HUNG UP 



This is the first single off of the new album 

"Confessions on a Dance Floor" and is a huge hit in the clubs.  

One of my friends told me the rhythm of this sound sounds familiar. 

You're definitely right. The song has a sample from ABBA's song 

"Gimme Gimme Gimme" (which I have never heard before.) 



In this song, Madonna sing about someone she is hung up on. 

The song has a very great groove and it's definitely the most 

commercial song on the album. With the chorus line "Every 

little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you."

and lines like "Ring , ring, ring goes the telephone, the lights 

are on but there's no one home" the song gets stuck in your mind

and you find yourself singing these catchy lines. Also very strong 

tempo that will keep the dancers busy on their feet.



BTW, there is a little story behind this MV.Madonna was

seriously injured as she was out riding a horse on her

47th birthday. When she fell off, she broke her

collarbones (鎖骨), cracked three ribs (肋骨) and

fracturing her hand. She was forbidden to put her arm

above the level of her shoulder.But, Madonna IS Madonna.

In order to shoot this music clips, she ate a dozen of

pain-killer(止痛藥), and kept dancing for the music

until the pain overtook her. If you watch the MV closely,

you’ll see her movement is not as strong as usual.But

Madonna was still great. At least, she loves her job,

and she always tries her best to do it.

Hung Up 心神不寧

by Madonna

Album:Confessions on a Dance Floor

 

Time goes by so slowly

等待 讓時間變得好慢

[chorus]

Every little thing that you say or do

你說的做的每件小事

I'm hung up

都讓我心神不寧

I'm hung up on you

為了你心神不寧

Waiting for your call, baby, night and day

不分晝夜等著你來電

I'm fed up

受夠了

I'm tired of waiting on you

我不想再等下去

 

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait

等待 讓時間變得好慢

No time to hesitate

沒時間遲疑了

Those who run seem to have all the fun

跑掉的人似乎獨享樂趣

I'm caught up

我卻被困住了

I don't know what to do

我不知該怎麼辦

Time goes by so slowly  [x3]

時間過得好慢

I don't know what to do

我不知該怎麼辦

Ring ring ring goes the telephone

鈴鈴鈴一直打給你

The lights are on but there's no-one home

明明燈亮著 卻沒有人接聽

Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two

滴滴答 已經一點45分

And I'm done

等夠了

I'm hanging up on you

我要掛電話了

 

I can't keep on waiting for you

我不能繼續一直等下去

I know that you're still hesitating

我知道你還在猶豫

Don't cry for me 'cause I'll find my way

別為我哭泣  我會好好地

you'll wake up one day

有天你會覺醒

but it'll be too late

但到時已來不及
