Madonna - Hung Up
Just saw the video for Madonna's atrocious Hung Up - it rocks!
I've been wondering when this would happen for the first time: when an artist would release a song which would make no sense, whatsoever (i.e. have no merit) without the accompanying video.
Within years all pop music will be recorded inextricably linked to a video concept.
It is already happening (J-Lo had a song in which she breathed 'I need to dance now' at the start of a bridge - clearly the song was written to allow for a choreographed dance number in the video). But how long before nothing less will sell?
