Pre-stardom recordings 1979–1981

[edit]Solo and with various New York rock bands
No Running In The City and All My Love, appear on a 1979 acoustic solo demo tape alongside early versions of Simon Says, Shine A Light (introduced as Hear Me), Little Boy Lost, Safe Neighbourhood, Love Express, three instrumentals and two takes of an unknown and un-named song. The tape orginates from the post-Breakfast Club / pre-Emmy period when Madonna was recruiting musicians for her own ensemble. The full story of the tape - remarkable as it is performed almost entirely solo with Madonna playing guitar and singing - appears in the March 2009 issue of UK magazine Record Collector.
Born To Be a Dancer, an alternate version of Over & Over, Tell The Truth, and I Got Trouble (Roll Over It) taken from Dan and Ed Gilroy's private tapes (1979). Audio excerpts were made avaliable by Andrew Morton on The Daily Beast news reporting and opinion website in 2009 as "The Gilroys' Lost Madonna Tapes". Another song not made avaliable; Trouble is remembered by Ed Gilroy as the first song Madonna wrote (instead of "Tell The Truth", as Madonna recalls).
(I Like) Love For Tender, No Time for Love, Bells Ringing and Drowning are all featured on Madonna's studio demo tape with the band Emmy and the Emmy's in 1980. Other Emmy tracks such as Simon Says are not included here because they were either live recordings or already legally released on a small indie label. They belong listed on the Madonna discography page. NOTE: A studio version of Simon Says is included on the Shamrock Tape. See below for corrected track listing.
Hothouse Flower; and Simon Says; and I Got Trouble (Roll Over It); and Tell The Truth; and Oh Oh (The Sky Is Blue); and Nobody Wants To Be Alone (Once I Thought I Was Good); and Well Well - early recordings recorded on "Shamrock" reel-to-reel tape. Recently auctioned to private owner. Tell The Truth was allegedly the very first song Madonna ever recorded (with the help of Dan Gilroy of the band the Breakfast Club). In 2005 Madonna sang the chorus of Tell The Truth during an interview with Parkinson on UK TV.
Prisoner; and Head Over Heels; and Get Away; and Call On Me; - possible early recordings from the Emmys era; Those titles are listed on a hand written set-list spotted in some pictures of a 1980/1981 live gig. Those pictures are famous among collectors as being related to the Underground Club performance. There is actually no evidence that Madonna recorded those songs on tape, they could be compositions written and intended just for live concerts; Some audio-tape from rehearsals (featuring those songs) may or may not exist. The existence of these tracks is confirmed as being on the actual set-list. Those Underground Club pictures can be seen in a large number of fan sites' photo-galleries.
We Live In A House Written by Joshua Braun, Janis Galloway and Madonna in 1982. US copyright registration # PAu-1-843-482. It was recorded with the group Spinal Root Gang after Madonna's roommate Janis Galloway introduced her to them. Janis Galloway later became the wife of Michael Rosenblatt from Warner Bros. The song seems to be a social statement about the ignorant masses who remain at home rather than pay attention to the world around them outside. Sample lyric: "We live in a house, and people just don't care. We live in a house, they don't go anywhere." Madonna screams at one point: "You can't come into my house." The guitar sounds are a little like the B-52's meets New Order and the Ramones.
F*** You Right Back and Mother You Swear. Recently auctioned at the Las Vegas Annual Auction Event in the Germain Montgomerry's Auction House. The former is of no connection to the identically-titled 2004 Frankee single release.[citation needed] (Suspicious entry needs supporting documentation, such as link to article, or interview. Said auction house was not located online or in Vegas directory).
[edit]Solo vocal recordings
I'm a Real Disco Queen It has always been reported that Madonna never recorded any demos with '70s French disco king Patrick Hernandez, but it has recently been revealed that she actually recorded this demo. The two Belgian producers of the song, Jean Van Lieu and Jean-Claude Pellerin, both confirmed that Madonna never recorded a single demo while under their management. Patrick Hernandez released the song in 1980 and changed the title to She's a Disco Queen.
I Want You, Love On The Run, Get Up and High Society A Pat Benatar style pop-rock Madonna demo produced under the direction of Madonna's first manager Camille Barbone of August Artists Ltd and Gotham Sound Studios in New York City with guitarist Jon Gordon in 1981. All four of these tracks have leaked on the internet in high quality. Two more songs were recorded at Media Sound Studios but not used on the 1981 demo circulating at the time called Remembering Your Touch and Are You Ready For It which are also reasonably easily available for internet download.
