"I Wanna Be Your Lover" on Ready Player One soundtrack

According to a Billboard article, "I Wanna Be Your Lover" is on the soundtrack album (digital release only) for the new movie Ready Player One. It's listed as the first song on the soundtrack. I wonder how prominently it figures in the film.

Good, this is what needs to happen. Get those songs in high profile movies, keep the estate running, and introduce his music to future generations.

You mean keep the songs in movies. His songs have been in plenty of movies, of course. He even got a mention on the premiere of Roseanne last night.

SPOILER FOR ANYONE WHO DOESNT WANT ANY DETAILS OF THE MOVIE RUINED.




IWBYL is playing in the background in a scene in Aech’s workshop. Arch is played by Lena Waithe who is a big Prince fan. She even wore a Prince shirt to the premiere of the movie. So I’m pretty sure she is the one who suggested he song. Second, when the main character is looking for something to wear on a date he first tries on the famous Purple Rain outfit. Purple Trench Coat, white ruffle shirt. And even slicks his hair back. Very cool

It's a very short list. It's so rare that such appearances would actually be reported here. (Hence this thread.)

Prince was notorious for being an ass when it came to licensing music for use in TV shows and movies.

ah I see ...
so the fact that another orger stated his opinion (without judging anyone btw) concerning strategical decisions the estate should or shouldn’t make now that prince isn’t here anymore gives u the right to judge and insult prince for decisions he made (for reasons u have no idea of and which aren’t any of ur business)? lol

You have to understand - there are people in this world who are firmly convinced that every decision Prince ever made should have been made with an eye to benefit them or satisfy their wants, rather for any reason Prince himself might have had.

Therefore, any decision Prince made that did not benefit them or satisfy their wants was a bad decision.

Prince's final album sold a few thousand copies and the only reason it got released worldwide is because Jay-Z wanted to please him and keep his music on Tidal.

.

Must be because his decision to keep his music locked up was such a great business move.

Well, when one has been making the same tired arguments for more than 20 years, one probably lost all realization of the banality of those arguments a long time ago.

Actually, he wasn't 'notorious' for it, at all. He had a right to control his music. That's like calling a businesswoman a bitch or a cunt because she wants what she wants in her company. It's an ignorant statement from someone who is not a fan of Prince anyway.

The next time you crawl out from under your rock, do a little homework. There was a long yet partial list posted in the last year on here of songs he had in movies, whether specifically for a film or back catalog songs used by permission.

Thanks. I saw the movie tonight and completely missed when it was played.

Whatever about the businesswoman, what it is is calling an artist an ass for being protective about their own work. Prince had every right to be protective, I may not have always agreed with a lot of his commercial choices but he was consistent in his reasoning over the years - he wanted complete artistic control over his own work. I'm the first* to call out his other inconsistencies and contradictory statements but this wasn't one of them.






*not true, Bart is always the first

For a book that was so deeply rooted in 80s nostalgia, I find it funny how the film soundtrack is based around 70s music instead.

Not that I’m complaining though. lol
What was that?

Aftershock!

Yeah, I imagined Questlove bitching some years ago about Prince being a needlessly difficult MF when it came to a band covering one of his songs on the Tonight Show and them having to record another track as well because shit was so expensive they couldn't even afford to include the cover in the repeats or in the streaming version.

.

If you think that's long, LOL. Also, I doubt many of those bothered to ask permission.

.

If his music was often used in movies etc. there wouldn't be threads about them here, because it wouldn't be noteworthy.

This is very cool news! Thanks for sharing.

However IWBYL was actually released in 1979

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

At least, it's not a song off of Purple Rain. Sometimes people(non fans) act like that is the only album he ever made. I was so glad when Mulder wanted to play Controversy on one of the recent X-files episodes.

I get the feeling that the creator of the Oasis games was a big fan of pop culture in general with a large concentration of it based around the 80s. The Iron Giant makes an appearance and that character is from the late 90s.

Bart, you have to be a pretty frustated guy, you probably do not have any friends either. Since you are constantly criticizing Prince, can you prove to us that you are succesful in the music business? If you can't prove it (which i suspect) then just shut up.

That's a close call...on the pop chart, IWBYL peaked at #11 in early 1980. So it can technically be considered an 80s hit.

He's talking about him being mentioned in a show created by and starring a right wing white supremacist. Did you even read the reply he was talking about?

Prince was notorious for being an ass when it came to licensing music for use in TV shows and movies.

Being an ass, being a pain in the ass, being difficult... all of those have been reported about Prince many many many times. No one said he didn't have a right to be difficult when it comes to HIS music, just that he was (a pain in the ass sometimes).

Number of soundracks with Prince songs is not that long. But that's subjective, maybe to me ten is not many, to someone lese ten is alot.

Why does everyone here attack Bart at every turn? He stated his opinion, which I think was fairly reasonable. If you disagree, then disagree. Calling someone a sad and angry person with no friends, or whatever was said.. you're just making personal attacks. None of the posts actually refuted Barts opinion with any kind of facts or explanations.

I get it, Barts posts sometime read as a bit abrasive, but just being argumentative about anything the guy says with nothing but an emotional insult to back it up... just kind of childish.

I wont be back on this thread, so don't bother directing any posts towards me, I wont see it.
