Cover vs. Original

American Pie


No long discussion: We don't have to talk about Madonnas version of American Pie. She can't make it to create the same atmosphere with this song as Don McLean did 30 years ago. In may opinion also the voice of a man fits much better to this song. It is a folk song for the campfire and not a song for Madonna, the Queen of Pop.
Or do you have another opinion?

When I heard that Madonna had covered this song, I thought it would have to be horrific. But, bizarrely enough, her version is much less terrible than I expected. I actually kind of like it.

What the ...? Some idiot out there actually voted for Madonna?? Even Madonna wouldn't vote for Madonna..

Madonna's version is missing just one thing: Her tongue on my butthole.

Its "But February made me shiver" dumbass. I heard while eating at TGI Fridays and had to go to the bathroom and throw up. Madonnas version is god awful

I hope everyone's heard the (Bob Rivers, I think) parody, "Oh, why did Madonna kill American Pie?"
- Matthew, Ottawa, Canada, 06.12.2007
Madonna straddled this song and pissed all over it, all for the sake of having something to add to a shitty vanity project of a film. Boo.

Don is the best !!!! Madonna destroys one of the best songs ever !!! Shame on you Madonna !!!!!!
- Robert Minnebo, Dendermonde, Belgium, 03.11.2007
I would put even the Brady Bunch's washed out, white-bread cover of "American Pie" ahead of Madonna's verson.