Other songs recorded during this period like "Laugh To Keep From Crying" from the album Pre-Madonna released by Soultone/Sixth Planet or songs for Mia Mind Music like "Shine A Light" and "Cosmic Climb" with Otto von Wernherr have already been legally released on small indie labels and belong listed on the Madonna discography page.
Shake Your Head (Let's Go To Bed) Madonna recorded lead vocal with Don and David for the Was (Not Was) album Born to Laugh at Tornadoes produced in Detroit in 1982-83. The released vocal were by Ozzy Osbourne with backing vocals by Kathy Kosins and Carol Hall. Madonna and John "Jellybean" Benitez are both in the album credits. During a May 2006 Kathy Kosins phone interview with Bruce Baron it was revealed that Ozzy recorded his vocal first. Kathy and Carol added vocals in Detroit. Kathy's vocals were intended to be replaced by Madonna by producer Don Was. Madonna's label Sire Records did not agree to the release and Kathy's vocals were restored for the ZE Records release as a backing track. Kathy then became a longtime Was (not Was) contributor. Madonna originally became involved via her friendship with Stephen Bray and his group The Breakfast Club who were also signed with ZE Records (later acquired by MCA). Madonna requested her original vocal not to be used in an early 1990s remix released as a single in Europe to support a Was (Not Was) Greatest Hits album. Kim Basinger did the new vocals. The '90s remix version with Madonna's vocals leaked onto the internet in April 2008.
Sidewalk Talk Written by Madonna for former producer and boyfriend John "Jellybean" Benitez. The 1983 commercially released version features vocalist Catherine Buchanan on lead vocals and Madonna singing on the chorus and bridge. The original demo version with Madonna on the lead vocal remains unreleased and was produced with Stephen Bray as confirmed by interviews.
[edit]First Decade Recordings 1982–1989

[edit]The First Madonna self-titled debut album
Ain't No Big Deal The released version was produced by Reggie Lucas in 1982 and appeared as the B-side of her "True Blue" single in 1986, though this is an alternate version to the unreleased version mentioned above. Originally intended to be Madonna's first single. Three more separate unreleased studio versions were also produced each by Mark Kamins, Stephen Bray and John "Jellybean" Benitez. They were all shelved by Sire Records when the song was recorded and released in 1983 by the female disco act Barracuda on 12" vinyl Epic Records release 49-04264. Credited as written only by Stephen Bray due to a publisher contract with July 4 Music. It was actually a Madonna co-write so she is understood to have taken sole writing credit for "Everybody" in trade. "Ain't No Big Deal" was included in the US compilation album Revenge of the Killer B's, Vol. 2.
Physical Attraction US copyright registration PAu-484-430 from February 1983 credits words and music created in 1982 only to Madonna as sole author as does April 1983 publisher transfer registration PAu-506-929. Producer Reggie Lucas is not credited as the sole author of this song until 1984 registration PA-210-598 for the 12" commercial single release for the work created and published in 1983 and has been the only credited songwriter since.
Writer's Block Listed in the MCPS-PRS database as being written by Madonna and Rick Warren for the 1984 TV show Cover Up starring Jon Erik-Hexum and Jennifer O'Neill. Richard wrote many TV themes at the time. IMDB.com shows an episode by this name which first aired on 24 November 1984 (Season 1, Episode 7) without crediting either Madonna or Rick Warren.
[edit]The Vision Quest Soundtrack album
Warning Signs The third Madonna song recorded for the soundtrack to the film but never used. It remains unheard by the public to this day. A collaboration with Stephen Bray from 1984, US copyright registration# PAu-590-962. Bray describes it as a cool synth track. The lyric sheet reveals the opening intro as "I see danger up ahead", "Warning (echo), Warning (echo)". Chorus is "Warning I see danger up ahead. I can see it in your eyes, and it's really no surprise. Because, I can see your warning signs". Not too long ago, the complete lyrics of the song leaked.
[edit]The Like a Virgin album
Title uncertain Simon Le Bon of the group Duran Duran mentioned in a mid-1980s interview for the BBC TV show "Breakfast" that Madonna did backing vocals for them that were never released. On Duran Duran's official website in the 'Ask Katy' section the band members denied that Madonna ever recorded backing vocals on any of their tracks.
Desperately Seeking Susan Written by Madonna and Stephen Bray. Unreleased title track for the Orion Pictures movie of the same name according to former Madonna collaborator Stephen Bray from 1999 interview. Another "Desperately Seeking Susan" title song was written by Michael Bramon. "Into the Groove" overshadowed both "Susan" themes and both were shelved.
