... I would pay $ for it serious coin👍🏽
It's coming.
This song is fantastic. #TSTYLERap
This song should be on the soundtrack. This should been a video too.
chris orr if they own this album it will probably be on the deluxe edition. Warner owned this originally but that could have changed over the years. They seem to be releasing his biggest selling albums.
@@mrdiamonde
We're way past Batman's 30th anniversary. If there was ever gonna be a deluxe edition, it would've been released then.
Hell, we're even past the Joaquin Joker movie and this song didn't release. Even way, way past it's intended success rate of like 100 million dollars.
If they ever do release it, it's when the kids in high school now become 40.
jayjay86443 Prince estate has been rereleasing a deluxe set of his album about once a year or so. Purple Rain 3 cd and 1 dvd set released a bit more than 2 yrs ago And 1999 5 cd and 1 dvd released a few months ago. They included a bunch of unreleased songs that probably did not make the cut.
If the estate can work out rights to that album. I think they would do a batman deluxe that was one of his biggest albums.
This track was included as the ninth and final track on a March 1989 configuration of the Batman album, but of course didn't make the final cut
Listening to it at 1.25 speed; insanely good.
Woah !! Insane difference
@Eoghan how about to each their own
@Tony then I miss read lol is all
Wow! Insanely good is right. Kinda mind-blowing actually.
The Greatest To Ever Do It! Rest In Power Messenger!!!
Yes!!!!🙌 hes my messiah
so true prince will always be the greatest musician and entertainer
love this drak track *****
Love the artwork on top of page would love it as a picture on my wall .Also love the track
Love it. would have also been cool for The Crow soundtrack.
Indeed !
the hairs stood up on back of my neck at - soul, it has died.
This is the most beautiful darkest goth song that ive ever heard in my life. 💜💖🖤 Hidden treasure/diamond in the ruff that never made it to the 1st 1989 batman movie for the ending. I think that if this song would've been added to its soundtrack, then more people would've bought it.
thank you for this. I feel similar. But they didn't because it was 'too dark' , it's crazy how the majority of people can't see how dark goth he actually was.
A Halloween song in a nutshell.
There is a lovely touch of Zappa in it!! Great music goes down to ur soul
Zappa and Prince certainly have something musically in common
I am a huge Prince fan, to me he is a true genius, and to me the Batman album isn´t one of his great works. But again - this song....what a gem, amazing artistry.
There's some good stuff on there, but there's also some cheesy stuff on there. Also, that album hasn't aged as well as a lot of his other albums for sure.
Electric Chair, Vicky Waiting, The Future, Scandalous....?No friend...this is a great album.
*****
mmm, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think any of them have aged particularly well. Hits and misses on all three.
The Batman album isn't one of my favorites, either. But I love Electric Chair.
Batman soundtrack got me into Prince, and I still love it today. Even without his falsette voice, the sound is very unique.
Partyman is great, but i never liked the live performance of it.
"LOVE that Prince..."😉
Goodness, how dark... Such a lost treasure !! A deluxe edt of BATMAN OST should be released (WB totally missed out on that at the movies' 30th already, though...). But it should expand on the original, have the hard-to-get singles added
( "200 Balloons"/ "Is your house in order ?" , etc. Alright, EVEN the "Scandalous Sex Suite" for completion's sake ;-) "...guest vocals : SHE knows", tsk... ) ,
the remixes of "Partyman" & such and THIS one as a bonus track !
But IS THERE "justice" ? Half of me doubts it, of course... (Other half keeps hoping !)
Shocked with all the Prince cash grabs this never happened. It's a very sample based early digital album and the sound dated a lot. I wore out the cassette as a kid, and jammed it today for the first time since the early 90s, and it's not got the same impact it had for me at one time.
I did find it interesting to hear all the samples that never made it to the final cut, or were lines that were before the post sync-dubs. Guessing they loaded him up a bunch of floppies full of emulator samples of parts?
Harvey Dent? Two-Face? Is that you
@@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095
chances are 50/50
@@harveydent302 gee whiz I haven’t seen you since Batman I’ve read up so much about your history and how you came to be you’re like the well known character that I’ve known from the comics tv shows and films and video games ever since
If they make a Batman super deluxe cd set they would make it a 10cd set and sell for like $200 and 6-12 months later it's not available and only re-sellers sell it on amazon or ebay for like $400-$1000... it's happening right now with the 1999 super deluxe 5cd+1dvd.
By removing this song, he compromised the artistic integrity of the album. But, commercially, the album did need a Batdance, so I get. But, still, what could have been…
could have put both on the album, dance with the devil followed by batdance. if there wasn't room, just take off lemon crush or arms of orion.
I completely agree. I get the feeling that maybe Prince didn’t want the film and album to end with kids singing “dance with the devil” over and over. That’s my opinion, though
What are you 2018
KEEP BUSTIN
Amazing
I am MAD IT WAS CUT
Apparently Tim Burton didn't like it.
This is superior to some of the material on the Batman album, LOVE THIS TRACK
first time I'm hearing this.
That picture of prince looked like Harvey Two-Face.
Gemini man
0:03-0:09 Me: Hello? I hope not but, is somebody there?
damn! I had the soundtrack in cassette.....they should´ve put this one as hidden track and miss one of the crappy themes of A side....it would be rocked!
I love this song it is so unique.
Because Prince...
POSITIVELY beautiful ❤️ arrangement. 🎵 MUSICOLOGY INFLUENCER. Appreciative
tne best artiste
This song would have fit perfectly in the latest Joker movie!
Great
Happy birthday and RIP, Prince.
my Prince lives ❤
First time hearing this song. You guys right it is weird. Still good though.
