@@priskruger314 I don't know if you meant that ironically or not. I hope you did, but if not, I wonder how you could have listened to all of Don McClean's original verses or the chorus that keeps ending on "this will be the day that I die" and think it sounds too upbeat. McClean's song deconstructed US nationalist mythology; Madonna's version just tries to reconstruct it in a more culturally liberal way.
@@globalhumanism we heard it in the film Finch, painfully beautiful and sad Tom Hanks film, and yeah it flew over our heads and we felt it was happy and that the Madonna version had a heavier mood, sound productionwise. But because of your explanation we'll give the original a listen w the lyrics again and more thoughtfully. Thanks for explaining!
Honestly I like this just as much as the other one personally I would love her to sing the whole song but she sang this great just like shes done with other covers.
I feel I might be in a minority here but I think both the Original by Don McLean and this cover rendition by Madonna are great in their own ways, and both manage to touch me deeply. To me, both covers are an example in the shift of tones and context between two perspectives. The Original by Don McLean is a somber lament of the loss of music artists and a time of turmoil, uncertainty, heartache and the whirlwind of emotion in a more troubled and less hopeful era... the day that the music 'died'. And how that day had crushed the hopeful idealism and laid bare the tearful angst and anguished rage of a soul who's icons had fallen in a time that seemed unbearably dark, and thus despaired from it. Madiona's cover meanwhile feels like a soul who saw that disquieting uncertain day of deafening silence and though a reverent desire wishing to preserve the works and messages of those fading or lost artists in that troubled time: to rekindle the hopes, feelings and wounder of that music to the lamenting, despairing and embittered hearts and touch those weary souls through song, much the way those who before them had touched souls of the people before. The torch passed and held aloft as a beacon; signalling the unwavering triumph of the beauty and resonance of music. The music that once died; revived in defiance of silence and passed on in hallowed memory. These two renditions placed side by side..... to me are the most emotionally powerful and moving in my mind. And I am not ashamed to confess: I am moved to tears by both covers of American Pie.
I love this song it reminds me of my Childhood and not too many songs do these days, but this is a classic to me, thank you for posting this on youtube. I greatly appreciate what you did. :)
Iv listened to Don's version since i was a child and this is the first time im listening to Madonna's and i like the fact she's put her own twist and mark on things and its great, but it's got to be Don's for me as its a childhood memory! :)
understood. i have those to, but my sons get this, & it helps them love the org better ;-) & of course they heard Madonna 1st but they hear a lot of remakes & i can show the the org & they have always had a great love for all types of music just wanted to give another out look on this is all :-) ps my kids r 18 & 16 :-)
Its Jamie Davies I'm from the UK I'm 26 years old can you tell me again please that there's more than 100s of billions people all over the world that love living on their own and love having their own independence and love having their own space too just the same as me please reply back yes Deffo that's true please Angie Mcclellan mate. Take care I hope your 2 sons are ok Angie mate.
I can't understand how people find this 'better' than the original. The original song had a meaning, the most powerful thing about it were the lyrics. This is just some cover made for people who can't understand true meaning in a song. This doesn't contain any of the sadness the original song had, it's actually totally emotionless.. I can live with the fact that people like techno-sounding music over guitars etc, but this cover is in no way 'better' than the original.
The original lyrics have more story to it, and of course it's original, and a tour de force. Madonna version is a very fruity and shorter version, but sweet.
I know it's blasphemy but I like this version better than the original. It has the 3 verses that I actually like, and it omits the verses I don't really care for.
I like madonna (I love her song,"like a prayer")but this songs makes me wish this"was the day I that i die"if you know what I mean. It takes the emotion out of the song.
@@ellengulinski7188 in time, perhaps today, you will realize you were raised in a culturally shallow ass environment, surrounded by shallow ass pop music. The era in which the original was written and released was much deeper and had so much more artistic integrity.
I sang this song on Singsnap. Was surprised at how it came out. But I do like it very much. Never heard Madonna's version. I have no complaints. I do like it.
