Though I was a huge Madonna fan back in the day, I just wasn’t wild about this song. I like it, but don’t love it the way I do a lot of her other songs like ‘Crazy For You’, ‘Into the Groove’, ‘La Isla Bonita’ and ‘Take a Bow’.
I kind of think I agree with you on that..
It’s really impressive how Madonna ruled back then. I think my favorites remain “Holiday” and “La Isla Bonita”.
