I'm watching the Madonna "Hung Up" video now
It came up in the auto-rotation at iFilm.com. Here's where I shamelessly plug my post at GDP http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2264786&mesg_id=2264786

I posted links to Frank Zappa on Crossfire back in the 80s (must-see stuff).

Anyway, back to "Madge," is that a 70s porn star look or WHAT? The only thing missing are the tasselled white roller-boogie skates and the blue backlights.

1. YES, it's a fantastic take on that look, isn't it? The whole emsemble is
sooooo cool....

None of the actors are mannequin chic, they just look like ordinary people, and can they DANCE.

LOVE the video, LOVE the song.

She's still got it.

2. She looks younger and/or sexier than most of the A-list 20-somethings.
Perhaps it helps not having plastic surgery while still in high school. :+

3. lol yeah, having it last year instead really helped.
Whoops, did I let the cat out of the bag?

I don't knock well done plastic surgery, she looks fantastic, and always has.

4. Nice way to make me feel old...

Of *course* it's 70's style. Her tune is a blatant ABBA sample ripoff.

Of course, it's cool to see Le Parkour in videos. Fun sport.

Edit: Parkour

5. That's what Gwen Stefani is *trying* to do. I'm so impressed with Madge.

I mean, I don't know if she's had plastic surgery, and it doesn't matter.

It's nice to see a woman who's a woman and not a woman trying to be a teenager.

Her body looks great, the music is awesome (even if it is a sample) and reminds me of a gritty 70s/80s, and the hook is catchy. As usual, the lyrics aren't...Bono level say, but they've never been and it works for her. The humping the stereo thing is a bit much, but that's her usual thing.

Considering she's pushing 50 and can turn it out like that--good for her. A+ .
