The way I heard it back in the day, Prince was asked to write a few tunes for the Tim Burton Batman movie,  but Prince flipped out and wrote an entire album’s worth of material. Who cares if it’s true? It’s a great story and I can just see him sweating over those synths trying to capture the essence of Bruce Wayne and the caped crusader with no thought at all about how the tracks might fit into the final movie.

The Prince Batman soundtrack has a few EXCELLENT tracks, including The Future, and of course, Batdance, which samples Jack Nicholson howling “This town needs an enema!” How can you go wrong? Lemon Crush is pretty sweet, too.
