Very interesting what you say Music Head . Somebody did once mention about it was suppossed to be to do with the Buddy Holly Plain Crash . Also what don Mclean was supposed to have siad about the meaning of it which was words to the same affect .
Just in case I have miss-understood , are you saying that is was not released as a single in the USA ? As for the Album you mentioned , I don't have that one . It is not however on her Greatest Hits 2 album . Mind you though , in her first few years she did make some good albums , but as the years went by , the got that they were not bottering with . Setting hits albums aside , her last really good one was "I'm Breathless ."
Anyway , back to the subject in hand . As for interpritations , as well as what they are meant to be , I find it is one that I for one that one can certainly use one's imagination with .
It does disoppiont me that it was voted the worst cover version . Belive me , there is much worse . But then it does fullfill me what you say that Don said about it . Another point , hearing her speak when it made No.1 , when sugested to her , she was not too keen .
I knew right form the outset what everybody was going to say about this , of course I did . But then we all have different tastes . So at that I am going to round this subject off with these few words .
Assuming Don Mclean wrote it , which unless I am worng he did . Though I would not have said it until Madonna did it , fair play to him for writing it . That much nobody can take away form him . And now I think about it I really do not think that there is anyway in which Madonna herself could have come up with it . But then for me , it is fair play to Madonna , and who ever it was for suggesting it to her for doing such an outstanding version . Fair play to you all
Though you might not belive this I do respect your opinions . So which ever version each of us individuals prefer , may we still enjoy many more happy hours of listening to them whatever they may be . Regaurds , David
