Prince Song of The Day- Vicki Waiting

Now I know how some Prince fans may feel about the batman album, but how can you deny the charm in this song?

Favorite line:

"I told the joke about the woman
Who asked her lover "Why is your organ so small?"
He replied "I didn't know I was playin' in a cathedral."
Vicki didn't laugh at all".


lol Gets me every time

talk of children still frightens me
is my character enough to be
one that deserves a copy made?
this on one day, I hope to see


best lyrics on the album and certainly the
best line in an otherwise dull tune.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

As always excellent choice DigitalLisa. Great great, excellent song!

There are lots of good songs on the album imho: the future, electric chair, partyman, vincky waiting, lemon crush, scandalous. Nice album, very dark and beautiful. Fits perfectly with the film.

Hmmm yeah, great lines !!
Lemon Crush is my favourite tune though...
I front sometimes, but U know, this is as quiet as it's kept...
Listen, I just gotta get outta here, that's all

Wow, I thought this song, much like almost the entire album, was pretty dull and forgettable.

disbelief wow,I am shocked by this thread! I can't believe that many of you think this song is "dull","boring".I think it's one of Prince's true masterpieces.The lyrics are superb.

lol I'm demanding that y'all pull the 'Batman' CD out and play this song all day long.

It's a damn shame such a great song was wasted on such a commercial endeavor. He should've held onto it for another year and used it on GB. twocents

This is definitely one of the tunes that I would have loved to have heard as a 12". Just when the guitar starts to kick at the end it fades. Such a great song... my #2 song of his, only 2nd to "She's Always In My Hair."

I love this song. The lyrics are fantastic. The entire Batman soundtrack is very cool IMO. Hell, I even like Arms of Orion boxed
