Title: Madonna's best single deal/package


Matys - May 21, 2008 09:06 PM (GMT)
What is your favourite Madonna single? And I'm talking about the whole package, the actual song, video, single sleeve, remixes, promotion etc.

It's quite hard, but I think my favourite is Bedtime Story. Great song and an equally awsome video. Remixes are cool and the sleeve is something entirely different.

Close is Die Another Day. Most of the remixes (at least the edits) are almost as good as the original and the video is a classic.

Others: Frozen, Hung Up, Deeper and Deeper, Like a Prayer and What it Feels Like for a Girl.

When I read the thread title, this is the one that I was going to say.

It was a flawless release in the UK.

However, it was never going to be a hit hit. "Bedtime Stories" might have been better served if the record company put their weight behind a more commerical single. If "Take a Bow" had the same effort behind it ...

I also think that "Ray of Light" had a pretty much perfect release.

I have to agree, Bedtime Story was a great single package.

A close second would be Ray of Light.

The 12" of "Bedtime Story" was beautifully packaged too. Absolutely stunning.

Shame the song is so insipid and limp!

Just goes to prove that a great PACKAGE is nothing without a PERSONALITY!

Wowsa! Someone else who thinks "Bedtime Story" is well dodgy. I thought I was the only one! :chuckle:

It's such an absolute nonentity.

Well Bedtime Story is #13 in my top 50 of greatest Madonna songs of all time. (YES I compiled a top 50 on a rainy afternoon and it was quite fun too :bradleh: )

Riverwide - May 21, 2008 09:19 PM (GMT)
Christ. It wouldn't even be in my Top 50 Madonna songs.

#13 huh? Unlucky for SOME!

It's not even a great Bjork song, never mind the slag from Detroit! :P

I have to say I'm not too keen on the song, either. Morel's remix is great, though, without changing the song too much. It just gives it that extra kick.

I'll have to say Vogue, even though the remixes were weak.

Like It Or Not would probably be in my top 40 as well.

I think I should post the entire list, if you think Like It Or Not is out of place there are quite a few surprises for you. :grin:

Fuck off!

If you'd seen the dogs dinner I'd made of it (which you won't because Riverwide has already started eating it) when I pressed "Edit" rather than "Quote" and then had to quickly backtrack and fix the fucker, you wouldn't be complaining about a typo.

Honestly. Some people are just soooooo ungrateful about the efforts that I go to.
