Super special thank you to all the Sinniks & the members and NEW Sinnik1.0 @Dick Rooduyn (you will get a digital "shout out" in the next upload as well as the other membership perks you get immediately)!
The Circus continues and Prince is ready to conclude the Lovesexy tour. The most ambitious tour of his career was not planned well logistically and lost money. Prince is poised to take out his frustrations on his band, his management team and anyone else who might tell him who he is supposed to be as an artist.
Maybe Prince is sabotaging himself, but as it stood, Prince was still being held up as the genius of the moment.
Warner Bros. needed a soundtrack for a movie that pit a mysterious eccentric with a cape against his charismatically devilish archenemy. Luckily for the studio, there was a musician who knew what it was like to be both: Prince.
“I said, ‘You, the Bat, Batman,’” recalls his creative partner Albert Magnoli, the director of Purple Rain. “And he went, ‘Cool.’” Prince’s former manager Bob Cavallo would take issue with how the news was delivered, but Prince signed on nonetheless.
In 1989, director Tim Burton’s stylish Batman reinvented superhero films. Every aspect of it-from Jack Nicholson playing the Joker opposite Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader, to the high-tech Batmobile, to Danny Elfman’s dramatic score-was a bat signal to Hollywood: The genre was about to become big business. “We went to make a kind of movie that up until that time really no one was making,” says Mark Canton, then a head of production at Warner Bros. “It really was the game changer.”
The involvement of Prince, who as a kid used to play the theme to the ’60s Batman television show on the piano, underscored that fact. But it wasn’t just a purple cherry on a blockbuster sundae. The album he made to accompany Batman helped turn a summer extravaganza into a slow-burning phenomenon. Though it bore little resemblance to a typical tentpole soundtrack, the record spent six weeks atop the Billboard chart. The lead single, “Batdance,” is a six-minute mashup of various song parts and lines of dialogue sampled from the movie. It was Prince’s first no. 1 single since 1986’s “Kiss.”
Back then, only Prince could get away with turning such a hyper-commercial assignment into something so avant-garde. But the icon didn’t go completely rogue: “There was so much pressure on Tim,” Prince told Rolling Stone in 1990, “that for the whole picture, I just said, ‘Yes, Mr. Burton, what would you like?’”
Prince may have been serving a popular franchise, but what he created was very much in his own image. “It was in his domain,” Magnoli says. “He wasn’t told, ‘There’s a scene and Michael Keaton is doing this or Jack Nicholson is doing that. I need a song.’ It wasn’t that. It was just, ‘Do what you want because you’re inspired by the movie.’ So he did what he wanted.” And while the album isn’t a classic by the artist’s high standards, there’s never been a soundtrack like it. The often-goofy, poppy, guitar-laced record is the perfect complement to a movie that, despite its noirish elements, is still about two profoundly ridiculous comic-book characters. This is the story of how Prince brought the funk to Batman
His style, in both the musical and aesthetic sense, is timeless and unique to his unwavering sense of the self and fluidity. Across all his masterpieces such as 1999 or Purple Rain, it is clear that Prince’s dynamic world was created by his imagination, which cherrypicked from across the spectrum of popular culture when cultivating this iconic oeuvre.
It transpires that his first foray into music was inspired by one of the most famous imaginary worlds in popular culture, that of the DC Comics hero Batman. This revelation makes a lot of sense, as none of us are likely to forget that Prince wrote the soundtrack album for Tim Burton’s 1989 adaptation. Prince was a big fan of the 1966 Batman TV series, the theme was the first melody the Minneapolis native ever played on the piano, his first dalliance with music.

