The song wasn't ORIGINALLY written for Batman. Re-writing the lyrics to fit the themes/characters/setting of the film is part of the writing process. The song was clearly modified and (re)written for Batman. I am not sure what the argument here is. That songs with different lyrics aren't different songs?

Some good songs, but I really disliked that production. Sounded very ´dry´. But it was still Prince being original |

It's the 4th time I ask you to illustrate your BS by quoting the original words to Anna Waiting. Please, tell us. |

Why are you pretending like the words on the screen mean something different for you than me? You can read the entry. If you interpret that as meaning he rerecorded and rewrote the song... Sure. Alright then. You'll want to save this post and come back to it after the song leaks. | |

I totally get what you are saying. Yet, surely you see that switching of a few words completely changes the theme and subject matter of the song. Thus...rewriting. I mean, switching a few words for other, different, new words is literally the definition of re-writing. - Also, there is a bit of math to be done here. How many times is the word Vicki in the song now, instead of Anna? Music is largely about repetition and patterns. So, not only is the very title of the song changed (which changes the theme), the sheer amount of times Vicki is stated powerfully injects visions on Kim Basinger into my head through my earholes. Thus, by only switching a few words the song is, in fact, rewritten.
