I have the original song by Don Mc Lean, I just wanted the one by Madonna. If you're going to be so nasty about it, just don't answer.

"American Pie" was covered by American singer Madonna for the soundtrack to the film The Next Best Thing. The cover was co-produced by Madonna and William Orbit, after Rupert Everett (Madonna's co-star in The Next Best Thing) had convinced her to cover the song for the film's soundtrack. Her version of the song is shorter than the original, and contains influences of dance music.

It was released as the soundtrack's first and only single in February 2000 (see 2000 in music) and was a number-one hit in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy and Finland. The single was not released commercially in the United States, but it reached number twenty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 due to strong radio airplay. "American Pie" was included as a bonus track on all non-U.S. editions of Madonna's album Music, released later in 2000. According to Madonna, she was talked into adding the song to the album by an executive at Warner Brothers Records.

Remixes of the song were produced by Richard "Humpty" Vission and Victor Calderone. The single's video, directed by Philip Stolzl, features Madonna dancing in front of a large American flag. Shots of interracial families standing together for a family portrait, lesbians embracing, and a gay male couple kissing are shown in between shots of Madonna. Rupert Everett makes a cameo appearance in the video, with Madonna sitting on his lap.

On what planet do AC/DC, Queen and Motorhead no longer have an entire catalogue of great albums? Yeah, each band might have a pair of stinkers in there, yet so do Metallica (Reload, St. Anger, Metallica), Iron Maiden (each album with Blaze Bayley and each thing after courageous New international) and a ton of alternative bands yet for the Bon Scott years, AC/DC does not have one music that i might evaluate filler. Compound that with the incontrovertible fact that they have got on no account released a excellent hits album (Who Made Who and Iron guy are soundtracks) and that i've got not any clue the place you're getting your suggestion from. Their prestige isn't "mythical", it quite is mythical. No quotations mandatory. very virtually each album interior the 80's (Ace Of Spades, Overkill, Rock N' Roll, Orgasmatron, Bomber, 1916) a pair of the ninety's (Bastards, Sacrifice, in one day Sensation) and all of the 2000s albums from Motorhead have been marvelous to great and that i shouldn't even might desire to look after the output of Queen. If all you like is "Innuendo" and the "excellent hits" then they are quite no longer the band for you. As to bands extra helpful served by employing excellent hits: corridor & Oates John Mellencamp Foreigner undesirable employer Def Leppard MQ2 - i do no longer purchase e-singles or MP3. Having a excellent hits album with 10 songs on it does not make you excellent, it is all the physique of artwork that makes you excellent. think of roughly what may be on a excellent Hits CD for Metallica; Unforgiven a million-12, no longer something Else concerns, One, enter Sandman, Hero Of The Day, gas and reminiscence remains. Is that particularly indicative of their artwork?

It must have been on a crap album, as the original song was a much better song! Give yourself a treat and listen to the original!
