I was just going through my files, and found a live track from Paris by Prince & The NPG: "House in Order" (Not sure what year/show this is from - Levi and Michael B. are on the track; so I'm assuming about 93). But anyway, I remember having the "Batdance" Cassette single back in the day and "House in Order" was a B-side. From what I recall, it was a variation of "200 Balloons". Anyone know if this live track is the same song? Also was "House in Order" (Batdance B-Side) released on CD single ?

200 Balloons contained the line "get your house in order", but House In Order was a track later released by Mavis Staples on The Voice CD in 1993 (mostly written by Prince) - I've always thought that was her voice saying it on 200 Balloons, so I think the track dates back to Mavis' first Paisley Park album Time Waits For No-One (1989), but I've never heard of Batdance being released with House In Order as a b-side, and I think you're probably mistaken (said with all due respect).

I had the cassette single for "Batdance," and indeed, the only B-side was "200 Balloons."

Are you guys sure? I remember there being two different Cassette singles, one had remixes on it. And I vaguely recall a song with Boni Boyer on lead vocals called "House In Order". Maybe it was the titel to one of the Remixes?

Nope, definitely not.

200 Balloons was the only B-Side to Batdance.

House In Order has only ever been released by Mavis Staples
(though Prince has performed it live on a few occasions)

The only tracks released on the various formats for Batdance were...

Batdance (Edit)
Batdance (Album Version)
Batdance (The Batmix)
