The track was produced and recorded in 1989 boasts two verses from Big Daddy Kane, which he reportedly came up with on the spot in the studio. The final mix from Luongo combines Kane\u2019s verses with new vocals from Prince and a chop of the 1960s Batman theme. In the end result was funked up boom-bap. Unfortunately, Warner decided the remix was \u201cweird\u201d and tabled the track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing, recording, mix and editing, took a day and a half. But I had a deadline! I remember FedEx was there waiting as I did my best to finish up, so we could make the next plane to rush it over to L.A. and Minnesota to let Warner Bros. and Prince hear what I had done. \u2026 And then Warner Bros, said they didn\u2019t like it; it was too different. And that was it. They didn\u2019t release it. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UxN0R_-N-tU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince and producer John Luongo\u2018s \u201cBatdance\u201d (Remix) finally sees the light of day.
