On Episode 129 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Julian Long and I attempt to make sense of a song that Prince wrote for a budding ingenue but repurposed for the Batman soundtrack, “Vicki Waiting.” We toss around ideas of what the lyrics could have been in its original incarnation and debate whether this is a Bruce Wayne song at its heart or if it’s more suitable as a Joker song. The wait is over.

The goal of each episode of Press Rewind is to:
- Take a track by track look at the lyrical content of Prince’s discography
- Discuss my own interpretation of each song’s lyrics along with any guest I may have
- If submitted, discuss listener’s interpretations of each song’s lyrics
Thank you for joining me on this journey through Prince’s catalog!
