Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
I've recently discovered a record by Tempest Trio from 1980(one of Mike Theodore & Dennis Coffey's projects) called 'Starlight' (some of u guyz are probably familiar with this track) which I really like & couldn't help notice how familiar the lyrics are. There is a line that goes 'starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight'. I think we can see where Maddy got her 'inspiration' for 'Lucky Star' can't we? :roll: How many times has she ripped off people but never given any credit to them? Oh well, I s'pose nothing's truly original & it could always be a coincidence couldn't it? :-?

Hi Steely,
That sentence is taken from a children's rhyme/prayer:
Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight.
Wish I may, wish I might,
Make this wish come true tonight.
<Child makes silent wish here :) , then says>
Amen.
I don't think we can crucify Madonna on this one. :D

Oh Nicky, what a complete pilchard I feel now. :oops: Thanks for enlightening moi on that; I'd not come across that rhyme b4, & don't anyone dare say its because it's so long since I was a child or i'll slap you silly!

Sandra: hard to believe you didn't recognize where Madonna got the idea for the "Starlight, starbright" lyric! I seem to recall hearing that one in kindergarden! On a similar subject, I also recall a children's nursery rhyme being re-used in the vocal arrangement for Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's "I Wonder If I Take You Home" but I can't quite remember which nursery rhyme it was. Maybe if someone listens to the song on YouTube you'll remember the rhyme.

Blimey, that's an old thread you've dug up, I can't even remember it! Sorry, I was never big on nursery rhymes!

To be fair to Sandy, I am big on nursery rhymes - in that not only did I remember them all from when I was a child, I have two daughters who I recite them with. This particular nursery rhyme has never crossed my radar, so I assume it must be a popular one in the USA that hasn't really "crossed the pond".
In fact, despite the fact I have had a copy of the Tempest Trio LP in my collection for a while, I had never made the lyric association with Madonna! From that LP check out "Last call for love" and "Love machine".

Thanx for defending my honour darren! For a moment I thought I was following in George Michael's & Freddie Mercury's footsteps & losing all respect in the US!

I actually like this version better than Madonna's. I hope she revisits some of her old funky bass sounds on the new cd.Originally Written by Josh_Gray
Have you heard this new cut (do they intentionally leak these nowadays?) What would you call the style? Girlie-Industrial-Lite? A no-frills Erotica? Something Madonna overheard in a German sex club?
