− | |introduction = '''Dance With The Devil''' is an unreleased track recorded in February 1989, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during initial sessions for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman] movie and accompanying [[Album: Batman|Batman]] soundtrack album). The song is based around the phrase "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?", used in the movie by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(comics) The Joker] (recited by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicholson Jack Nicholson] as 'The Joker' and by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Blick Hugo Blick] as 'Jack Napier'), which is sampled during the track. This was later sampled in [[Batdance]], but is not considered a sample of this track as it originates from the movie. The track samples the Gregorian chant initially used in [[The Dopamine Rush|21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite)]]. The song contains sampled dialogue from the film (the cathedral scene where [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joker_(comics) The Joker] dances with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Vale Vicki Vale]). | + | |introduction = '''Dance With The Devil''' is an unreleased track recorded in February 1989, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during initial sessions for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman] movie and accompanying [[Album: Batman|Batman]] soundtrack album).

| The track is long and suite-like, containing several separate sections, including a classical synth run similar to the ending of [[When Doves Cry]]. It was included as the ninth and final track on a March 1989, configuration of the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] album. [[Prince]] felt the track was too dark, however, and while it was on a configuration together with [[Batdance]] after that was recorded in mid-to-late March it didn’t make the final cut of the album and remains unreleased. A line lifted from the song "''Don't dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. The curious try and always die"'' was included in the liner notes of the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] album. | | The track is long and suite-like, containing several separate sections, including a classical synth run similar to the ending of [[When Doves Cry]].
