I remember leaving that movie (yeah I admit it I paid to see that trash) and rushing to the Wrecka Stow to buy the Showgirls Soundtrack after hearing the songs in the movie. And was very pissed that the Prince songs weren't on the CD.

Why weren't these songs on the soundtrack? Does anyone know???

It's all tied up with record company wrangling. Prince could
give music to a movie without compromising his rights to the
masters etc. For the tracks to appear on the soundtrack
album he would have had to go through Warners, and they
would then have owned the masters under his contract at the
time. Also, if the soundtrack wasn't produced by a Warner
company, then they would have sought some kind of deal
for allowing the songs to be used (a percentage of sales, or
a one off payment). This all costs the soundtrack makers
money, and sometimes they just can't afford to licence all
the tracks from the movie and still make it financially viable.
