Saturday Night Dance Party!
This is how I am feeling right now. Dance like no one's watching. Sing like no one's listening. "Like a Virgin" - when Madonna was on top of the world! BONUS - just for the hell of it and because I CAN, here is another version of the same song:
Hello AM from Bermondsey. It's amazing what you can do on a gondola if you put your mind to it. But is it just me or does she sound like she's sucked helium? Jean-Paul
G'day, A.M. How sorry I am that I'm unable to hear your alternative version to Madge's brilliant classic, which she made when she was actually still one - NOT! Could sing it myself, of course, but that really would be putting a strain on the lyrics even more than M managed to do.
All well chez vous? Are your aches and pains now confined to yesterday? All ship-shape here. At long last Summer's decided to drop in. For the last coupla days it's been well into the 70s. Too damn hot!
Btw: Few days ago we saw on our TV a brief interview with a Trump supporter from (where else?) your Deep South. Attired in brightly patterned, coloured shirt and high boots I thought he might suddenly break out into a chorus of YMCA - but, alas not. But what he did do was to assure the interviewer that said Donald was, he believed, deliberately sent by "Awl-mighty Gahd" to restore morality to 'our great nation'. So now we know. That simply explains it all. I've no doubt you'd agree that it makes perfect sense. ;-)
Regards, purrs and strokes to the kids - XXXs to you - and a respectful handshake to RTG.
Yes, both M.M. and A.M. I'd already surmised that this campily-costumed guy was, like his idol, one sandwich short of a picnic in thinking that the Donald was the one God had specially chosen to inject 'morality' into the country. That takes some beating! 'twould be funny if the danger wasn't there that there are enough of his mind actually to bring the nightmare about. Mind you, I must declare that, taking as deep an interest in the subject that I do, reading various opinions I agree that the Cruz could well have been even worse.
"Cruz could well have been even worse" - RAMEN! that muthafucka would institute forced xtianity on all citizens, outlaw all abortions, forbid the sale of contraceptives, and deny women all rights.
In my humble opinion, Madonna could turn a straight guy gay. She's only sexy in her own mind. Never heard the Yankovic version, but I like it. Gawd knows I needed a laugh.
It's May! And it's cold as a penguin's ass. 37 degrees last night (that's Fahrenheit, for those of you in Guam).
Now, I grew up with Madonna, and she is one of the few still around. Now I adored her right up till she did her album release Hard Candy. Since then I feel she is trying to hard to stay relevant. I'd have more respect for he if she was quite, and occasionally poped around for a lovely artsy album. In my opinion her greatest work to date was Bedtime Story album and Vogue was just something.
I liked Madonna's music back in the day, but it seems like she went off the rails lately. I loved Weird Al's versions of famous songs back in the day, too. Who doesn't remember "Another One Rides The Bus"?
You're really feeling like a virgin, Anne Marie? Did someone wipe your hard drive clean. ;) A classic song, but it's difficult to believe Madonna was ever a virgin.
1980s Madonna was my favourite era of hers. Love "Crazy for You", "Borderline" and "Express Yourself". An interesting comparison of Express Yourself and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" is posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy-D1Iwr7Gw

How I used to love Madonna. All the way right to her Confessions on the Dance Floor album. Then she went plum crazy,,,,instead of existing with grace.
ReplyDeleteRAMEN, magpie! madge really needs to shut her piehole and exit stage right!
DeleteG'day, A.M.

DeleteIt's no wonder that DT considers himself a 'progressive conservative'. But who wouldn't compared with the Cruz?

Just as I posted this comment, Raybeard suddenly appeared above me, kinda like an apparition. It's a weekend miracle!
DeleteMy kitties send luv to your kitties and Raybeard's kitties.
Let me try this again .... with Spell-Check:
ReplyDeleteMadonna When She Was Relevant.
I liked her back then ... now she's a little too Baby Jane Hudson for my tastes.
mee too. now...just YUCK!
DeleteA nice flash back to the past this morning. I hope she makes peace with her son.
ReplyDeletethe son has more sense than the mother.
DeleteOh dear gawd, Weird Al.
ReplyDeleteWHY NOT weird al? he's aged better than madge!

ReplyDelete"I feel she is trying too hard to stay relevant" - yeah, and it's ugly.
DeleteI loved Madge back in the day. I moved on.... RJJS
ReplyDeletemee too. sadly, she did not.

ReplyDeletenah, what has been touched can never be untouched again. I was 23 when I lost my virginity; madonna came outta da womb dirty.
