If you’re trying to think about what might be coming next and guessed today’s song has a video that features Madonna writhing around in the middle of a road, all I can say is… you’re right.
I guess I’d been digging on “Borderline” and “Lucky Star” in the summer of 84, because I purchased her first album (which this comes from) early that fall semester, just a few weeks before she became a superstar with Like A Virgin. There are a number of Madonna tracks from the 80s that I still rather like, and honestly, I think a few are great songs. Alas, though it’s okay enough, I can’t say that this is one of them…