Prince 💜 wasn't from here. Prince was from another planet 🌍. He was just special people 😢
Pleiadian 🌌
Je suis d'accord avec toi à 1000 pour cent
He was from God,
”And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:“
Mark 1:9-10
I was able to see prince in concert 3 times. It was amazing!! He was a genius and no one can make music like him. I can relate. 💜💜💜
Which shows did you get to?
@@Sinnik22 I saw the purple rain tour, the emancipation tour and the musicology tour. All amazing!! I have the brochures for the shows. I miss him everyday. 💜💜💜
I got to see him in 2000 and 2011. He was actually better in 2011! He only got better with time. A true legend!

@@yvonnefailthart5227 lucky you. These are 3 distinct eras of Prince!
It’s amazing how you find all these audio clips and match it with the visuals .... so much attention to detail 🥰😍😍😍
It’s a tough gig but a vast education
Batdance featured one of his MANY great guitar 🎸 solos! 💕
Highly overlooked & true!!
Love this film and of course the soundtrack. Love scandalous 💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟💜💟
Proper classic
Man, I actually have gotten to the point when I see a new post from this channel, I refuse to watch it
until I have absolute quiet time with no distractions. I'm currently hiding in an unreserved conference room at work to see your latest masterpiece and I'm not disappointed. You're animation skills have become NEXT LEVEL!!! The opening shot of Prince on a mountain with lightning bolts raining down?!?! DAAAAAAYUUUUHM!!!! That's got to be a POSTER my friend!
And some folks have beat me to the compliment but the slooooow crawl of UPTOWN revealing itself from behind the city skyline......
very inspired and just so cool!!! 👋👋👋👋🤓🤓🤓 The only downer for me as a rabid Prince fan is just the obvious, a sequel to Purple Rain was inevitable and it deserved to be in the capable hands of actual, professional screenwriters and film makers. Yes, he had great ideas and I'll even give Kim some props but lord, this movie could've extended his career a bit more instead being one of the nails in the coffin so to speak. Great video as always!! Can't wait for the next one!!!
It’s so AMAZING to hear the minute by minute workday account bro! I’m climbing into bed but my heart is Racing and I’m smiling. This is really hard to do, but real heartfelt thanks…that’s Fuel. Continuing. Thank you!
Facts !!
Amen brother 😍
_Sinnik22_ is on a level all of his own .
He is an editing master. His videos teach us along with his ideas of producing his own original graphics.
The Future after Pink Cashmere my favorite Prince song.
Every August 5th, I play Batdance out of respect. Seriously! Every August 5th.
Please explain! This is a coincidence
@@Sinnik22 Went to #1 on August 5th 1989.
@@Sinnik22 no such thing as coincidences 😎 ☯️
Awesome video btw, favorite installment so far, I love this era. Your editing is fantastic.
I would love to see what "Grafitti Bridge" would have been if Kim Basinger remained director.
I’d love to just read the script.

