− | |introduction = '''Partyman''' is the fourth track on [[Prince]] | + | |introduction = '''Partyman''' is the fourth track on [[Prince]]’s eleventh album [[Album: Batman|Batman]] (the motion picture soundtrack to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Burton Tim Burton] movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman]), and two months after the album’s release, [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] was released as the album’s third single in the UK, with a North American release the following month. |
− | Although [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] was a successful single, the song was not included on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits]] collections. It is believed that this was due to the licencing of movie dialogue included in the opening seconds of the song, although these were simply edited out when the track was included on the [[Single: Peach|Peach]] single, which contained other minor hits not included on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits]] collections ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Vale Vicki Vale] | + | Although [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] was a successful single, the song was not included on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits]] collections. It is believed that this was due to the licencing of movie dialogue included in the opening seconds of the song, although these were simply edited out when the track was included on the [[Single: Peach|Peach]] single, which contained other minor hits not included on [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits]] collections ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Vale Vicki Vale]’s exclamation of "Oooh, I love purple" was still included, however). |
− | + | The vocals on the album are credited to a character from the movie, as if [[Prince]] is singing on their behalf. [[Partyman]], like [[Electric Chair]] and [[Trust]], is attributed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(comics) The Joker]. | |
− | + | A live version of the track, recorded on the 2006 [[Támar Tour]] (segueing into a cover version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Central_Station Graham Central Station’s] [[It’s Alright]]), was streamed on the [[NPG Music Club]] in March 2006. | |
− | + | Although exact recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in March 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that produced [[Trust]] and [[Batdance]]). | |
− | + | A short video clip of [[Prince]] playing along on the Cleo bass was shown on the documentary [[Video: Prince: Musical Portrait|Prince: Musical Portrait]]. It was likely not an actual recording session, just [[Prince]] showing off. | |
− | + | '''Partyman''' replaced [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] (which itself had replaced [[1999]]) as the musical background of the museum scene in the movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman], in which [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(comics) The Joker] traps and then ’serenades' Vicki Vale. | |
− | '''Partyman (The Video Mix)''' features additional saxophone by [[Candy Dulfer]], marking her first of several appearances on a [[Prince]] release. | + | Remixing for the single release took place at some point between March and August 1989. '''Partyman (The Purple Party Mix)''' is notable for including sampled clips of several earlier songs in its introduction: [[Sexy Dancer]], [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]], [[Head]], [[Partyup]], [[Let’s Work]], [[1999]], [[Raspberry Beret]], [[Erotic City]], [[Kiss]], [[U Got The Look]], [[Housequake]] and [[Alphabet St.]]; although these clips are brief, this would be a precursor of sorts to some of the studio medleys played over PAs before shows on various tours (beginning with the [[Nude Tour]]), and to studio medleys like [[Purple Medley]]. This remix also includes a sample of [[The Future]] and a chant from [[Batdance]]. |

+ | '''Partyman (The Video Mix)''' features additional saxophone by [[Candy Dulfer]], marking her first of several appearances on a [[Prince]] release. Interestingly, both the '''The Video Mix''' and '''The Purple Party Mix''' contain sampled chants from the unreleased (January 1988 version of) the song [[The Line]] that were later reused on [[Acknowledge Me]]. | ||
