Dance with the devil ? From Wikipedia about the Batman soundtrack: "Dance with the Devil" One of the main songs slated for inclusion on Prince's Batman album was the 7:54 "Dance with the Devil". The song was pulled at the last minute and replaced with an edited version of the chaotic "Batdance", reportedly because Prince deemed "Dance with the Devil" to be too dark. "Dance with the Devil" samples Jack Nicholson's dialogue as The Joker, as well as the sound of falling rain. "Dance with the Devil" is officially unreleased; however, it is circulating amongst tape traders. What does it sound like? | |

Slow, dark, ominous mixed with bits of the joker's dialogue from the film if you've gotta pay for things that you've done wrong I've gotta big bill coming at the end of the day- Gil Scott Heron

It comes across to me as sounding eerie. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture! REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince "I kind of wish there was a reason for Prince to make the site crash more" ~~ Ben |

It would've definitely been the darkest track on the CD if it made the cut. The line that always gets me is... "demon clever, promise 4ever, the curious try and always die.." I was like 'whoa' when I heard that. When go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

like if the ending of Positivity continued for 5 more minutes.
Everyone seems to love it but to me it seems uninspired. Same with Big Tall Wall. "Climb in my fur." | |

It almost sounds like a John Carpenter soundtrack....like Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, The Thing.
Especially it's opening!!!
Well obviously in mine opinion, that is. [Edited 11/26/11 22:03pm] The right to free discussion is protected!! | |

It really is a scary, eery sounding track. It sounds like it should be included in some horror flick. I love the song, but don't listen to it often cuz I'm scary | |

Dance With The Devil and There's Others Here With Us are probably the two scariest tracks Prince has ever done. When go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

And two of the best tracks he has ever done. | |

You really think that? They are two very interesting tracks, but the best he has ever done? Oh well, each to their own.

First time I heard it I didn't really care for it. Gave it a few more spins and it really grew on me. I guess I didn't really appreciate the layering at first, and the length of the song kinda turned me away from wanting to listen to it entirely. | |

Okay, that was perhaps a little strongly put. But I do like them both very much, and a huge part of the reason is their gloomy atmosphere. I wish he would go there more often. | |

Indeed, I agree.
