Definitely a cool song!

The lyrics are kinda creepy!

Mine too! Some of Prince's unreleased tracks are the best ones!

Semi-off topic. BUT:

Has an older version of Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic surfaced on any boots? I really dig the released version. The live boot is sick as well.

Why? Why?

Like one of us will know the answer.

Oh yeah, well, the song didnt fit into the album time alloted for vinyl in the day I dont know!

Its cool, mysterious and intriguingly great, fits the mood of the era. I wish a better quality version would be included in a special edition of Batman Remastered. But that will NEVER HAPPEN.

Yeah, an older version leaked, but it's basically an alternate mix and isn't terribly different from the finished version. I remember there being speculation that the released version being so slightly different was enough of a reason for Prince being able to use the track without asking WB's permission since they own that original version, but who knows. I think it would be ridiculous if all it took was editing out a few instrumental bars and then a track could be released, and if that were the case why didn't Prince release more vault stuff? It all goes back to the love/hate thing, as in I love his music but I hate the ridiculous control freak he's become. Oh yeah, I hate the Lotusflow3r 3cd release too, just to add fuel to the fire.

Anyway, there are a lot of alternate mixes from the Batman era. I like that rough/extended version of Electric Chair a lot.
