Madonna – Frozen
7th March 1997
I always preferred this to Music and Ray of Light. In fact I think it was the first Madge song I ever really liked, as I knew very little about any music from earlier than 1996 at the time. Due to this lack of knowledge I had no idea when this was released that Madonna was actually a poptastic disco queen, I just thought she was a lady the age of my mum who was really famous for some reason and had released this lovely song. I was also very confused by her having black hair in the video but blonde hair in photographs.
I remember singing along to it (particularly the “ooooh if I could melt your heart” bit, which I love) on the chart show each Sunday, back in the days when missing it was the end of the world, using my Smash Hits or Top of the Pops song lyrics. I still have every single page or card of lyrics I got from those magazines, as I spent ages filing them (a bit pointless nowadays with lyrics so easy available online) and now I can’t bear to throw them away.
