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 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]). Samples of the Gregorian chant initially used in [[The Dopamine Rush|21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite)]] can also be heard in this song. |

[[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. |
