Is this Madonna's most cringeworthy song to date?

And even if Rihanna or Gaga released this I'd still think it would qualify in the "cringe" category, so it's not necessary an ageist thing towards Madonna..
But seriously!?
"SEX"

"Let me get on top, oh my god, soaking wet, back and forth til we break the bed!"
"I'm an open book, I'll let you come inside of me"
What the!?

It will never make her top 10..... but still, not bad.
I've followed her since I can remember and go every tour without fail but I find it cringeworthy. I also found JImmy Jimmy, Candy Shop, GMAYL and plenty more cringeworthy. I'm not enough of a blind fan to agree that everything she does is absolutely perfect.
I think this record will be up there with the very best in her career based on the demos if she chooses which tracks to include carefully. I just hope and pray that crap like SEX and Holy Water don't get the nod ahead of outstanding tracks like Inside Out, Messiah, Graffiti Heart and Tragic Girl
She released that metal-covered Sex book almost 25 years ago. When she was still fit.
Personally I'd only go for it if I had access to a time machine and could go back and do the deed when she didn't look like someone's granny at the Rocky Horror Show.
Madonna is still very fit! When does a person become too old for sex? I guess you don't have sex anymore!
This song is an unfinished demo that may not even be on her new album so I think it's a little unfair to judge it.
I like songs like Inside Out, Messiah etc that you named are great but I think the album might be a little boring if she just included songs like that. The whole concept of the album is that it has poppy less serious in your face probably sexual songs (that's the Rebel part) and more heartfelt introspective ballads (Heart part). So there are going to be some fun slightly sexual songs I think. I think calling songs like you mentioned cringeworthy is kind of missing the point. You aren't supposed to take them too seriously. Madonna is in on the joke. It's nice to listen to her ballads and more serious stuff but there's also a part of her that's more fun loving, dancey and sexual. Both of those are part of her music. She has always had both and I hope she will continue to do so. So to say you just want serious songs and fun poppy sexual songs is cringeworthy is sort of missing a part of who she is as a singer and a performer.
So people who are parents can never do sexual things in their work? What about actresses and actors who do sex scenes in movies? Why does everyone want to ban sex from music? Sex is a part of life. Almost all of us have it at some point. I don't see why people can't write songs about it. It's only shocking if you think having or enjoying sex is somehow shameful.
I still cannot wait for Rebel Heart though - I need that album so badly.
About five albums ago.
I agree,I think she'd be really selling herself short by putting this on the album. It isn't a patch on some of the other demos and I'd be disappointed if she put it on 'for a joke' or to raise some eyebrows when she has genuinely outstanding demos that are far more worthy of a place
I agree. Of all the things to get mad at Madonna over this seems lame. Sex has always been who she is and just because she is now older why should she stop? Its honestly just a fun song and I don't think it would be out of place on Rebel Heart purely because most of it sounds retrospective. So Madonna's sexual presence has to be represented in some shape or form. Like she sings on the title track, she does things like this to provoke
I honestly hope she is still flashing her tits and singing about sex when she is 90! I love it. :kitty:
19 tracks are going on this album, a record for M, so not everyone will be happy with all the songs there.
I thought it was going to burst into 'lets talk about sex' at the beginning ... because it has that old skool sound ... and is all the better for it.
Is she breaking barriers .... no ...she is the lone voice and image battling against female chauvinism and agesim ...will she win this battle? .. i suspect no....she is a trailblazer... just like she was for the rights of homosexuality; aids/hiv; teenage pregnancy/religious prejudice, racism and equal rights for women, anti- war and anti americanism.......all actioned against popular opinion at the time...
it seems most people today feel that everyone is over the hill over the age of 30.... and Madonna is always referred to with regards to her age now in the press....or by social media ....whereas I say be true to yourself and be happy in your own skin .... and perhaps Madonna is more aligned to this message ....'open your heart' ..
Why are you uploading stolen tracks?
ROFL Oh dear!
Why is this funny? You are linking to stolen, unreleased work. Would u like it if someone did that with something you created? You are just an accessory. Nothing more than a common theif..with less morals.
It's times like this when I really miss the eye-roll... This will have to do ->
Back to the track though. It's a demo which was never meant to be heard so it's hardly fair to criticise. Had she have released it as a single then I could understand some of the comments above, but it isn't and wasn't. I personally don't mind it
