Madonna - Hung Up (2005)

** (of four)

A few weeks ago, I dozed off during an episode of "In Living Color," and I dreamed that Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriwether were reviewing this video for "Men On Videos." They both snapped, "Hated It!" and Antoine said, "Who wants to see some old heifer showing her flabby ass? Madonna, girl, even Cher knew how to cover it up sometimes." Then I woke up.

Madonna still attempts to retain what little sexiness she has left by wearing a leotard and gyrating around. The "Hung Up" video features all kinds of dancers flitting about the streets of South Central LA, and a restaurant and converge together in some big dance off. It's like a gay version of You Got Served.

The song itself has a retro disco feel to it, and it seems like Madonna just wants to have fun again after the ponderous American Life album. Hated It!
