One of Madonna’s most-loved songs has a secret link to Liverpool.
Hung Up, from the American singer’s 10th studio album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, was created after one of the co-writers spent the night in Liverpool DJing. In an interview with Music Week, Stuart Price revealed : “how a night on the M1, a chance Radio 2 play and a handwritten note saw the Material Girl sample ABBA’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!”.
Stuart recalled how through a former work colleague he managed to secure a spot in Madonna’s band as a keyboard player. This connection gave him the opportunity to work with the singer and help remix some of her already existing songs.
