Week 65: Madonna Week! #4 - Into The Groove 

If you weren’t alive in the 80’s you have no idea how huge this was. Best time ever!

The song is from the film Desperately Seeking Susan, so the video shows clips from the movie.

I hope you do a Madonna week 2. She has sooooo many huge hits from not only the 80’s but also the 90’s and 00’s. In the USA her first top 10 hit was on 1984 and her last was in 2012. She has a total of 38 top 10 hits and 12 no.1 hits. She is also the highest selling female recording artist of all time selling 350 million records

This song along with I wanna dance with somebody is the epitome of female pop of the 80s for me

that bassline slaps

Desperately Seeking Susan is one of my fave films. I wanted Madonna's black and diamante boots so badly!

The video is comprised of clips from her first headlining film, Desperately Seeking Susan. A must see, directed by Susan Seidelman. Clubs were dark, without windows and a lot clandestine

This was the theme song for the movie Desparatet Seekign Susan, that Madonna was in. It was a pretty good film that was seen nominated for an Oscar.

Yes...the 80s is very unique: style, fashion, músic and videoclips we can still apreciate even in 2023 +...

WOW, the bass and lead guitarist's are Outstanding, true professionals.

The arm pit hand dryer bit is one of the most iconic moments in this film. You noticed too😘

I was dancing to this song in a club back in the 80s, and yes, there's smoke machine and people smoking cigarettes, it was disgusting, the first thing you do when you get home is to take a shower and get that rank out of you. It's the theme song from Madonna's first movie, "Desperately Seeking Susan". A fun movie worth watching if not for anything, as a time capsule of NYC in the 80's, Madonna practically played herself "the cool bohemian 80's chick from New York. This song is a definite bop, part of the "Like a Virgin" era, even if the song wasn't included in the US release. It's an amazing song to dance to 38 years later. Please please please do another Madonna week, you will not regret it. 🙏 I have suggestions if you want 😀

In this movie Madonna took one of the very first SELFIES on film. It's 'Desperately Seeking Susan' - go watch it. It's a good popcorn 80s flick. She's so ahead of her time.

Believe me in 30 years, the young folk will talk about how disgusting this generation is to vape. Things seem normal when you're in the Era. Great song! When this song played, everyone danced.

You guys are entertaining! Haha! Your reactions are/appear natural! Keep doing Madonna reviews - the humour, shock, and fun is very much appreciated. x

Scenes are from movie she's also in, 'Desperately Seeking Susan'

And just like that, I am dancing Madonna ❤❤❤

Best dance song of the 80's no contest. Even Billboard magazine backs me up. I still eat and smoke in bed and in public places(many ways to do that without being treated like a criminal cause yr smoking a fucking cigarette!!?). This song still trumps any dance song out there today more than 30 years after its release. It's a timeless masterpiece. Bitch she's Madonna! From the brilliant movie Desperately Seeking Susan from 1985 starring a pretty unknown Madonna(basically playing herself). It was during the making of this movie that the worldwide Madonna madness and mania hit like a nuclear bomb. Within a year of this she was the most famous woman in the world and the rest is history. Into the Groove was recorded and used in the movie and the song blew up all around the world after that. It was only the b-side to the Angel single off Madonna's Like a Virgin album so it was never "officially" released in America as a single. But after the song went to number one all around the world(and became a dance club phenomenon and staple in America and every dance club on earth) the song was played in heavy rotation on American radio and because of its incredible success it has always been considered as an official Madonna single. Since then it has been included as an official track on later pressings of the Like a Virgin album(which sold almost 30 million copies). Watch Desperately Seeking Susan-it perfectly captures and evokes the don't give a fuck, free, gritty and multi cultural melting pot that NY was in the 80's. It is a great film. J

As an 80’s kid I would totally watch a Madonna deep dive if you guys did it.

Madonna is luxury ❤🇧🇷

Her other movie track, Whose That Girl is one of my favorites after this one. Odds are one of your local clubs has an 80s night. Mine has one every friday, and they play this track very often haha

More Madonna I recommend: Vogue, Secret, Open Your Heart, You'll See, Human Nature, Erotica, The Power of Goodbye, Bedtime Story, Justify My Love, Bad Girl.

From the movie desperately seeking Susan and you definitely should watch it it's so awesome! A slice of New York Life in the early 80s. Also, since you mentioned pop music culture class, did you know that in the 90s there were a few universities that taught class on madonna? OMG I wish I would have been in that class easy a LOL

Desperately Seeking Susan!!!! How is it that you have not seen this... Wait. Yeah generation difference. Great movie. Cigarette smoking in clubs was banned when I was in my early 20's... To even think how much smoke we inhaled... sheesh.

We smoke in the clubs wile dancing Madona😀

The other young blonde is Roseanna Arquette, David Arquette's(Scream) and Oscar winner Patricia Arquette(Boyhood) sibling. The guy playing Madonna's(Susan's) bf who is sitting next to her in the movie theater, walking up the ladder, and by the pinball machine is Canadian actor Robert Joy best known as a medical examiner for the CSI:NY series. The evil character with the yellowish hair can be seen in The Punisher film with John Travolta. Sadly the older man in the club and who fell in the hot tub full of girls (character name Gary Glass) #RIP

Lo amo 😍😍😍 gracias por su análisis a estos legendarios videos

I hope your number 1 video for Madonna is “Crazy for You”!