[edit]The True Blue album
Working My Fingers To The Bone and Pipeline Recorded with frequent collaborator Stephen Bray. Confirmed by 1999 Bray interview in Goldmine Magazine.
Title(s) Unknown - Musician Fred Zarr said in an interview with Mark Bego in the book Blonde Ambition (1992, Harmony Books) that he tried to write 2-3 songs with Madonna around the time of Papa Don't Preach, but they were never finished.
Each Time You Break My Heart Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray. Later given to singer/model Nick Kamen to record instead. His version with Madonna backing vocals was a big hit in Europe (Germany reaching number 1, UK reaching number 5 in November 1986). Madonna's version has since appeared on various file-sharing networks.
Love Over The Phone Written by Madonna and actor Don Johnson. Discussed by Madonna herself in a French and German magazine interview in August 1987. At this time Don Johnson was dating Barbra Streisand, who also was rumoured in the media to have discussed with Madonna the possibility of covering an old standard as a duet.
Title Unknown A song written for Bryan Ferry, as Madonna mentioned in an interview with Denis Taranto. This would coincide with the timeline of Bryan Ferry's work with frequent Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard on the 1987 album Bete Noir. No Madonna contribution was included.
Tell Me Stephen Bray confirmed the existence of this demo were Madonna sings as the lead vocal; later given to Nick Kamen were she sings backing vocals and a solo in the Extended version.
[edit]The Like a Prayer album
Possessive Love Written and recorded with Patrick Leonard, Madonna and Jai Winding. Madonna's original demo was given to singer Marilyn Martin for her to record. The single was released by Atlantic Records in 1988 but did not do very well. ASCAP title code #460268111
Love Attack and First Is A Kiss Two songs Madonna recorded and produced with Stephen Bray but were never used and remain unreleased. In 1989 Madonna talked in a German magazine about First Is A Kiss: It's about the friends she lost because of AIDS. Possibly an early version of "In This Life".
Just A Dream (original Madonna demo) Written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard. Given later to her long-time backing vocalist Donna DeLory for her MCA self-titled debut solo album. Madonna does appear on backing vocals, but the original Madonna lead vocal recording remains unreleased. DeLory's version did manage to crack the US Dance Club Play Chart.
[edit]Second decade recordings 1990–1999

[edit]The I'm Breathless and The Immaculate Collection albums
Dick Tracy Written by Patrick Leonard. This did not appear on the "I'm Breathless" album. ASCAP title code# 340325268 . Another "Dick Tracy" performed by Madonna is listed in the APRA database id code# GW04472893 and was written solely by Daniel Elfman.
Dog House Another title reported in Billboard magazine circa 1990 for the film Dick Tracy.
Various "Dick Tracy" demos - Leaked on 7" bootleg vinyl in the early-1990s at record collector shows under the name of "MA-HONEY". Rehearsal sound quality is rather poor and the printed jacket tracklisting was incorrect and is corrected as follows More, I Always Get My Man (actually Sooner Or Later), What Can You Get (actually What Can You Lose, sung by Madonna only (ie without her duet partner Mandy Patinkin)). These recordings (which included two different versions of 'I Always Get My Man' and a demo version of 'Now I'm Following You') were included on a bootleg album called 'Calendar Girl' in 1990. This album is credited to a "B. Mahoney" and includes the official Color Mix of True Blue, four songs from the Blond Ambition Tour Live in Wembley, the faux-Madonna track 'Lies in Your Eyes', and a recording of Madonna singing Santa Baby taken from the Very Special Christmas compilation released in 1987.
To Love You Written by Madonna and Andy Paley. Listed in the Warner-Chappel database but remains unreleased. The demo was re-recorded in 1994 but it is unreleased too. Part of the lyrics "Feelin' so low, feelin' like a fool, I walk alone, Why does love have to be so cruel?"
Get Over Recorded with Stephen Bray around the time of the Immaculate Collection. (It was going to be the third new song on the greatest hits album.) Madonna's demo version remains unreleased. The song was later recorded and released by actor/model Nick Scotti with Madonna backing vocals produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone for the film "Nothing But Trouble" in 1992. Listed as song #301415 in the CMRRA database.
