Hung Up

But he's 27, so I imagine at some point in time he might have grown up listening to a little bit of Madonna, whether by choice or just by happenstance.

Yeah, given how bad that Rolling Stone rock best 200 songs of the century have been, little surprise that Hung Up didn't end up on that list.

What's the one that's like, is it eight minutes or four minutes?

You only got four minutes to save the world with Justin Timberlake?

You could have given me 3,000 chances and there's not a chance I would have got it.

But the song was called Hung Up.

And it's sampled Gimme Gimme Gimme by ABBA.

And that was her big hit.

Isn't that crazy? I mean, I thought I know kind of, I'm pretty good at music, but I didn't know this one.

So yeah.

But anyway, that's, that's the answer hung up, man.

We got some things to get to.

Hypersonic missiles.

And will we talk? Question 14, Like a Prayer, La Isla Bonita, Material Girl and Hung Up.

Question 15, I Remember Everything, Rainbow, Butterflies and Slow Burn.

That's all of our rounds complete.

Question 13, Reign Me In.

17, Going Under, Hypersonic Missiles and Will We Talk are the top tracks of Sam Fender.

Question 14, Like A Prayer, La Isla Bonita, Material Girl and Hung Up are the most streamed songs by Madonna.

And question 15, I Remember Everything, Rainbow, Butterflies and Slow Burn are the top tracks of Kacey Musgraves.

Madonna.

Just because my favorite song ever of all time has always been always always at least been in the top three has been Madonna hung up.

And I think since making this album that is like I've always been in like the pop or the indie pop and sort of things.

But that is also a realm of music that I loved.

It's

true.

Okay, let me have a good thing because I actually want to pick a really fun one where, well, it's annoying because Hung Up Madonna is the one.

That would be my top, top, top one ever of all time.

How does Cover Songs work? Cover Songs works by us giving each other either an artist or a song that we would like to hear covered.

So if I was to give you like Hung Up by Madonna, you'd tell me who you wanted that to be sung by.

Or if I just said, hey, your artist is Madonna, then you decide what song she should cover.

Yeah, I like that.

So we did a session towards the end of the making of the album where...

One of the questions that we were asking on this record was, you know, Confessions 1 is, I think, kind of always has this, because of Hung Up, it has this kind of contributor to the record, which was ABBA.

And, you know, how that sample was used to create that song and to extend those ideas and to find something new.

And following up that formula, I just think that does feel nostalgic.

So that became, you know, you asked earlier about how do songs start in the studio.

that piece became a starting point for a song.

And so just by chopping up a little, rearranging it, and then kind of in that style of hung up as well, like it's not good enough just to rest on a sample.

How can you extend it? Like, how can you take that piece and move it into sort of a section that's unique and distinctly different from the original was how that backing track was built.

So this is far from the first time the two Hollywood stars have shared their playful dynamic with the public.

And even in 2023, Chastain shared a viral clip on X showing the duo dancing in sunglasses on top of a bench in a hotel room to Madonna's Hung Up song.

And it looks like The duo is back to be poking fun at each other and be having fun

in their own way and style.

But at the same time, like it charted everywhere around the world.

And then obviously, you know, 25 years later, Madonna sampled that song for her track Hung Up and got that song, you know, back into the popular consciousness where it deserved to be.

Yeah, this one was a real shocker to find out because it's one of my favorite ABBA songs that I discovered thanks to Madonna and

Hung
