A sexually charged song by Prince written for and included in the soundtrack of the 1989 movie Batman. The song appears during the end credits.

This song is an edit of an expanded collection of songs entitled The Scandalous Sex Suite, which comprised three songs: “The Crime,” “The Passion,” and “The Rapture”.

Prince’s father, John L. Nelson, is credited as a co-writer on the song. Prince often incorporated melodies written by his father’s music into his own songs; he had previously done this on “Computer Blue,” “Around the World in a Day,” and “Under the Cherry Moon,” among others.

In addition, Danny Elfman incorporated the melody of “Scandalous” into his official score for Batman. Thus, his “Love Theme” on the soundtrack lists the composers as Elfman, Prince & John L. Nelson.