Prince was a God who chose to incarnate and gift us with his incredible talents. His spirit will reincarnate and gift us again in some other form. 💜💟☔🌌🌠☄️🌆🎆🟣☯️♾️⚕️
The confidence was real! It shows sometimes its double edged I love this stuff! This is kind of super fan era. The real casual fans were gone or leaving.
Man thank you thank You thank you infinity!
It's a special kindof love that we hold for Prince. There was and will _never_ _again_ be anyone like Prince .
He had so much depth and the ones that understand him are the ones that are still here to learn even more about the _man_ born Prince .
Thanks for sharing again, I love this era. Back when prince was smiling, and felt free. I'm curious how much Warner made off this album?
I think a lot. This wasn’t on paisley park records
Genius!!!!
Your unique fabulous Prince-umentaries are turning into works of art themselves!🤩 Before you even put 'UPTOWN' I was thinking of 'Uptown'! Prince not only created a kind of purple world, Prince created his own culture, a way of life, a way of self love, self esteem, walking even, a unique alternative to the norm, to what others think are cool, and yes, of viewing the world. Beautiful intro Sinnik22.
Alan Leeds... tsk, tsk, tsk.... no, no, no, Prince WAS happy with Lovesexy, he wasn't happy with Alan. And the other managers. Lovesexy could have been bigger, granted it was ethereal and extremely artistically unclear, but that's what ART IS.
Art of any kind is up for interpretation, careful study and analysis almost, like fruit, or something that you squeeze or work at it to ... GET IT. Lovesexy was kind of a spiritual challenge for the public. It wasn't bigger because there was no movie and the general public had associated Prince WITH A MOVIE. Thus, to get back to that success, the Batman '89 movie was an opportunity for the public to re-associate Prince WITH an exciting movie. Tick, tick, bang and it was a success! Danny wasn't aggravated, he was jealous. Period. Representative of the kind of oh, only THEY can do something great. Not a Prince. Examples of the adversity, which to some degree will be there in anything really, that Prince faced at the time.
I think Lovesexy wasn't bigger because of the album cover
You’re posts are well thought out , challenging, and thankfully complementary. I never considered the public association at the time with princes music and the release of a film. It does make sense because video was huge & prince didn’t spend a lot of time on individual narrative for his videos.
Lovesexy had a lot going on. Compact disc was a new tech, but Prince insisted on 1 track. The fight for When Doves Cry good call. 1 track… maybe not. The confidence was real but some decisions were not the best. I love the album. I had cassette and it was one of my first CDs. Tour was amazing. When I got my hands on that bootleg German show 🤯. That should’ve been put out. Album has great songs! Alphabet St looks like an AV project. I know he didn’t like to spend for videos. I Wish U Heaven was good. Glam Slam still one of my fav songs. Album deserved so much more.
@Tony Dortmund. It wasn’t released in the US. I agree with the artistic decision. Then the show should’ve have been Lovesexy in order. But I’m very thankful it was not.
Thanks Once Again!💜 Time to settle down and watch this! I just Love hearing his Voice! I Miss Him!💜
Always happy to see you show up FG! Enjoy
Such a flood of information..
hoping it hits the spot & scratches the itch
@@Sinnik22 ;3 Oh it does. Kim Jong Ill saw Princes 'Bat-Dance' music video at one point, & He told papers or some people in the USA that he'd LITERALLY sing the ronrey-rong from Team America, ON stage if hollywood would let him play every character in a Batman-movie, Similar but more so than what prince did in the music video.
I SAW the bat-dance.. But never knew he did that until way later. The first time i saw him was as a kid when he was doing a performance on some music video, Grabbed his crotch and said 'Suck it baby!' xD
He was someone who was SO wrong for a Batman superhero-movie, And weirdly-enough at the same time was so horribly-RIGHT, It wouldnt have been the same without him! And while he may not have been the right tone for 'Batman-Returns,' He definitely was qualified to contribute songs to 'Kickass,' Or something else like that (Instead of that stupid over-monologing they do in it) And for whatever reason despite all his talent.. He never completely got his due, But if he had it would have looked like more than one rehire for a superhero-movie in some capacity or another.
Kim Basinger Gave Do The Right Thing Big Respect ✊🏿. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I respect her
Classic Spike, prince did pay for a huge chunk of Malcolm too tho
@@Sinnik22 Good To Know. Good Looks!
You are so amazing. I'm such a huge prince fan and you bring the human side to the fore. I thought he was so unreal but now I get to meet him as just a man with the same ego issues as everyone else. ❤❤❤
Awesome! 🔥

