Madonna - "Rescue Me"

[AFRO SAMURAI]

Phenomenal song from the oversexed years leading up to Erotica! This is a great example house-influenced pop music from the early 1990s (alongside songs like "Too Funky" by George Michael and "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters).

I think it's one of her best records from the early-1990s. No surprise it was a big airplay hit in the US and UK -- even without a proper video. Not only is the beat hot, but the lyrics are awesome.

I think she tried to use the formula again for the song "Erotica," but I don't think that record even touches this one.


Fan-made video.

One of my favorite Madonna songs. I love when she just starts belting towards the end of this song. Shame it's never made it on a tour.

I enjoy it but it's kinda out of place on the place, because it's not as great as the other songs.

[Chicken Tetrazzini]

I like this song. Especially the Single Version and Lifeboat mixes. It's such an unusual song.

The lyrics feel like something Ingrid Chavez would have done around this time. Ingrid did write a good chunk of "Justify My Love". "Sanctuary" on the Bedtime Stories album felt like it was influenced by Ingrid's style as well.

I *love* the lyrics to this song.
