I mean... both songs that blocked Causing a Commotion are more remembered. I think hardly anybody who did not grow up in the 80s or is a die hard Madge fan actually knows the song. :emma:

FYI: some singles were supposed to be released but scrapped last minute. "Where's The Party" was originally the final single from True Blue but they moved ahead to The Who's That Girl Soundtrack. "Can't Stop" was considered a single from that sountrack but dropped. "Over and Over" was a scrapped single from Like A Virgin. "Now Im Following You" and "Sooner or Later" were planned singles to Im Breathless but Vogue from TIC was rushed instead. ...just some little fun facts.

Sis, Bad I get it (even though its very forgettable for a MJ song), but the other one I've never even heard about before :oprah:

Over and Over ended up as a Japanese promo single tho.

But I didn't know about Where's The Party and Now I'm Following You so thank you :happy:

Yeah, I heard it a while ago as a little teaser b4 I listen to Like A Virgin and it's such a fun song, I would've loved it as a single :happy: 

This is reminding me to do a Madonna single choices thread I though about a while ago

I have actually heard the other one on the radio quite regularly and I'm familiar with it. (Also it got used as a lip-sync song on Drag Race some years ago :laughga:

When it comes to Madonna hits and classics from the 80s... Causing A Commotion wouldn't have even crossed my mind. Even if you compare YouTube views now, I Think We're Alone Now has 26 Million while the most viewed video of Causing A Commotion has barely crossed 800k.

FYI fun facts part 2!  Some other songs that were planned singles in the USA but scrapped (there are probably more but these are ones I KNOW of)...

Waiting from Erotica

Dont Stop from Bedtime Stories (yikes lol)

Skin from Ray Of Light (it was a planned single when it had a different title.  Skin wasn't the original name) 

Impressive Instant from Music. Amazing from Music (although some rare copies of this can be found). 

Mother And Father from American Life. 

I Love New York from Confessions (lol)

Beat Goes On and Candy Shop from Hard Candy

Superstar from MDNA   Madonna also wanted Falling Free as a single but it was denied.

I Think We're Alone Now was originally a hit in the 1960's, Tiffany covered it and it was a HUGE hit for her.  She had a few other hits before fading away.....
