Dance with the Devil and There's Other Here with Us

Do you like these two creepy songs by Prince?

Dance With the Devil was a Batman era outtake

and There's Other Here With Us subjects some dead babies if i'm correct.

Like 'Dance . . .,' like 'Others Here . . .,' more.

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Dance With The Devil would have been great on the soundtrack. Others Here With Us could have been a Mountains b-side.

I like them because they're something different in his career and because of the creepy (as well as mysterious) moods that've been mentioned. A couple of more songs in this veign--and actually released in high quality--would be cool.

I hate DWTD but love Others Here With Us.

I dont see why DWTD gets so much love. It seems so empty and uninspired.

I remember hearing 'There's Others Here With Us' for the first time when I bought the Charade vinyl bootleg. I was amazed that Prince had made such a creepy track but it was good! It was the stand alone track of his career until 'Dance With Devil' came along with its sinister/quasi-satanic lyrics. Definitely wish he did more tracks like these and actually released them in a project. For some casual fans/newbies it would be like discovering a whole new side to Prince's artistry!

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I love Dance With The Devil. I would've loved the Batman album TRUCKLOADS more if he'd have included this one instead of the dreadful Batdance, but, sometimes Prince is that way...

I like There's Others Here With Us. Not as much as Dance With The Devil, but it shows Prince in a...different light. smile

Totally. I'm so glad it never made it to the soundtrack. I've made a few more 'complete' playlists of the Batman soundtrack, with Sex and the extended mixes, but I never include DWTD.

I love Dance With the Devil. Dark, creative, and unpredictable. Its a great 'Joker's theme' isn't it?
Other Here with Us, not so much. It's not the lyrics that scare me (well it did at first) but it just won't grow on me. And.. I never understood why people say Charade would have been a better album than Parade. shrug

Others Here With Us I like the most...very sad and weird. The constant crying woman sound effect and the wolf howl and human scream make it very sinister nod music

Spooky...like the soundtrack to Dark Shadows...with Barnabus Collins in mind.

Or think of the woman crying played backwards in Purple Rain vibe.

I just heard 'Dance With The Devil' again, and actually it's not that bad. It's distant, but I love it. It's not nearly as good as 'Others Here With Us' It's just too long I guess? lol

I LOVE Dance with the Devil, it's so dark and moody and poetic and whatever lol music

OHWU sounds desolate and very unlike anything he recorded before. Not really any instruments in the tune other than some stark tribal drumming. A constant female scream in in the background in different octaves at times with a howling wolf. There is also a lady crying in the background too. Scary.
