They said on tv that Madonna had to ask Abba for permission before she released Hung Up because it´s very reminiscent of an old Abba song.
" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

disbelief

no no no no NO

Every other track on her album is reminiscent of other songs...

"Hung Up" contains an actual direct sample from Abba ("Gimme Gimme Gimme"). Abba had only granted permission for one other sample previously...

Fugees "Rumble In The Jungle" uses Abba's "The Name Of The Game".

OK, she had to get a permission for an ABBA sample, you´re right.

It´s OK, don´t worry about it. I merely said what they said on tv (RTL) a couple of weeks ago but you´re right, it was an sample issue...it´s just that they didn´t say so when I heard it and I´m not really a Madonna or ABBA fan.

But it´s all good.
