"dance with the devil" appreciation thread

i really love this song. i couldn't stop listening to it the first time i heard it. it's so weird(in a good way,though)and i can't understand why p has never released it. it's kinda dark and i can see why he didn't put it on batman even though the hook has that kind of theme song-y quality about it. i like how the song builds real slow and what a payoff. great lyrics,too and that creepy beat is so cool. one of p's best songs imo. better than most of the songs on batman(and a few other ones,for that matter).
For all time I am with you, you are with me.

well you kinda answered your own question, he didn't release it cause it was too dark. I think it's great too but with all the Batman voice over stuff it really only would make sense on Batman

if not on the album than as a b-side at least. just trying to say it's too good to be "un-released" is all. biggrin

I always love Dance With The Devil. Also it was left off of The Batman Soundtrack cuz Prince thought it was too "dark" and settles for Batdance
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I don't think it'll happen because of Batman is a WB thing and all that BS.....
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

kinda..

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

Just reading the lyrics I can kinda hear the beat in my head ! Love the lyrics !
Prince should just drop an Unreleased songs CD ! Would make a lot of Prince fans very happy and he could stop worryin'(well maybe not) about people bitein' his stuff ! evilking guitar
peace PEACE.....It does not mean 2 be in a place where there is no noise,trouble,or hardwork.It means 2 be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart ! heart

"Dance with The Devil" should be on The Dark Knight's soundtrack and in the film.

It's not only because I like Prince's music.


This song fits Heath Ledger's more darker Joker that's coming in this film.

The WB should call Prince, and ask for the song to be re-mastered.

Still, since Jack Nicholson used the phrase "Dance with The Devil" as The Joker. This Batman crew want no parts of the previous franchise. I understand.

love this tune but with new found religious belief, it will never b released because of the word ...devil
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I love it too, I think that the Batman soundtrack would have been better with this terrific track on it ( instead of the silly Trust..).

That'd be great for a laugh....I doubt he will never do anything for/with them again unless legally forced.....