If you combined all of these and made a full film from them I would watch it in its entirety . These are very dope. Thanks.
Prince and Miko were going at it. Lol. I had heard about the infamous exchange but never saw the video before.
Prince was pressed. Where did you read about it?
@@Sinnik22 I’ve read/heard in at least a couple of interviews about Prince telling Miko to turn his guitar down or else he was going to kick his ass and Miko responded with “Who? You and your bodyguards? This might be a different confrontation. Lol
@@briandonald I think you’re spot on
Prince....Lol.....What a life he had.
“Path of the righteous man…”
@@Sinnik22 You know it. Lol.
Batman is one of my favorites. The music, the film, the players (actors.) Also the dancing videos. When Prince plays the Joker I enjoy that. I enjoy Scandalous. We lost a genius. 😔
Without question. Genius
Wow that's awesome ❤❤❤❤
I love Prince so very much
I love him for being fearless. I love him for pushing himself to be the absolute best. I love him fir giving us permission to dream. I love Prince for inviting us along on his fantastical, magical, beautiful and creative world.
We will never be the same, and by that, we know we are changed for the better
Thank you Prince
Prince was blowin backs ooout!😂
I was curious about the script on Kim Basinger's dress. The Internet did not seem to know, so I spent some time trying to decipher it. I'm pretty sure it says "ЛЮБОВЬ" which is "LYUBOV", Russian for love. I wonder if there was a reason for using Russian? Other than the letters look cool and are mysterious to people like me. Big up Do the Right Thing.
So good.
What's up with this F#$%^ drum machine ?. Prince was a machine.
Prince was a lot…Of genius
Seal wrote one of the best...
'BAY-BY!' 🎵🎶
Prince's soundtrack was OUTSTANDING. Kiss from a Rose was THE next GREAT Batman theme in '95.
Brilliant documentary. Very informative and entertaining
Really enjoy your content!
I appreciate that!
WoW ..... this was really really *PRETTY!*
Your work is always magnificent but this time the graphics first 5 minutes was very pretty🤍
Great work as always. Prince really hated hip hop in the beginning because Kim rapping is wild
Most EXCELLENT!
I think your pic is that “Lost” symbol? 🤔
@@Sinnik22 Sith. With a serpent in the middle representing kundalini.
Ah. There’s a Jedi emblem too. Sweet.
Love the intro grafix! I had heard rumors that Jack Nicholson requested Prince for Batman. Partyman and Electric Chair are 2 funky!
Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor since I was ten years old.
He made the right choice with Prince .
My god , was there anything Prince couldn't do ? Bigger than life ! ✝️
I honestly don't know how I missed the whole Anna Fantastic thing. I didn't hear about her until maybe a few years ago. Then I suddenly see her mentioned in a couple of your videos. Then a couple of years ago I saw an interview of her with The Violet Reality podcast and then what really hit home was when Apollonia recently interviewed her.
She was apparently England’s Debbie Gibson/Tiffany except with a playboy spread. I don’t recall her either.
@@Sinnik22 knowing that she's a British pop star puts some perspective on it. Not everyone from over there crosses the Atlantic like the 60s and 80s British waves

@@Sinnik22 She finer than a muphucka though
Sorry but I think Lovesexy was amazing! My only caveat was Prince should've separated the tracks.
Most definitely. I feel sometimes Prince got lost in his artistry and forgot the marketing and business side of things
One of my favorites!
Get a copy from the UK. The tracks are separated 👍
I’m in the middle of watching this movie and this appears on my timeline…
Funny to hear the man from "the inside" always trash Prince. Proof that people in close proximity aren't close to you.
Naughty!!! using our footage 5:30 5:41 5:46
7th July 1990 in Cork I was there.. he got pissed at the fans for singing World Cup songs during a ten minutes version of Alphabet Street lol
We’re you a journalist, vacationing, or are you from there?
@@Sinnik22 nah I was Ireland's biggest ten year old Prince fan
Already ART, or easy fantasy..?

