I've been listening to Who's That Girl Soundtrack and did MJ copy a song from there blatantly? Chorus: "I'm bad - I'm so so bad And you know it" Chorus: "Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on now You know I'm bad, I'm bad you know it" Who's That Girl Soundtrack was released June 1987, while "Bad" (song) was released September 1987. It's even more ironic because "Bad" blocked "Causing a Commotion" from #1. That is just the release date. It all depends on when the song was written and copyrighted and who got to it first. That being said, its really just one sentence and was a popular phrase back in the 80s. One I think that is lame, but it was still a popular phrase nonetheless.

Wow, what happened to Nick Kamen! I just read he passed away. Young! 59! He died of unknown causes according to the press. Too soon RIP Madonna Protégé Nick Kamen, '80s Pop Star and Model, Dies at 59 extratv.com/2021/05/05/madonna-protege-nick-kamen-an-80s-pop-star-and-model-dies-at-59/“Madonna, citing his "beautiful voice," worked with collaborator Stephen Bray to contribute the song "Each Time You Break My Heart" to his debut, singing prominent backing vocals on the track. A dance hit in the U.S., it was a Top 5 pop hit in the U.K. and other parts of Europe, and he followed it up with a popular cover of the 1966 Motown tune "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" (1987). In 1988, Kamen's sophomore album, "Us," was produced by Madonna's preferred producer at the time, Patrick Leonard, and she again sang backing vocals on the lead single, "Tell Me."

Dammit, still no video edit of the song! Which is my favorite version, been waiting over 30 years for that to be available. There were the Immaculate Collection and Celebration mixes/edits too. Also missing the Shep's 'Spressin' Himself Re-Remix.

Dammit! Where are the “Fever” & “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore” mixes? I wonder if the delay has something to do with them both being cover songs?

I am obsessed with 'Ray of Light'. Even the outtakes - especially Liquid Love - are excellent youtu.be/vfhBIjZTYdU'Music' deserves better on Streaming tho ... it's the only Madonna album to decrease in percent weekly streams? Smh. The title track is iconic, how is it not streamed more?

Ling- you're talking about the longer video edit, set to Shep P.'s mix, I gather? The shorter video is pretty much the 7" edit (it sounds a little faster on vinyl, though). "Sky Fist Heave" is majestic, as is the Ray of Light album itself. That cameo appearance in Snoop's video. Here's a nice Truth or Dare Oral History article, for the film's 30th anniversary, on Vulture: www.vulture.com/2021/05/madonna-truth-or-dare-oral-history.html

It's even more ironic because "Bad" blocked "Causing a Commotion" from #1. Just wanted to mention that the video for “Bad” was filmed in November and December of 1986 so the song was most certainly recorded by 1986. I read a story years ago in a MJ bio that Madonna actually watched the filming of the video one day when she was shooting scenes for Who’s That Girl as that was in production from July 1986 to early 1987 in New York where “Bad” was also filming. Who knows if that’s true though but it’s where she supposedly saw him do the grotch-grab move for the first time.

What an electroclash bop 🤧 ENDED Sigmund Freud. and the conviction with which she says "it's not my time to go!" ... love the strings too I'm glad it went top 10 (thus not breaking Madonna's top 10 US hit per era streak which lasted until Rebel Heart), but it deserves to be more remembered/streamed - and it's criminal that it didn't chart on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 ("Erotica" teas)
