Lucky guy Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 there's one thing you'll MISS and that's MORE! MORE! MORE!MORE!MORE!MORE! MOREMOREMORE!!
Lymon Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Loved it when I first watched Dick Tracy(and didn't know who Madonna was, I was little), and it's one of my favorites off I'm Breathless now. That entire era was awesome. Edited June 24, 2009 by Lymon
HolidayGuy Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 One of my favorites from I'm Breathless. Did this track precedede that other one that has similar lines, "Who could ask for anything more?" And I imagine that also was a Sondheim track?

peter Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^ Yes, "More" from Dick Tracy is a Stephen Sondheim track, but I think HolidayGuy was referring to "I Got Rhythm" by George and Ira Gershwin. "More" kinda quotes "I Got Rhythm" with a wink and a nod. "I Got Rhythm" was composed in 1930, so, no... Gershwin's song came before Sondheim's. Here's Judy Garland singing it in 1943: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ9Uhphc5Rg Skip to about 0:55 if you want to hear the beginning of the familiar part. ("I got rhythm / I got music / I got my man / who could ask for anything more?"

Guest bedtimestorynyc Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 performed it with a piano accompaniment in high school!!!!!
Guest Borderline Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 absolutely love it! I think July should be I'm Breathless appreciation month.
horn Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I love this album. One moment she's on top of the game, next, you see her went broadway. Can't think of any other artist who has the ball to do such thing.
Guest Danny86 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I love this album. One moment she's on top of the game, next, you see her went broadway. Can't think of any other artist who has the ball to do such thing. But horn, how can you forget the acclaimed... http://www.christina-a.net/gallery/data/14...r_Man-video.jpg Anyway, "More" is fantastic, one of her best vocals ever!!!
Guest bluejean Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Umm.... Does anyone know are there full versions of the Dick Tracy performances??
Lucky guy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 I love Al Pacino in the rehearsals, stumbling around groping the girls and repeating the lyrics. Brilliant. Also Madonna's singing in this track is amazing on the end credits, and each word is crystal clear.
Guest dicktracy Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 absolutely love it! I think July should be I'm Breathless appreciation month. Me likes this idea!!
Narendra Sen Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 absolutely love it! I think July should be I'm Breathless appreciation month. I think that too!!!
Genevieve Vavance Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Love the Breathless hair and eyebrows and the album of course lol
MaddysMuff Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 LOVE those pics, acko. Fuck was she HOT! And "More" is brilliant.
agclef Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Wonderful, WONDERFUL soundtrack. Everytime I listen to it it reminds me of summer...great imagery also related to this, a really good, creative time in her career also, I think she surprised a lot of folks back then when she did this stuff, not to mention she was ultra-hot in the movie too!
Guest Pud Whacker Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I LOVE BREATHLESS AND MORE AND THE SOUNDTRACK!!!
magom Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 absolutely love it! I think July should be I'm Breathless appreciation month. YES, PLEASE
loomer Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 If you do I'm Breathless, that means we have an album for each month of the year.
horn Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I love Al Pacino in the rehearsals, stumbling around groping the girls and repeating the lyrics. Brilliant. Also Madonna's singing in this track is amazing on the end credits, and each word is crystal clear. Not to forget this is one of the most difficult Madonna song to sing: If you've got a little, why not a lot? Add and bit and it'll get to be an oodle. Every jot and tittle adds to the pot Soon you've got the kit as well as the caboodle... more... more...
Narendra Sen Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Everytime I listen to it it reminds me of summer... wow, me too
kingvirtue Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Umm.... Does anyone know are there full versions of the Dick Tracy performances?? There has to be in the vault somewhere!!! I have always been surprised that someone hasn't edited together the 2 performances from the film, and other clips from the movie.
funkydita Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 "You may find all else a ball?!" I heard it as that for years, then it clicked... More is great, one of my favourites. For some reason I love the line "Gotta fill your cupboard, remember Mother Hubbard", it makes me smile. I'm Breathless is criminally overlooked in my book, it's an almost perfect pastiche. Lyrically it's her most playful album, her vocals are strong and at times wonderfully campy. Listening to the More, Sooner or Later and What Can You Lose demos versus the finished versions she'd obviously worked hard on her voice during recording. And, as much as I love Mandy Patinkin, I wish we had a polished solo version of What Can You Lose.
acko Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Defintely in the AL Pacino 'More' scene...but I think the rest is just alternate/raw vocal takes... The 'What can u lose' demo is awful as is the song
