Batdance: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 133 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Prince scholar, author, and #PrinceTwitterThread co-founder, Edgar Kruize and I gush over “Batdance,” the chaotic, sample-heavy, #1 dance/pop hit from the Batman soundtrack. For a song with barely any lyrics, we somehow manage to discuss a lot more. Get the funk up!

Scandalous: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 132 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Chris Lacy joins me to talk about one of Prince’s most effective sexy-time ballads, “Scandalous,” from the Batman soundtrack. This quiet storm of seduction (thanks for the killer phrase, Chris) is a top-tier baby-making song from the man who has a whole subgenre of slow-jams of this kind.

Lemon Crush: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On Episode 131 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, new podcast guest Kevin Evans and I try to make sense of the cryptic and possibly double-entendre-filled Batman track, “Lemon Crush.” Is our interpretation train of thought for the lyrics framed by our gender? That’s for the listener to decide; however, Prince may have had several influences in mind when coming up with the lyrics to this upbeat song.
