One thing that always get to me about the song though is the creaky door sound at about 2.50 into the song. What is that??

Out of an earlier post which inspired me to dust off and spin the Batman soundtrack, i gave it the full listen and actually, wait for it ...enjoyed arms of orion, jeezuz...anyone else listned to this cut and enjoyed it before? xx


I have always loved this song..... In fact we named our
black Lab Orion.. She just went to Doggie Heaven a few weeks
ago and we miss her SOOO much.
I was finally able to listen to that song a few days ago for the
first time since she died... and I cried.....
I have always liked the song..... smile
very pretty.. sorta in the same lines as "gave her Angels" wink

By the way.. we got a new puppy last week.. Her name is
DELORES!!!!! biggrin

Very good song, but admit it... Sheena's vocal is WAY better than Prince's vocal.

If her voice is a 10, Prince's voice on this cut is a 5.75.

Maybe that's the way he planned it, but she sounds beautiful, whereas Prince songs below average.

Love the song though... and I agree with some of the earlier posts... Batman is a wonderful album that doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's one of the albums that I can listen to from start to finish, not stop, without skipping a thing, and singing along the whole time.

Hear, hear, SUPRMAN - NAY!!!! It's not clever, it's very unusually klichee w/o tongue in cheek, which doesn't work for me. One of his LEAST clever or inspired songs ever. Sorry.

YAY!!!! To the B-side, though, how can anyone not see the vast difference in inspiration???? Now, that's a cool song!


So sad that you guys can't like anything romantic...

Bet you think love is for whimps too!
[Edited 6/29/09 5:06am]


Seriously, it's not romantic, it's embarrassing. I know romance, and it ain't AOO, it's more like the B-side (if it's good)!!

No, the b-side isn't about romance it's about shagging...

Lol, are people around here thick or what??

And the AOO you think that's NOT romantic??

Hmm... strange world we live in.

I love going out with people that think that the most romantic thing they can do for me is a shag.

Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that!

No candle lit suppers for me, trips to the movies, holding hands... Nooo just some cold hard shagging and I am happy!!

It was alright, not my favorite from either Prince or any other artist for that matter. I liked Scandalous a lot better.

It's official. Arms Of Orion is Prince's best song.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

it's a good ice skating song.

That's so true! I love the song, Prince and Sheena sound great together. What about his duet with Madonna 'This is not a love song'. That was terrible.

This song has grown on me in recent years. It's quite an unusual song because ofthe way it's sung, it's only just sung, almost spoken. cool
