johnnox Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If you could play God and extend any Madonna songs, which ones would they be? I was listening to La Isla Bonita on the train this morning and thought it should have had another couple of minutes on it. So I'm saying La Isla Bonita Like A Prayer Erotica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Hecty Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Most of her singles always have extended versions/mixes though, I believe. Just listen to those instead. The first two to me that come to mind are "Die Another Day" & "Impressive Instant" - I love them so much, I never want them to end. "DAD", as much as I love it, feels quite rushed at times.

johnnox Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 La Isla Bonita 12" version was awful - its stopped and started too much, it wasn;t long enough. Like A Prayer 12" would have been perfect had they not got rid of the first verse. And Erotica is so brilliantly produced with so many subtle layers, I'd have loved to have it to have gone on for a couple more mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluejean Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I actually don't like songs dragging on too much. I usually prefer to listen to the single edits. Unless it's something badly chopped up like Ray Of Light or an epic like 'Like A Prayer.' Or a song faded out awkwardly like 'Like A Virgin' on Immaculate.

Queen Bitch Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Music should have been 30 seconds longer and Hung Up shouldn't have been edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Bad Girl, that is much, much better extended than the original. The album version lacks something and the intro for the extended one is simply perfect. Gone would have been better longer, i think, with a bridge and a fade ending full of harmonies.

The next time you want Pussy, Karby, look in the mirror baby. I just love this track, it's lazy, it's bluesey, it's sexy...... I always want more of it.

Guest bluejean Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Music should have been 30 seconds longer and Hung Up shouldn't have been edited. I agree. Hung Up just dragged on without actually adding anything new as the song progressed. Much better as a single edit. Music, I think should have had an album version with an extra minute. Like that extended version that leaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I loved the breakdown but of Hung Up and the way it built itself up slowly....awesome Madonna moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny86 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 "Voices" comes to mind, the outro could have been extended with more strings and all. Other than that, can't think of anything else, but she does have several songs that go on for too long ("I Want You" is the clear example), but I disagree about "Hung Up", I think it should have never got a radio edit, it's just MEANT to be like an extended remix!

Zezwer Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Voices... it has so much potential and is build to have more of a climax and more things going on in the song.. the shortness of this song is a let-down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Danny - I actually like the length of I Want You... it's typical brooding Massive Attack style, always building and building into something dark and forboding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperPop Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Beat Goes On (it needed one more chorus after the Kanye part) Voices Die Another Day in general most Madonna songs have satisfactory lengths the single version of Hung Up destroys the whole majestic breakdown of the song..the album version is absolutely flawless!
