AT LAST!! THE BATDANCE VIDEO WARNER BROS DIDN'T WANT YOU TO YOU TO SEE

AP--Los Angeles,CA
After years of legal wrangling, iconic pop star Prince and his former record label, Warner Brothers, have jointly released a highly provocative version of his 1989 hit song "Batdance". Although this video was rumored to exist for many years, very few people in Prince's camp or from Warners would acknowledge its existence. The video can be seen here:

in my 8th grade media class, we wrote, directed and acted in a film of our own, and we used Batdance for the closing credits music.


it looked better than this.




PS: is youtube getting played out? or has it breathed new life into years-old discussion forums that have run out of things to talk about all across the net?

I love the variety of angles that they used. Some great editing and it was nice to see all the celebrities in it.

Pirate girl- Sheena Easton
Hockey mask guy- Eric Clapton
Batman - Val Kilmer (this is wild since it was years before he became Batman in the movies)

ahead of it's time.

I see by your eyes being wide open that you are shocked at how much you agree! It is a masterwork video and no wonder WB was nervous about it. It is amazing!

Is Pink cowboy hat guy a gay stripper? He SO belongs in a P video - was he an extra in Gangsta Glam?

P.S. How did they keep that up for 6 min. with straight faces?

When I was growing up, my best friend's older brother was a Prince FANATIC. He was the first person who alerted me to the existence of boots. When we were in junior high, he and his wife (he was much older than us) made one of these cheesy-ass videos, to "When Doves Cry" I think. I remember thinking he was the coolest dude on the planet. lol
