Jop Tournament Round 2.1

I've decided to do the second round in two big chunks, partly cos intuition tells me the RLY hard decisions will be coming up next round. Also it will take less time!

Interestingly enough, Lex, I have to admit that the fact that it was iconic didn't really occur to me until you said so during the last round, after which I thought, "Hm... Yes, I guess it is, isn't it?" I think I always think of it as one of the tracks stuck onto to Immaculate Collection rather than a freestanding single of its own, and that kind of diminishes it (if you remember that stuff).

I don't know when I heard it first but I do know that by the time I did I knew all about it - the look, the sound, the dance, the video, the meanings. Of course, it's the queerest of Madonna's singles pre-Erotica.

(first Madonna song I consciously heard was 'Crazy For You' in 1991 or so; first Madonna song I was "on the spot" for was 'Erotica', which scared the 9-yr-old me (but fascinated at the same time); first Madonna song I loved at the time was 'This Used To Be My Playground'.)

I actually disagree with you about Don't Stop. I didn't really feel much towards it until a previous round prompted me to listen again and really, it's AWESOME. There's just so much going on.

I'm a bit bored of Vogue in the same way I'm a bit bored of Billie Jean.
