    Welcome to The Ebonliner Podcast. Today's topic is Prince (Partyman).

    Partyman is a song by Prince from his 1989 Batman album and the follow up to his number one hit Batdance. I was blown away when I saw his music videos. He portrayed the Joker in both party man and the Batdance video. Prince acted out the jokers personality, and I think he would have been the perfect guy for the role in a movie. Watching him in the Partyman video and the Batdance video had me convinced that Prince could play as the Joker. Prince liked excitement and mystery, and he was that kind of performer. He was truly a man with a half painted face in the Partyman video and doing the Batdance in the other video, Batdance with a painted face as if he were saying: Batman! Eat your heart out! I'm having a ball!

    Really, the character of Prince was called Gemini, half Batman and half the Joker. That was the purpose of the half painted face. The character was created by Prince.

    Prince was a very talented guy. He would have made Batman a great supervillain as the Joker. Prince would have been great for the character. I could see the Joker’s crazy sense of humor when Prince acted him out in his music videos. The face of the Joker suited Prince, but at least we know through his music even though he did not leave us with a movie. Partyman and the Batdance were two music videos that you can watch as a short film. Prince left us with a great memory portraying the Joker doing the Batdance. He was the Partyman.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Ebonliner Podcast.
