Isaac BootsGUEST
And, um, so I just watched Open Your Heart and Express Yourself over and over and over and over and over again, and she kind of, like, was my first dance teacher.
Jessica KirsonHOST
That's ...
Jessica KirsonHOST
I, I love her.
Kellie RasberryHOST
I don't know if it's ever going to happen, but she took advantage of the moment.
Kellie RasberryHOST
She dressed like Madonna in her true blue Open Your Heart music video era from the late 80s, which was really cool.
Kellie RasberryHOST
Madonna's longtime friend, Debbie Mazar, I always want to say her name differently, somber was in one of the stalls uh seth rogan random in a black leather jacket smoking a joint because that was the theme of the night with snoop dog as

Oh yeah, oh yeah, now we have these ladies on Mars and Taurus take their take on the 1986 Madonna's Open Your Heart.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I got something to say.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Open your heart to me.
SoulmateHOST
Before we finish, here's a little story about the name and the secret reveal.
SoulmateHOST
So some long-time listeners may already know this because I told it in the episode 100 and then in the episode 215.
Sonny PooniHOST
This was her third studio album, and by this time, she already had the Vision Quest soundtrack under her belt, too.
Sonny PooniHOST
There were five singles released, Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, True Blue, Open Your Heart, and La Isla Bonita.
Sonny PooniHOST
Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, and Open Your Heart all went number one on the Hot 100.
Sonny PooniHOST
At number three, we got Raisin' Hell by Run DMC.
Sonny PooniHOST
This is the highest it got.
JoshHOST
Bon Jovi released Slippery When Wet featuring You Give Love a Bad Name, Living on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or Alive, and turning the band into global arena rock superstars.
JoshHOST
Madonna released True Boo- True Blue featuring Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, and the title track.
JoshHOST
Janet Jackson released Control, dramatically reinventing her career and establishing her as a superstar separate from the Jackson family.
JoshHOST
Uh, one of the greatest albums of all time, Paul Simon released Graceland, blending American songwriting with South African musical influences.
James RodriguezHOST
When True Blue dropped in the summer of 1986, it was already a monster record.
James RodriguezHOST
It had huge, massive hits, Live to Tell, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, and True Blue.
James RodriguezHOST
By the time that La Isla Bonita was chosen as the fifth and ultimately would be the final single in February of 1987, most albums around that era would have been run out of steam already.
James RodriguezHOST
On to the next album.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
From an 86 album, it went to number one in 1987.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
My all-time favorite Madonna song, and I put it on my Rolling Stone ballot, and it did not make the final 500, is Open Your Heart.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
I think that is an exceptional, exceptional record.
Dan FisherHOST
Yeah, I'm curious why that, because she had so many number ones that have various levels of quote-unquote importance in the culture.
Dan FisherHOST
Open Your Heart seems a little more like it was a big hit at the time, but I don't know why that one.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
To me, it's all about that bass line, that throbbing bass line.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
If you've ever had a chance to hear the 12-inch mix, which stretches that bass line out to about 10 minutes, I can bathe in that bass line.
Chris MolanphyGUEST
Right.
