Oh, I've Got a Live One Here

As the 80's was coming to an end, Prince had his 4th number one hit when in the summer of 1989, the blockbuster movie "Batman" was released starring Michael Keaton as the Bat, Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale, and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. It also featured a soundtrack produced by Prince and featured this hit that propelled him on to some big hits in the 90's as well... Our "Prince March" ends today with "Batdance"...

I've actually posted this video already in The Excellent 80's, but since we're rolling through the best of Prince in the 80's with our "Prince March" I can't leave this out... the first time I saw this video I remember thinking that I do not like the naked Prince; clothed, dancing Prince is borderline, but please no more naked crawling Prince! Well, anyway, some women (a lot actually) found him to be really sexy... to each his own... personally, I always loved the scrub-wearing keyboardist! Here is "When Doves Cry"...

80's Movie Weekend

Following up on the heels of the hit movie and soundtrack "Purple Rain," Prince dropped this turd on movie goers everywhere in 1986... thankfully, I can say I never paid to see this movie, nor have I ever watched the whole thing, so maybe I'm unqualified to call it a turd of a movie, but I don't think so... I feel bad for those people that did drop some hard earned cash on this one... here is the movie with Prince as a gigolo called "Under the Cherry Moon"...

Prince has a disease... and it's call stupid!
