FreeMySoul Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Madonna and Diplo re-record “La Isla Bonita” with new lyrics During his recording sessions with Madonna, Diplo was able to convince the Queen of Pop to re-record the vocals for “La Isla Bonita” so he could use it in a dub play. The new lyrics refer to “Major Lazer”, an electronic music project created by Diplo himself. A dub play is a special version of a song with alternative lyrics, usually putting your name in it and is often the deciding factor in a sound clash. According to Wikipedia, a sound clash is a musical competition where crew members from opposing sound systems pit their skills against each other. Sound clashes take place in a variety of venues, both indoors and outdoors. Primarily featuring reggae dancehall,or Jungle music. The object is to beat or “kill” their competitors.

Confessit Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Of all her songs to "re record". That said, it does sound kinda cool....she obviously must really like him to be convinced to re-record for his "special set".
MPowered Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I swear to god, if we get another La Isla live performance...
Guest ditaluver Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 sounds gret but i really would like to punch that girl in the face
Bill Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 sounds gret but i really would like to punch that girl in the face Could she possibly be any more obnoxious???
Fighting Spirit Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Of all her songs to "re record". That said, it does sound kinda cool....she obviously must really like him to be convinced to re-record for his "special set". Seriously, Diplo and Madonna re-recording LIB is the most random M-related thing I've ever seen.
FreeMySoul Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Madonna's statement on re-recording La Isla Bonita: Thus, yesterday, I woke up in the morning and first thing I did was text my manager, 'Do it, now.' and that's how it was simply released, I felt convenient, enthusiastic and inspired, and so it was a go."
Jazzy Jan Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I feel genuinely tremendous about this. Bill, let's get genuinely tremendous about it all.
erotica blu Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 She will wield this dated ole to Latin boys again on tour. Nobody likes this song but you Madonna. I think La Isla Bonita will be the only Madonna song requested by her to be played at her funeral.
Guest ditaluver Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 i love this song...but i agree it has seen the stage too many times
mamifero Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 sounds gret but i really would like to punch that girl in the face get in line honey
erotica blu Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 why not who's that girl instead?Because LIB is the only 80's song she's obsessed with.
Guest Rachelle of London Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Would've been amazing if it was Deeper and Deeper!
Humberto77rj Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 As long as it is just for a dub version. Not a tour performance!!!! Although i'd love diplo sexualizing (is it a word???) her onstage!
Fighting Spirit Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Sorry but it just sounds like the instrumental album version and I don't want that dated sound on the new tour, so NO diplo on the tour.
erotica blu Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Would've been amazing if it was Deeper and Deeper!Anything would be better than the little island.
Shandris Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 So is this rehash going to make into the new album? I hope not just be it as a gift for waiting
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 get in line honey I'm surprised no one made a Gaga gif with this yet ...
Jamesy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I don't think it's a re-recording of the whole song. Diplo said it was for one of his "Dub Play" things - for a "sound crash" contest. Only to ever be played once!!! I'm getting from the video that the choice of song was Diplo's idea. He says it took "a long conversation to get this to work" - so Madonna wasn't keen on doing it that's for sure! :-) Here's another Madonna reference from last night's TV show:
Jamesy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 And if Diplo wanted a Madonna song to "win a sound clash" he's gonna go for what's widely considered a "mainstream classic" isn't he? :-) Not Deeper & Deeper (as much as us fans would maybe have liked that).
CMoody Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I wanted to hear the rest....stupid girl pawing at the controls like a rabid cat....someone put her down.....
MPowered Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Songs Madonna is obsessed with: 80's: La Isla Bonita Like a Prayer 90's: Human Nature Vogue 00's: Music Hung Up Candy Shop
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I don't think she's obsessed with Vogue as much as she knows how much of a crowd pleaser it is.
CMoody Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Ray of Light could be added to that 90's list...it appeared on 3, nearly 4 tours (axed from RIT) before she gave it a rest.
