hung up on spinning around

kylie minogue might have madonna to thank (at least in part) for her global success in 2001. after madonna wore a kylie t-shirt on the european mtv vma’s, minogue saw her latest single, “can’t get you out of my head,” become her biggest hit in the states - surpassing even “the locomotion.”

madonna’s brand new video, “hung up,” is obviously in demand. in every other country on the planet, it’s the same for kylie…. and as madonna knows, hardly anyone in america has ever seen kylie’s immensely popular video for “spinning around,” (because that song, released in 2000, came before kylie’s u.s. comeback). as a result, madonna is free to rape and pillage as she sees fit. at the climax of the “hung up” video, madge convinces the crowd to participate in a synchronized disco-inspired romp. the results are so very…. kylie.
