Seb Downie-Blackwell @downieseb.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Tim Burton, Director of Batman (1989): "So Prince, how's the soundtrack coming along for my new film?". Prince: "Made it real sexy like you asked, Tim." TB: "What?" 593511315

Kimiki @kimifw.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Have you seen literally any Prince music video from the '80s? He had that reputation. Unless you're suggesting Burton was living under a rock. 120
Egofreaky @egofreaky.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Prince made a whole arse Batman rock opera due to this gig, and was politely asked to dial it back a bit 070
Tiger Pournelle, Furious Irish🏳️🌈 @tigerpournelle.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Prince was amazing. Name another song like Batdance that would be a top ten hit AND have THREE major key and tempo changes in the song. 010

Rob Abraham @robabraham.bsky.social · 09/02/2025"Ooooh yeeah, oh yeah - I wanna bust that body" The lyrics to Batdance are absolutely filthy and I really wish more comic book movies had absolutely bonkers over the top soundtracks these days. 1471

Ⓐnarky Rules 🏴 @anarkyrules.bsky.social · 09/02/2025The real impressive part of those songs is how the filmmakers found the exact perfect spots to inject them into. Every song Prince did for that fits the scenes they're in like a glove. 2400
magabuster.bsky.social @magabuster.bsky.social · 09/02/2025One of my favorite lines in any song... "If a man is guilty for what goes on in his mind - then give me the Electric Chair for all my future crimes" 141
A Rather Bewildered Owl @bewilderedowl.bsky.social · 09/02/2025if you hire Prince to write a song, you're by default asking for it to be real sexy, because why else would you be asking Prince? 051
Iain @iainl7.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Mind you, all the evidence you need for Burton making that the brief in the first place it literally any random frame of Batman Returns. 010

holliswhelan.bsky.social @holliswhelan.bsky.social · 09/02/2025If he didn't want the soundtrack to be real sexy, he shouldn't have hired Prince!!! 0100

Ray Anselmo @rayanselmo.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Tim: "Um ... I never asked for it to be 'real sexy' ..." Prince: "You hired me, right?" Tim: "Yeeeees." Prince: "Then you implicitly asked for it to be real sexy. QED, child." Tim: "... okay, fair." 0101
Vanessasaurus 🇨🇦 @vanessasaurus.bsky.social · 09/02/2025It really is incredible that Prince was able to mesh with Burton's zany, cerebral style. But then again is isnt because the man was a true musical icon for a reason. 020
Major League Bitch (she/her/Sith) @hooray4kaiju.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Now I'm thinking seriously. I actually LOVE the Prince Batman album. My absolute favorite song on that album is "Lemon Crush" was has absolutely no place in or business in Tim Burton's Batman. But there it is. Prince did make that soundtrack sexy. 2440
Major League Bitch (she/her/Sith) @hooray4kaiju.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Prince - I wrote this song for Jack's Joker the chrous goes- "Tell U what his name is Partyman, partyman Rock a party like nobody can Rules and regulations - no place in his nation Partyman, partyman" Tim- the character is called Joker not Partyman.

Robert Vaux @rvaux16.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I'm a So Cal boy who went to college in MN from 1990-1994. I brought Danny Elfman's Batman soundtrack with me and pretty much spent the entire time explaining "No, Prince didn't write this. Yes, I'm sure." 0240
summerandsal.bsky.social @summerandsal.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I could sing the praises of every detail of the Batdance video all day long. There aren’t enough words to describe the brilliance, the genius. 💜 030
Loz Flowers @lozflowers.bsky.social · 09/02/2025TB: “Have you at least done a theme song?” Prince: “Sure, it’s about seven seconds of us covering the TV theme, some of the sample dialogue you gave me and then the rest is random bits from the album, most of which have zero relation to the movie.” Don’t get me wrong, it all slaps though. 020
Tim Kayßer @timmyque.bsky.social · 09/02/202511 year old me is still confused by the concept of having both an “official soundtrack” and “music inspired by the motion picture” releases. Especially since he definitely purchased the incorrect one of those two options. 1240
Sunny (came home with a mission) @stillsunny.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I loved this album beyond reason (& also don’t understand why anyone would think it could possibly go any other way. If you want *Prince* it’s gonna sound like Prince) 010
