Anyone else think this song is far superior to the rest of the album? This and maybe The Future.

Marvelous!

Yeah, I think it's by far the best song on the album. My appreciation of it has only grown along the years. The way he uses his voice against those strings is just phenomenal.

The Future, Partyman, The electric chair, Scandalous are all good songs off that album. Scandalous To me doesn't stand out on the album.However THE CRIME defintely stands out and so does sex off the suite

Scandalous

I looove the whole album.

Only "Trust" and "The Arms Of Orion" are a bit weak...



still Batman is MUCH better than the albums these "days"..

Oh - that also goes for the Scandalous Sex Suite which is even better.

I love the song but can't say that it is superior to the rest of the album...the whole album is great imho

Scandalous
Come closer
Feel what U been dyin' 4
Don't be afraid, baby
Touch it and explode
Understand, understand that I love U
Ah, but more than that - I want U
Everybody always told me good things come 2 those who wait
But I've got so much on the menu
I just can't, I just can't, I can't wait, baby
I can't wait, baby
Till I can wrap my legs all around U girl
Cuz sugar, U know U're just the kind of lover
That I've been lookin' 4
2night why don't we skip all the foreplay, mama
And just get down here on the floor

CHORUS:
Scandalous - I'm talkin' 'bout U and me
Marvelous - baby, baby, can't U see?
Anything U ever dreamed of, I'm willing 2 be
2night is gonna be scandalous
Cuz 2night I'm gonna be your fantasy

(Dear, my, my)
My dearest, my dearest

(Whisper) Whisper a question
With my body (body), I'll scream a reply
Anything's acceptable
Just ask me and I'll try it
2 hell with hesitations
2 hell with the reasons why

CHORUS

Baby, baby, baby

Oh girl, the things U make me do
Genius is the only way 2 describe U

Anything U ever dreamed of, baby
Just ask me - I'll do, I'll do, I'll do it 4 U, baby
Anything at all
Spirits rise and spirits fall
Anything U ever dreamed of, I'm willing 2 be
2night is gonna be scandalous
Cuz 2night I'm, 2night I'm gonna be your fantasy!

CHORUS

Scandalous
Marvelous

It's also a lot of fun to play on the keyboards - those chords are nuuuutritious, and deeeelicious!

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I used to play this on the piano that was in the gym hall of our high school after the day was over. I also regularly sang in falsetto over it. I'm sure there were often people still in the building that heard me do that.

Love it. The only song from Batman that I listen to frequently.

Scandalous is a great track, but I'm not sure about the sniffling in it. Is Prince blubbing, shivering or just have a head cold? I've not heard him do that before..it's disturbing, I want him healthy!!
