− | |introduction = '''Scandalous''' is the eighth track on [[Prince]] | + | |introduction = '''Scandalous''' is the eighth 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, five months after the album’s release, [[Single: Scandalous!|Scandalous!]] (the title containing an exclamation point) was released as the album’s fourth single. [[Prince]]’s father, [[John L. Nelson]], is credited as a co-writer, but his input into the track is unknown. The vocals on the album are credited to a character from the movie, as if [[Prince]] is singing on their behalf. [[Scandalous]], like [[The Future]], is attributed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman Batman]. |
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 17|17 October 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on a day off from the [[Lovesexy Tour]], between stops in [[16 October 1988|Greensboro, North Carolina]] and [[18 October 1988|Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]). On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 1|1 October 1989]], three and a half months after the track was first released, the track was re-worked to a three-part version called '''The Scandalous Sex Suite'''; the three parts were titled '''The Crime''', '''The Passion''' and '''The Rapture'''. Actress [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Basinger Kim Basinger], who played the character [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Vale Vicki Vale] in the movie, took part in these sessions, which were released on the [[Single: Scandalous!|Scandalous!]] maxi-single, also known as the [[Single: Scandalous!|The Scandalous Sex Suite]] EP. | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 17|17 October 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on a day off from the [[Lovesexy Tour]], between stops in [[16 October 1988|Greensboro, North Carolina]] and [[18 October 1988|Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]).
