Vicki Waiting Appreciation Thread

Noone ever seems to talk about this song too much but does anyone else think this is a great pop song? The music is just so bouncy and catchy and the lyrics are both deep and funny. It takes a special talent to make a whole verse out of a rude sex joke and the part about Prince having a child is all the more heartbreaking knowing what would happen to him seven years later. The song was too esoteric and personal to be a single but I would have much rather have heard it coming on the radio than Partyman, a song that he can pretty much do in his sleep.

Vicki Waiting---a hidden gem?

I think it's great, as a matter of fact, I love about everything on the BatMan album (especially Lemon Crush).
If I want your opinion, I'll beat it outta ya!

The best song on the Batman CD! "Talk of children still frightens me. Is my character enough 2 be. One that deserves a copy made, this I one day, I hope to see. Until then shes held at bay, by my animal-like persistence. Still I keep Vicki waiting".
Goodnight, sweet Prince.

Who is Noone? I see this in a lot of posts, and I don't know who they're talking about.

Yes, Vicki Waiting is without a doubt, the best track on the Batman soundtrack!

I wasn't trying to correct you... I seriously would like to know who Noone is.

Are you talking about that old singer Peter Noone?

My intention was to indicate that I had not read very many posts about the song but there may be more than I thought. "Noone" was a vastly generalizing word, encompassing far too much supposition on my part. As punishment for my crime of random generalization, I will now listen to "Jughead" on repeat for the next 24 hours strainght.

After all, noone likes that song, right? biggrin

Still confuse

I went to dictionary.com and this is what I found:

No entry found for Noone.

Did you mean No one?


I'm at a loss here. Is that what you meant by "noone?" No one?
