Article: When Prince Did the Batdance

https://www.theringer.com...y-batdance

.

This is a fun article with some insights into how the soundtrack came to be vs. Danny Elfman's score and a few other insights.

.

"Magnoli: I gave him an electric toothbrush one afternoon and the next morning he came in and wrote a song about the electric toothbrush. Because he was struck by when he put the toothbrush in his mouth, it had a sound. And he tried to mimic the sound. I don’t know where that song ever went—probably into the vault."

Why doesn't Magnoli write a book.

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972)

Great read! For those who didn't click on the article, they are missing out on an oral history of the Batman album.
