Hey guys I Know the Batman soundtrack had some unreleased tracks and seeing how that is my FAVORITE Prince album..I was wondering if someone could post all the songs that were made in that "era." (Including out-takes.) So far here is my list:

The Future
Electric Chair
The Arms Of Orion
Partyman
Vicki Waiting
Trust
Lemon Crush
Scandalous
Batdance
200 Balloons

PANDURITO said:

Please, describe. I've heard a lot of the outtakes at the time, but there are always problems with multiple titles.

"Dance with the Devil" is a kinda dark approach from P, with him stating

Living fear
The Devil is near
Can you feel his breath?
Grieve for death
The curious child always dies

Along those lines.

Rev said:

Dark, atmospheric, catchy chorus, 7'52" long.
What else can I say?

"me touch myself"

wallysafford said:

It's from that period, but not from the Batman project, according to all sources.

That's why I didn't add it, there was a lot of stuff I could've added from that era, like Love Song, but they didn't pertain specifically to that project.

Lyrics here:

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...html#dance

Dance With The Devil

Cunning liar, eternal fire
Demon clever, promise 4ever
The curious try and always die

Live in fear, the devil is near
Can U feel his breath? Pray 4 death
The curious try and always die

"U men point those search lights up on the tower right now - move, move!"

Have no Savior, have no faith
Never look 4 Heaven's gate
Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died

Devil's children, no love inside
There is a soul, but it has died
And it cries, and it cries…

CHORUS:
Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Give up 2 the feeling and don't try 2 fight
He wants your soul and he wants it 2night
Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight
Close your eyes 2 love and die

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight {sampled till end}

"U know, without U I just wouldn't wanna go on"

CHORUS {x2}

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight

"It's as though we were made 4 each other
Beauty and the Beast
Of course if anyone else calls U Beast
I'll rip their lungs out"

Dance with the devil in the pale moonlight
Put your arms around him and hold him tight


.

PANDURITO said:

I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear what you said?
Could you please repeat that?

Dang, P's lyrics are confusing. I thought he was saying "The curious child" the whole time...

MetroArea said:

your sources are unfortunately wrong about this one.
"me touch myself" was recorded on the same day as "lemon crush",neither track
made the movie though and "me touch myself" was discarded,Prince chose to use "lemon crush" on the soundtrack instead.
as far as "love song" goes,that was recorded in May 1988,way before the batman sessions got underway.

wallysafford said:

D'oh! You're right about Love Song (I definately had my wires crossed there, wrong year even! - My memory is dreadful!) - and I never saw Me Touch Myself on any Batman configuration, but if you say it's right, it's good enough for me.

//

RE: Me Touch Myself and Dance With The Devil, I was never really impressed by either track, I know they're often highly regarded, and I can see they are both individual and interesting tracks, but I can see why they never surfaced, although Lemon Crush over MTM? Blurgh, I never did like Lemon Crush.

I said Dark, atmospheric, catchy chorus, 7'52" long.

You heard it this time?

OK. Who's the bad person that manipulates my posts?

I have often wondered if the out-takes from the Batman period were turned down by Tim Burton.

If he had had a use for them and played them in the movie,would theu have made the album?

muirdo said:

Ask Tim 213-570-1445

Don't tell him I gave you the number

im going to phone that

what the dialing code for the states?

muirdo said:

00 + 1* + 213 + 570-1445

You're welcome!

he cant be home

it just rung out.

I think Dance With The Devil is one of the best. I think it's genious, it and Thieves In The Temple are my favourite non-cd tracks. It's very dark, but perfect.

The Batdance mixes are cool, Go to Yahoo Lauch to see the videos!

Sirah said:

Huh?

Hmm, huh for what? Non-cd? I meant that I don't know where Thives in The Temple is originally on, whether it's a single B-side or what. I first had it only as an mp3, now in Hits.

If you know, please share. I bow to your knowledge.
