I haven't seen this pic in years,which is one of my favorite batman videos of all-time!

Can't believe that saturday on the 23rd of june it will b 23yrs to the day Batman was released in theaters.

Back then I didn't have access to boots. Batman was my Black Album for years.

Prince
Batman: Music From The Motion Picture

While painting a picture dark enough for Batman in the late '80s, this is Prince's most cohesive work since 1999. Spooky basslines and keyboards provide the gloom, while the paranoia of nervy shrieks of guitars and brass is kept on a jangling edge with stop/start editing. Then, by refusing to noodle around being creative, it reminds us why Prince is special: instinctive funk and ballads, tweaked above the pack by pitching in snatches of ideas that nag away but never get fully formed enough to become obstructive. The Future, Electric Chair and Batdance, in particular, treat everything as a rhythm device to build up relentless dance grooves, and the love songs are unashamed in their seduction, feeling no need to justify themselves elsewhere. Maybe its throwaway quality will irritate fans of his recent contrived ramblings, but keeping it simple is how Prince functions best.

Electric Chair

I saw your friend first
That's who I danced with
All the time I was watchin' U
The music rocked us
Our eyes locked thus
Makin' us see a trippy picture shoo

CHORUS:
Oh, if a man is considered guilty 4 what goes on in his mind
Then give me the electric chair 4 all my future crimes, oh!

U whispered something
It took my mind out
Like a G (G flat) major with the E in the bass
Your face looked so good
I wanted 2 touch your mouth
My brain is jackin' all over the place

CHORUS

Yeah, yeah {x2}

Let's take a drive, love
So we can make up our minds, love
2 commit the crimes of passion that sets us free
Me lovin' U, U lovin' me

Ow!

The electric chair!

I saw your friend first
That's who I danced with
All the time I was watchin' U (I was watchin' U)
The music rocked us
Our lives shocked us
Makin' us see a trippy picture shoo
I've got 2 have it! (Said I've got 2... yeah!)

If a man is considered guilty 4 what goes on in his mind (Guilty)
Then give me the electric chair 4 all my future crimes, oh!

U know I'm guilty, yeah? (4 all my future crimes, oh!)
I'm guilty, yeah! (4 all my future crimes, oh!)
And if U don't really love me! (Then give me the electric chair)
Ow!

The electric chair