Yeah, it's from the movie Desperately Seeking Susan starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, so yeah the video's a bunch of movie clips.

The three best Madonna videos: *Bedtime Stories* - *Don't Tell Me* - and the song *Music*

You guys need to react to Justify my Love😏

Dance song of the decade Madonna Into the groove. You may react to her Vogue video(90s).

Yeah this is from the awesome movie Desperately Seeking Susan which was one of Madonna’s first starring movie roles

Thanx guys. This was a pleasure to watch. I hope you'll react to every Madonna music video.

Yaaay, finally!

Madonna has so many iconic videos, here's a few for you to watch in week 2: Papa Don't Preach, Express Yourself, Justify My Love, Frozen and Don't Tell Me

Pretty good movie,

Love song... Amazing video and film...history pop... Xp

You guys should listen to the remix of this song from the You can Dance LP then you will hear her different vocals. Her harmonies on the bridge are everything.

Well, this was from Desperately Seeking Susan obviously!!!!

Interesting how at 7:12 it jumps from #4 to #3... 😉

Yeah I was smoking in clubs since the early 90’s when I was a kid growing up and especially in 96/97 when I started smoking regularly and getting high and drinking

Its not an official video (you don't see her singing) per se. It was a compilation of scenes from the movie Desperately Seeking Susan (which starred Madonna of course) to accompany the movie. Its a great movie. Definitely see it

Yep, it is from the movie 'Desperately seeking Susan' which wasn't a great film but the soundtrack was :D

Please react to "Hanky Panky" by Madonna (the live version in Nice from her "Blonde Ambition" tour)! 👍💯🔥 One of her best songs, IMO! It's like a hidden gem (you only find digging deep, so most people don't even know it).

When I started clubbing, people could still smoke in clubs. You’d often get burned on the dance floor - sometimes a shirt would end up with a hole in it. I’d always want a shower when I got home, as I’d stink of smoke (I’m a non-smoker). Those were the days…

such an early song of hers. The movie "suddenly susan"

Oh, there is absolutely no reason to ruin this show with research. 😂 ❤

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yep, Smoking was allowed back then, not only in Clubs, but also in airplanes, movie theaters (Believe it or not) and even in Banks. Like a teller at the bank could have a cigarette in his mouth while servicing you, and that was perfectly ok. Sometimes the smoke would be so dense inside the club would be so bad, people literally had to go out side to catch some fresh air.

no, they used dry ice-type machines (plus cigarette smoke). when you breathed in, it had a weird taste. I can't explain what the taste was like.

Desperately Seeking Susan

Yes this was the beginning of the MTV generation and people were smoking everywhere including hospitals and doctors offices it’s crazy. Also back then no one spent a lot on video until later on. This was from her first movie as well.

In your week 2 please do later 90s and 2000s ray of light hung up ghost town frozen among many others

Its clips from the movie desperately seeking Susan Madonna was in the movie lol

The film, "Desperately seeking Susan", was starring by Aidan Quinn and Rosanna Arquette but Madonna was also in, she was Susan! It's a love comedy, nothing special, but very 80s! I thinkk Madonna didn't smoke, or not much, but for the role of a badass girl she smoked on the screen...in the 80s was normal to smoke everywhere... Funny thing is the scene in the room when after eating and smoking, she laid down on the floor taking SELFIES!!! with a polaroid! she invented the selfies! hahahaha

People smoked everywhere in the 80s and 90s 😊 it was just normal lol

its about the movie. this is all footage from the movie

😄💃🏽

You've only covered 1984-1990. she has so many more great songs and decades!

this is from cult movie Desperately seeking Susan'

What's the no.1???

The smoking ban actually happened right I was legal to smoke which is messed up when you think about it

I’m surprised anyone still leaves comments, because I haven’t seen you take the time to respond to any comments on any video.

🫶🏼

You did not see a lot of things boys !! ..like nobody ever smoke a cigarette after sex in their OWN bed !!!!! LOL And smoke in clubs come from special smoke machine ...and also there was some smokers in the clubs !! LOL

Queen of pop 🔥

This video was based on the film 'Desperately Seeking Susan,' Madonna's breakout film, her performance outshining the lead actress Rosanna Arquette. I really don't have great memories of the 80s because of the conservative politics via the Reagan WH. Otherwise, some aspects of the decade was colorful and fun (e.g. the fashion was gloriously tacky). Best thing from the 80s Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, to name a few. The base in this song is amazing!

Making fun of such a great song she wrote and first time produced and gave a signature to the 80s was such a disrespect to her and her song. Just liked the video for itself not for the reaction. I would like to watch your reactions to the crap being "produced" nowadays.

Best dance song of the 80's no contest. Even Billboard magazine backs me up. I still eat and smoke in bed and in public places(many ways to do that without being treated like a criminal cause yr smoking a fucking cigarette!!?). This song still trumps any dance song out there today more than 30 years after its release. It's a timeless masterpiece. Bitch she's Madonna! From the brilliant movie Desperately Seeking Susan from 1985 starring a pretty unknown Madonna(basically playing herself). It was during the making of this movie that the worldwide Madonna madness and mania hit like a nuclear bomb. Within a year of this she was the most famous woman in the world and the rest is history. Into the Groove was recorded and used in the movie and the song blew up all around the world after that. J
