Wait till they get a load of me! Well done dance and music video!
I love 1989's "Batman" and the soundtrack from the film is wonderfully done by the powerful man in purple the now late great "Prince" and he really rocks and has it going on with this video "Batdance". I remember when the video first played on "MTV" what a hit it was and the dance moves and visuals are stunning it was neat and crazy to see Prince dressed as the Joker himself! Plus the appearance of dancing Batman characters make the video go. The words and lyrics from the song are put together so well as they cut up parts of dialogue from the blockbuster film. Highly memorable work of art that went along so well with 1989's biggest and best film.
