In 1989, Tim Burton used '''Baby I'm A Star''' in a rough draft of the ''Batman'' movie, during a scene where The Joker leads a parade of large balloons, to indicate the kind of music he wanted in that scene. Once [[Prince]] was brought in to provide the music, he provided [[200 Balloons]] as a replacement, which was eventually replaced itself by [[Trust]]. | In 1989, Tim Burton used '''Baby I'm A Star''' in a rough draft of the ''Batman'' movie, during a scene where The Joker leads a parade of large balloons, to indicate the kind of music he wanted in that scene.
