A great one from the comedic genius known as Al Yankovic, who always knew what's hot, & this one is no exception!

🎶 Well, we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana🎶

1️⃣ 1️⃣ Ever Again
buff.ly/ncm7kBv

From her Honey album, “Ever Again” is all about empowerment, but Robyn delivers with a softer groove, which is characteristic of other tracks on the LP.

buff.ly/pOigEzi

Robyn reunited with stellar producer Max Martin for an album track off of her Body Talk LP.

Love how the chorus soars:
🎵 So all I need is a time machine
A one way track
'Cause I'm taking it back, taking it back🎵

1️⃣ 3️⃣ Should Have Known
buff.ly/e6ppcFb

Robyn's ballads are works of art! SHK one is no exception.

🎶 & when you blamed it all on me I should have known
That's what liars always try to do, it wasn't me
It was you, you're the fool / And I should have known🎶

1️⃣ 4️⃣ Konichiwa Bitches (2007)
buff.ly/QeznmVj

From her self-titled 4th album - KB was inspired by a Dave Chappelle skit & is hip-hop/R&B flavored. Robyn & producer Klas Ahlund aimed to be as zany as possible with the lyrics & nailed ‘em!

The anthem, the song EVERYONE knows, & the track that keeps the money rolling in for Sir Mix-a-Lot!

It is so big, she looks like
One of those rap guys' girlfriends 🎶

4️⃣ Open Your Heart (1986)
buff.ly/m9E8Fen

Madonna's 5th #1 song on the Hot 100. One of my fave videos! Madonna as a sex worker but cool & distant - "You can see me, but can't touch me"! used again in an AOL promo audio for '94's Secret! buff.ly/uB3wnDh

5️⃣ Causing a Commotion (1987)

A #2 smash in the US and a UK #4 peak, Madonna scored with the 2nd single from the Who’s that Girl soundtrack. M had her people on the track: Donna DeLory & Niki Haris on backing vocals & Shep/Bray on the mix!

6️⃣ True Blue
buff.ly/Q71ex3P (Euro)
buff.ly/kgftCr8 (US)

A #3 smash in America, TB topped the UK charts!

The video for the US single was, however, much different than the European single. MTV held a contest for a DIY video, and the winner was "the" US video.
