Brehs, can we just take a moment too appreciate not only a film that changed the game but a unique soundtrack by the late great Prince.


Party man :damn:


Trust :damn:

Scandalous :noah:


Random: when I was kid and I heard scandalous I asked my uncle why the woman on the song was crying :lolbron:

It's wild that he was smashing Kim Basinger during this time. :wow:

Eighties blonde sex bomb Kim Basinger probably met her match in Prince Rogers Nelson — at least for the small amount of time they dated while she was playing Vicki Vale in Batman and he was writing the soundtrack songs. Allegedly, while Prince and Basinger were recording "Scandalous," they had an incident with a pot of honey on the mixing board, and most of Basinger's moans weren't acting.​
