::: APPRECIATION



I will always love this song. So many memories. Just felt like shining a spotlight on it.

Madonna :: Who's That Girl (1987)

Who's that girl, who's that girl

When you see her, say a and kiss your goodbye
She's trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You're spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can't

[Chorus:]

Quien es esa nina, who's that girl
Senorita, mas fina, who's that girl
Quien es esa nina, who's that girl
Senorita, mas fina, who's that girl

You try to avoid her, fate is in your hands
She's -ing, an invitation to the dance
Her is on the street, tu corazon es suyo
Now you're falling at her feet
You try to get away but you can't

[chorus]

[Intermediate:]
Light up my life, so blind I can't see
Light up my life, no one can help me now

Run faster, her -er burns you up inside
He's spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can't

[chorus]

Light up my life, so blind I can't see
Light up my life, no one can help me now

Who's that girl
Now, who's that girl
Now, who's that girl
Now, who's that girl

[chorus]

I'm surprised this didn't get any hits. Possibly my favorite Madonna song...the one that really made me like her but it wasn't until years later that I started to buy her stuff. It's sad that she seems to have forgetten it. The DVD was released recently...no bonus footage, though. Great post, Jan. Love the lyrics with emoticons!

a forgotten jem, just shows that even her throw aways are better than the crap on the radio today.

Who's That Girl
Causing A Commotion
The Look Of Love

I love all of these songs!

I love the video to this song, too. She was in this bohemian-looking pants-suit with a man's hat on. I haven't seen it in the longest time, though. They rarely show this song on TV. I think the last time I saw the video was during some special hosted by Kurt Loder showing all of Madonna's videos on MTV around the time of Ray of Light? GHV2? Called "Madonnarama"?

Anyone have a YouTube link? Orgnote me.

The WTG SDTK rocked (well, the Madonna material any way)

Loved the cheesy movie, too.

this thread reminds me....

JANFAN4L said:

Yes. The movie was fun!

How could I forget those eyebrows...

DavidEye said:

I just got it. It was the first time i saw the movie and though it was cheesy, it was really fun to watch. I love that high pitched voice Madonna put on.

It will be forever a cult classic.

jayaredee said:

I think it's her best movie.Does the DVD contain any extras?

DavidEye said:

I have to buy the movie!

It's up there with Under The Cherry Moon for me. Not a quality movie on any level, but still a lot of fun!

Cheek said:

I too love ALL these songs, but TLOL is sooo gorgeous. I really wish she'd "rediscover" that one.

One of the Mpls gay bars and had a thing for Commotion lately. They've been playing a super extenda-version at their retro nite for months now.

endorphin74 said:

yeah,it's her Cherry Moon both of those films aren't nearly as bad as the reviews indicated.

DavidEye said:

does the DVD have ANYTHING on it? like the original trailers or videos?

endorphin74 said:

thanks!

and

but, I'm sure it'll be on a 9.99 rack soon enough, I can get it then.

endorphin74 said:

It probably already is....$14.99 is only the suggested price....I think places like Best Buy and other will probably be selling it for less than that. It's dissapointing that it has no extras and came out with no media attention but at least it came out...I didn't expect much but it's still a Madonna movie. I'm glad to see all these somewhat forgetten movies getting DVD releases, even without extras. The DVD format is great and it's certaintly helping the studios that keep releasing turkeys...DVDs give movies a whole new life that regular video couldn't always do (remember when some videos came out they wouldn't sell them in stores and you would have to wait so many months?).

Well Warners is infamous for their lack of extras, though they did a great job on the "Purple Rain" dvd. And even for the other Prince movies, they put the music videos that dealt with the film.

They could have put the "Who's that Girl" video on as an extra.

But in the end you shouldn't expect much extras from a movie that originally flopped.

Oddly I have that single. That was the first Madonna song that I bought. Wasn't the B side "White Heat"?

My fam had the "Who's That Girl" single. Rarely even see the video nowadays though, compared to all the other Madonna vids I mean.

i never liked the video
i hate when she played up the whole 'madonna with the kids' bullshit
she didnt look very good in that hat and suspenders get up either
movie's good though...actually i think it's one of her better acting performances, she wasn't "trying" so hard and didn't seem stiff or awkward

the movie is a guilty pleasure of mine...



loved it as a kid. parts of it are really funny.

love the guard watching her getting changed in the cell humming "jailhouse rock" and then when she kisses her fingertips and smacks them on elvis's lips on the poster in rhythm still makes me giggle.

and i have stolen the line "you want to know how i can tell you're lying? your lips are moving" a few times in life.

ps -

janfan, we need another 'control' thread. ive not posted in any of them, but i read and love them

"Okay, okay, what's your husband's name?"

"Louden."

"And his last name?

"... Clear."

"Just tell me, I won't be upset. I really just want to know. Are you the Anti-Christ? You can tell me, really. I won't be mad. You are, aren't you? "

"My bus doesn't leave for a half hour and I can't go back to Philly without any presents for my mom -- she thinks I've been shopping."

"Shopping? For four years?"

Seen it a million times.

"You marrying Wendy Worthington? I can't see it. You're not her type. "

"You know Wendy Worthington?"

"Sure, Wendy from Scarsdale. I had her in the cab once.

"Just because you gave her a ride, that doesn't mean you know her type."

"I didn't say I gave her a ride. I said I had her in the cab."
