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.
