of American Pie by Madonna yet? sometimes a cover tune can be better than the original.. too bad this is one of the cases where a cover makes you cringe and think that there really is no record executives alive with TASTE

The lamest thing of all about Madonna's remake of Don Maclean's American Pie...ok the lamest thing of all is the actual sound of her singing it...

OK the second lamest thing then, is that Don Maclean's American Pie was very timely to the late sixties.

It might at least have been more interetsing if someone had updated it, lyrically. An 80's American Pie that included symbolism about 80's culture and politics. Or a 90's one. Or a year 2000 one. I don't think I'd want Madonna to be the one to do it though.

I much preferred the Weird Al Star Wars version!

P.S. I have the Brady Bunch kids version of the original-lyrics American Pie on CD! Listenable only for its novelty value. Even then , not all that listenable.

That is just God-awful. And just when I was starting to tolerate Madonna. I guess next up will be Cher's version of "Blowing in the Wind"?

please, don't joke, it could happen.. complete with that ultra-cheezy synth warble she did in her last song...
