Tim 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?"
Prince: "Made it real sexy like you asked, Tim."
TB: "What?"

RENT FREE IN MY HEAD I TELL YOU
The lyrics to Batdance are absolutely filthy and I really wish more comic book movies had absolutely bonkers over the top soundtracks these days.
It became part of the art
"The movie is about stealing a orca and releasing him back in the wild"
"Okay - so I'm thinking a gospel style ballad with a contagious hook and a huge choir singing the chours"
Now - the sequel got a horrendously scary bad song.

Every song Prince did for that fits the scenes they're in like a glove.
"If a man is guilty for what goes on in his mind - then give me the Electric Chair for all my future crimes"
Prince: "You hired me, right?"
Tim: "Yeeeees."
Prince: "Then you implicitly asked for it to be real sexy. QED, child."
Tim: "... okay, fair."
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.
Yah; he does that.
A dude broke into my car which has a multi CD player and cassette and he stole my Diamonds & Pearls cassette.
That was like four years ago.
Still angry about it.
Stole my Prince cassette. I told the SFPD and the cop who was also GenX went "Damn. He steal any other Prince cassettes?"
No
Breakable Frisbees.
Then they had the nerve when the hit their teens to ask "do you have any Durab Duran or Prince albums on vinyl?"
I did
"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.
Prince - (stares in Prince)
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.
Warner Bros. Exec 1: Alright, time for a new Batman movie. Let's avoid making it weirdly erotic like we did that one time, that was kind of off-putting.
Exec 2: So should we get?
Exec 1: ...get me Joel Schumacher and Seal.
Purple rain in the rain!!!
Raymond, Iggy Pop, Beastie Boys, Sex Pistols

It starts off pleasant enough.
Old guys, playing old guy music and then Prince is unleashed and we get closer to God