This song's like marmite (if you're British you'll get that)! But most people hate it. I love it, it's get an eerie background to it, and I also love the original. Do the lyrics have a second meaning, or are they just about discovering someone you love has another lover?
Muito boa versão Se puderem vão ver. ...... American Pie-Don McLean(tradução) ..... aí vão ler sobre esta música e aprenderão um pouco mais o seu significado(sobre 3 pessoas que morreram)
Bye bye miss American pie, Drove my Eren to the Levi But the Levi was dry ! And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye, Singing this will be the day Titans diiie ! This will be the day Titans diiie... :D
It's not a bad cover; I liked her take on it, and it got the song more attention. No one claimed it was better than Don McLean's. And for all of you who hate it...what, you just accidentally mashed your keys into the address bar and stumbled onto this video?
I love Madonna!!this song's all word singing too do now!! I have a sic. but ok!! I so only..,not have a frend’s everybody's said's to me「are you crazy!! don't call for me!!& a don't need's you!!」first time's a very very shocking..so don't stoping's a cry..But so now on don't cry.I love music!!Very Love a Madonna!!Madonna live in japan everytime's going's!!! oh! sorry? I can't speaking English...But evrytime's eveyday's Madonna song's singing's !!ok? I Love darling!! ok? see you..
To all the neg. comments....She was tryin to reach the young audience about a tragedy that occurred 57 years ago... Don Mclean loved it and that's ALL THAT MATTERS.
"The day the music died" refers - of course - to Buddy Holly's untimely death on 3 February 1959, which McLean mourns as the end of the entire 50s era. The song refers to so much more than that " Look it up" You'll be intrigued if you are a lyric lover..
madonnannodam what tragedy? Because I always saw it as a song about youth and loosing the grip on it. I would love to learn something new so if anyone could share it with me that would be great.
@Paul Doherty: Obviously not from the many favorable comments....just don’t count me among those. Are u even remotely familiar with the original? Were u around when it was being played on the radio or do u know it only as a classic rock oldie?
Who wishes that in addition to the original "American Pie" covered by Madonna in this style, she could have also done an identical cover of Weird Al's "The Saga Begins"?
Well long since has Madonna been the Queen of self expression. This is why I love 💜 Her. She's always been a Rebel (some may say without a cause) James Dean anyone? I too am the same. Rules? Shit that and throw the rulebook out the window. Who sodding well cares???!!! My rebelliousness stems from my childhood and fanatical Jehovah's Witnesses telling me , forcing me into things I really didn't want to do. Is why I have such an issue now as an adult with people telling me the hell what and what not to do. Madonna, she doesn't give a damn and that's why I love Her. She does the hell what she wants and sod the rest!!! Anyway.......
She's a Diva hmmm 🤔 reminds me a little of someone. Do you know a true Diva has to have suffered in Life? Yes then she has some kind of breakdown, like Mariah Carey. I love Mariah Carey too! 💋💋💋
I don't think this song was as bad as a lot of people made it out to be but I agree it isn't anywhere near as good as Don McLean's version, I find this song to be one of the most interesting songs I've ever heard because of the hatred it seems to get and therefore it's one of the most interesting songs to talk about.
Ok the good thing about the original was how it had a timeless feel to it. Reflecting on the deaths of 3 American rock starts. You could pick up a guitar and play it anytime but this version seems to a little to happy and way its technically enhance it kinda misses the symbolism of the original

This version is bland as hell. Boo madonna ya suck bitch
good job !!
I like it

I sang this song on Singsnap. Was surprised at how it came out. But I do like it very much. Never heard Madonna's version. I have no complaints. I do like it.
I always thought the lyrics sounded sad...
Even though I prefer the original, I really like Madonna's version - but only the song, because her music video was not that good.
after reading all these 125 comments, I seem to be the only one who likes Madonna's song AND Don Mclean's!
ชอบมากเลย

good!
Sempre que lembro dos filmes american pie, vem a mente essa música, embora eu saiba que a musica cover saiu um ano depois do primeiro filme😅

They are about the day Buddy Holly died....the day the music died

I love you madonna
That's basically the modern version of Don McLean's version of American Pie IMHO.
My only concern for this version is that it does not have all the verses.
@AlexPwnsYou22 actually, its more of an electronic trance song..simply because Madonna is attatched to it doesnt mean it's pop
Bye bye miss American pie,
