did u hear Madonna saying "Such a Pretty toy/ U my Private Joy" in the Dress U Up video?

what was the reason they recorded "Love Song" in the first place?

Lets not mention the heartbreak Prince went thru afterward

She also incorprated a few bars of Billy Jean in her act on The Virgin tour. She was just paying tribute to those two artists etc. whom she greatly admired then . And those songs were simply jammin'.

In 1987,Prince invited Madonna to Paisley Park and asked her to co-star in 'Graffiti Bridge' with him.She declined,but the two of them worked on a few songs together.It's possible that "Love Song" was originally intended for the film.They sent the tapes back and forth,and Madonna kept the song for her 'Like A Prayer' album.

Not that Madonna is a great actress or anything, but the two of them together in such a bad movie would have really been depressing.

yes, but SO MUCH FUN! they would have both been coming off major bombs (Cherry Moon and Who's That Girl). i think if she'd been in it, the two of them could have been bad enough to save this movie!!! lame piece of crap destined for cult classic status for sure, instead of just a lame piece of crap.

It would have been an interesting movie,to be sure.Could you imagine them singing "Love Song" to each other in the film (I'm assuming this would occur during a break-up scene)? "Are you wasting my time...are you just being kind?"

He didn't ask her to star in Graffiti Bridge - they were talking about doing a Broadway musical together,with Paula Abdul doing the coreography. The idea didn't come off and then Prince went to see Madonna in Speed The Plow, and gave her tape of some of the stuff they had been working on - and it went from there. I think the musical was going to be called The Dream Factory

I know about the Broadway musical Prince was planning in 1986,but I don't think he wanted Madonna to be a part of it.But I do know that he wanted Madonna for 'Graffiti Bridge'.I've seen the original early draft of this script and Madonna's character was named Ruby,if I'm not mistaken.Cat has also confirmed that Madonna was Prince's first choice.

In September 1987,Prince invited Maddy to Paisley Park where he showed her this early script and asked her to co-star.She called it "a piece of shit" and said that Prince was stupid.In a 1989 Rolling Stone interview,she mentioned that she and Prince had discussed a movie musical together but that she wasn't gonna do it.

GOOD NESS, just the thought of those two combined w/ THAT script...

I read in the paper a few years ago that madonna was one of princes conquests as it were. And that they wrote the love song together because they loved each other. Apparantly the article claimed madonna was insatiable and prince had to calm her down so he wasn't exhausted for his concerts... Probably a load of rubbish though...

So,Madonna was wearing Prince out? Looks like he met his match with her,huh?

JaneyPoos said:

I see it the other way. Prince was one of Madonnas conquests She's definitely the man in that relationship.




hmmm, "this is not a love song."

and it wasn't written til 3 years later, btw
