Batdance

This is “Batdance” by Prince, an artist who defined the music scene of the ’80s.

It’s included on the Batman soundtrack.

It was released in 1989, but even now it feels very fresh.

The funky rhythm and soulful vocals are really cool.

Using audio from the movie in the track is so innovative! I recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy a stylish, unique Halloween.

Prince and the Revolution – Kiss (Official Music Video)

Released in 1986, this track brilliantly blurs the line between funk and pop, overturning musical conventions with an innovative approach—one of Prince’s quintessential songs that showcases his genius.

By completely eliminating the bassline and building a minimalist arrangement from just drum machine, choppy guitar, and a mesmerizing falsetto vocal, it stands as a milestone that opened up a new frontier for funk music.

Featured on the album Parade and used as part of the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon, it hit No.

1 on the U.

S.

charts in April 1986, becoming Prince’s third American number-one single.

Sparse yet overwhelmingly groovy, it’s a classic I highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel funk coursing through their whole body—even on sweltering summer days.

Another Lonely ChristmasPrince12rank/position

Another Lonely Christmas

Prince, who sadly passed away in 2016, was an extraordinarily intelligent person and even appeared as a commentator on economics-themed programs during his lifetime.

His music is intricately crafted, reflecting that intellect, and the songs he left behind remain as fresh as ever.

One such Christmas song by this legendary artist is Another Lonely Christmas.

Its melody is reminiscent of his signature hit Purple Rain, so be sure to give it a listen.

Endorphine Machine / Prince

Speaking of K-1’s theme song, this is the track.

During the late 1990s, when K-1 reached the peak of its boom, Fuji TV— which broadcast the events— used this Prince song as its theme.

The guitar riff in the intro is striking, and even now, just hearing it brings back memories of the K-1 fighters’ matches from that era.

Let’s Go CrazyPrince14rank/position

Let’s Go Crazy

Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy,” which also drew attention for being used by Yuzuru Hanyu, opens with lyrics about gathering here to make it through life.

That might be a bit over the top, but an entrance ceremony is something similar.

It’s a song that makes you want to take your first step with determination into the new school life that’s about to begin.
