But I am going to try and listen to it

No they are actually a German band based in Berlin. They are a relatively unknown band with only one album released to date, called 'Strike'. The only good song is 'Umbrella'.

I thought Don McLean's version was awesome and Madonnas sucked.
That's what makes this hobby so much fun.
Agree with MH. Madonna does not have the cop-on to intepret a song like American Pie, which incidentally, captures a slice of history. Fortunately Madonna is now history - poet's justice!

American Pie is a song that I find myself singing to in my head more than any other song....maybe it's the catchy chorus....great song also his Vincent.
