Simply one of the best songs from the decade we know as the 1980's, Madonna's "Into the Groove" first played on airwaves in the summer of 1985 when she made her big Hollywood screen debut in the cult classic "Desperately Seeking Susan." The song, which was played twice in the film (scene at club where Madonna meets Gary Glass and the end credits) became one of that decades best anthems. Now for the first time many Madonna fans in the USA can listen to the original version, which is not available on any of her albums ("You Can Dance" has a terrible remixed version and "The Immaculate Collection" has a short, radio edit version.

This imported maxi-single also contains another of Madonna's earliest hits "Everybody" as well as "Shoo-Be-Do" which is a song found on her "Like a Virgin" album. My main reason in getting this single was for "Into the Groove," because it provides me great memories of it playing from my radio during the long hot summers in New York City. Nostalgic to an extent, "Into the Groove" still remains a classic Madonna song.

This UK CD single contains the original Into The Groove version which does not appear in any album, except the European version of Like A Virgin. This single is a must have for any Madonna fan's collection. Besides the memorable 80's hit, Into The Groove, you get Shoo-Be-Doo, aother wonderful Madonna bubble-gum tune, and Everybody, another dance song, in it's entire version. Buy this single, it is totally worth it !

This CD single is a MUST have for every Madonna fan. It features the original version of "Into The Groove" before it was destroyed by those God-awful 80's remixes. Don't get me wrong, those remixes can stand alone, and have their own admirable trademarks. But there is a saying about not messing with perfection, and the original version of "Into The Groove", is pure 80's dance perfection. Every Madonna fan should own this version of this song. As an aside, you also get to hear the original "Everybody".

With these songs, Madonna gained stardom! One of her best singles. I recommend getting it because it rocks!!!!

1. Into The Groove - Fun song to dance to. 5 stars.

2. Everybody - One of Madonna's oldies (but goodies). 4 stars.

3. Shoo-Bee-Doo - Madonna got "into the groove." 4 1/2 stars

This movie(Desperatly Seeking Susan)was off the hook. I saw it when I was 10. But enough about the movie. This song exemplifies everything about 80's pop. Then you have Madonna's very first solo single "Everybody" which was a sure club hit. This single will take you back in the day for sure. It is extremely enjoyable and great to dance to. I hope you have fun listening to it just like I do!!

With the release of her seventh single in the UK, Madonna would finally get her first No.1. The song was Into The Groove and spent four weeks atop the UK singles chart in July 1985. The song has, like many of Madonna's 1980's hits, gone on to become a true classic. The song spent 14 weeks on the chart in the UK and, while not as successful in the US, is loved by most Madonna fans as one of her biggest and catchiest pop hits.

Into The Groove begins with a very bouncy and catchy beat that runs the length of the song. It is more dominant at the beginning of the song becoming more quiet as the song progresses, but it is always there reminding you why you love the song so much and why you never grow tired of hearing it. Madonna then begins her singing with the chorus. This makes a change for usual Madonna songs which begins with the verse, then go onto the chorus. There are a few verses in this song which begin differently, but end the same. The first verse is "Music can be such a revelation, dancing around you feel a sweet sensation. We might be lovers if rhythm's right, I hope this feeling never ends tonight. Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free. At night, I lock the doors where no one else can see. I'm tired of dancing here all by myself, tonight I wanna dance with someone else!" The lyrics are very simple and fun - the type that usually make Madonna's big hits. Examples of this are Material Girl and Like A Virgin. Both were massive hits and have such simple lyrics and joyous melodies that make them become classics. The choruses swing by, as do the verses and a funky piano solo that enhances the quality of the song. The song then gradually fades out leaving the listener with a sense of fulfilment and joy that forces you to press the 'repeat' button on your CD player.

Into The Groove was a massive hit and was taken from Madonna's debut acting performance in the smash hit comedy Desperately Seeking Susan. Therefore, the video to the song features clips of Madonna in the film acting wild, causing a stir amongst whoever she encounters and generally enjoying herself partying at clubs. The video reflects the mood of the song in every way. And for this, we are grateful that Madonna produced such a fantastic song - a true club classic that, even now in its classic status, will continue to capture the hearts and souls of millions who encounter it - just like Madonna does.

I HAVE THIS RECORD, IT ROCKS I DONT PLAY IT NO MORE. ITS FRAMED ON MY ROOM WALL. BUT ITS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL MADONNAS TRUE FANS. BUY IT.....

There is an exploration of the existential in Madonna's work now that shows a definitive maturity. I think that the ability that sets Madonna apart the most is not simply being someone who manipulates media well but in truth two things: One, she's not a big fan of TV or indulging in the media, beign a puppet to it in watching it. Two, Marianne Williamson talks about that people who become legends do so because they tap into the concept of what the human consciousness is available to, needing to develop and that rings within all of us. It is that work that interests the rest of us.