They kill me actin like anybody know them girls
Man, Alan Leeds is such an Eeyore. He never seems to get why Prince dumped WB. Leeds acts like the recording industry was the best thing since sliced bread because he was never the artist getting ripped off by it, he was the manager cashing in. The 2 positions are NOT parallel.
One has to wonder, after working for James Brown and Prince for decades, and all the theft by the recording industry STILL happening, why, in 2022, he sounds so unsupportive.
That generation (Leeds, who I respect greatly)is grateful to bosses. Prince was heading up the new generation that asked “why are you a boss when You’re living off of my back?”
@@Sinnik22 Which is my point: Leeds is no dummy. Why is he so invested in the financial microcosim, and not the macrocosim? He knew what the breakdown of the industry profit margins were for artists!
Yet Leeds spends all this time analyzing how Prince made poor business choices, and lost money, yet always avoids the topic of how many MILLIONS from Prince's work fed the WB machine. The lost tour money was chump change by comparison.Leeds believed in that machine. He was counting pennies and missing pounds. Doesn't matter: Prince figured out how 2 beat the system. I used to respect Alan Leeds, but not anymore. He is only an authority on Prince until the early 90's. He doesn't emphasize that enough: Prince did great without him, For 23 years, they had no contact.A little humility goes a long way toward credibility. There is this patriarchal vibe that weirds me out that is not part of the Boomer generation, which definitely challenged the status quo. Prince was only 11 years younger than Alan.
Sinnik22! 😎👍
🥳
He was from the world worldly

what can i say that i didnt say allready ?!
@ 18:43 small error (bcause i allready said all the good :-)
appreciate u
Where is that footage of Kim Bassinger rapping from? Looks like Cool World
Marrying Man 😉
Thx 😉
Is that the wonderful Neil Gaiman i hear???
You know your stuff! IMPRESSIVE!!!
What song "Anna Waiting" is she talking about 13:18??? Vicki Waiting?
FYI...The producer of Batman's name is JON Peters NOT John Peters.
Good info. Looked it up, apparently he changed it from John to Jon at some point.
1989, the Batman release...Prince was in the spotlight, for most of that year. The Prince- Kim relationship was plastered across every tabloid for months, and there is a lot of old tea on some of the crazy stuff that went down prior to her disappearance from Paisley. Carmen said Kim's stuff was still in the drawers of the room she stayed in when she first got to Paisley, and Robin Powers dropped a lot of hot goss about those two (as well as herself), after Prince passed: you did get in the wrinkly knee shade. Poor Anna Fantastic was a flash in the pan of his Purple Badness. I never agree with half of what Eric, Alan, and a lot of Revolution leftovers negative commentary about Lovesexy: it was a mind blowing live show, period. Prince, with the exception of Graffiti Bridge, was on fire. The SNL's 15th anniversary performance of Electric Chair on SNL has no competition: flawless. Prince was a beautiful cat, for sure.
Yeah it was dope dude but it is what it is

Do you have a video about Michael Jackson's visits to paisley park? I am Not talking about the meeting with Quincy Jones and MJ about the Bad album track.

@@Sinnik22 You a star! Thank you so much. Can you also please find out about the secret track that Prince and MJ recorded. People talk about the BAD collaboration that never happened but apparently they did record a song or 2 that is hidden in either MJ or Prince's vault. I read along time ago but can't remember if the song was done before or after Purple Rain and Thriller or During or after The Diamonds and Pearls and Dangerous album.
@@kresienm9031 I’ve been looking for the reworked “Bad” track Susannah mentioned harder than Indiana Jones searching for the Holy Grail. Will keep you posted. 😉thank you for checking out our little channel here.
Using the Eddie Murphy Raw clip for the "playing the Batman 66 theme" is wrong and genius all at once
From what I since from the gentleman that scored the movie was a little jealousy toward prince that did the soundtrack which prince was already with Warner brothers so prince would never take credit for his score but just for the soundtrack but he seemed a bit jealous because of prince's fame and publicity.
7:05 this is why she wasn’t in the movie lol
Graffiti bridge would have been a better film with cat Glover Shelia E and Dr fink
Thank God I am not.
Nope don't remeber
His songs ruined dark tone of Batman.
@George for me it's NOT.
Brilliant Genius, Artistic Power!!!
Sincerely, unequaled talent!!!!
