Now Madonna's been in the game longer than most pop artists still big (well not in the US) today and apparently 30 odd years of hearing the same songs is starting to bug her!
She has made her distaste for some of her songs clear in her recent 'Rolling Stone' interview where she referred to some of her classic hits such as 'Cherish' and even modern fan favourites like 2005's 'Sorry' as 'retarded' but according to recent reports it's one of her best known tracks 'Like a Virgin' that she is really tired of hearing! Of her relationship with the song she has allegedly said:
'Not to toot my own horn but they always play my old stuff when I'm in a shop or wherever. They are usually songs I am really sick of though, and I have to say, 'Oh, please turn this off'.For some reason people think that when you go to a restaurant or you are going shopping that you want to hear one of your own songs. It's usually 'Like A Virgin' - and that is the one I don't want to hear.'
Fair enough, having one song following you around for so long must be a bit irritating but MORE TO THE POINT can anyone picture Madonna saying the words 'toot my own horn'!? Grain of salt people, massive grain of salt.
But if it is true, don't forget your roots Madge! They're the songs that got you where you are today!