[edit]The Erotica album
Dear Father An unreleased collaboration with Andre Betts and Mic Murphy (former member of duo The System). An uptempo dance track. Some of the lyrics go "Dear Father forgive me/ I don't know what I've done/ Dear Father reach out and protect me/ I'll return when my battle is won/ Give me strength/ Don't leave me down below/ Losing my grip/ Help me understand." The song appears in the EMI Music publishing database and in the UK based MCPS system. APRA id# GW09823950. This demo leaked in its entirety online in June 2008.
Love Hurts - A unique song title listed in the discography of producer/remixer Junior Vasquez. See Junior Vasquez Music Site Sometimes this song is also listed as an early demo from the song Erotica.
You Are The One U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-636 - Completely unreleased in any format. Song from The Rain Tapes written by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Tony Shimkin not used on the album. The lyrics include "You are the one, my only one - you are the one for me". The sound is very dance/club/house. It was abandoned at the demo stage. On December 19, the complete lyrics leaked onto the internet. The refrain runs, "You (you) are the one (are the one), Make me feel, Our love is alive, You are the one (are the one), Make me feel, These feelings inside." A fake fan-made version leaked on the fake Rain Tapes.
Bad Girl (Guitar Demo) Not the demo from the Rain Tapes (also called Cheat or Drunk Girl), but a different version. Sounds a lot like the version from the Rain Tapes as it is an edited and differently arranged version of the same demo. But This changes at the end, an unusual electric guitar is used at the last chorus and couplet. Which makes the song sound different, almost changing it from a ballad into a pop song. This version leaked onto the internet on 26 september 2008.
Shame U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-637 - Completely unreleased in any format. Song from The Rain Tapes not used on the album. The song opens with a spoken intro, "Why do you wanna waste your life away? It's a shame." Later she sings, "Anyone can learn to fly, keep your head up - keep your head held high." She also says, "You've got no one to blame." The chorus starts with "It's a Shaaaaaame" which sounds an awful lot like the song of the same title and time period by Monie Love. This is possibiy the source of the old rumour that she and Madonna were going to do something together. The similarity ends there, with Madonna's "Shame" breaking off into its own unique melody. A 20-second clip has leaked on the internet. On December 19, the complete lyrics were leaked.
Goodbye To Innocence Alternate version written and produced by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Tony Shimkin. U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-640 - This is very different from the commercially released remixed version which appeared on the various artists collection Just Say Roe and in a further revised dub from as "Up Down Suite" as one of the B-sides for the "Rain" single. The unreleased demo versions use the same theme and many of the same lyrics, but everything is switched around. It is a different vocal recording (strong-and-clear unlike the commercial mix). Much of the song's melody is different including the chorus. The arrangement is pure pop-funk-dance, no club remix style here. Extra lyrics include the spoken line: "Goodbye to innocence, anonyminity [sic], peace of mind . . . Goodbye to privacy, goodbye to all of that. Hello mankind!" The chorus includes: "You know you'd better stop, stop and think about how you get your kicks, God knows I didn't ask for this - you know you'd better stop, stop and think about it, before you mess with someone else, why don't you pay attention to yourself - yourself and nobody else." A full demo of this song, called "Straight Pass", leaked onto the internet in February 2008.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words (two alternate demo versions) - Are without the eastern instrument found in the released version simply called "Words". Instead the synth keys that are found at the end of the commercial mix are used during the chorus. There is also a subtle guitar-like sound. Additional lyrics include "I can't fight with your words, they come disguised as love, Your words are for fools", and "I can't fight with your words, they pretend to be kind but Your words are so cruel". The backing vocals and bridge arrangements are slightly different. U.S. copyright office registration PAu-1-605-641. As with most of the Rain Tapes tracks, fakes are in circulation which have no relevance to the authentic demos.
Erotica (unreleased demo). U.S. copyright registration PAu-1-605-642 - Known among fans as You Thrill Me since these words are contained in the alternate lyrics. Madonna incorporated this demo into the version of Erotica that she performed on her 2006 Confessions Tour. It is significantly different from the released album version. The verse lyrics are the same as those used on the album, though there is no trace of the familiar chorus lyric "Erotic, Erotic, put your hands all over my body". Instead Madonna sings a different chorus line with a different melody in the same type of voice that ends with the line:
"....You are who you are....and I
Wouldn't want to change a thing...in spite of
All the pain that love can bring...
Tell me, what can I do? I'm so in love with you.
You thrill me, surround me, you fill me
You send me, you put me in a trance
You fill me, inside of me, you take me
You thrill me, you put me in a trance."
The instrumentation is approximately the same as the commercial mix but the released mix is more distinctive, more complex, and more exotic. The Rough Mix includes the complete refrain, "Erotica, romance, I'd like to put you in a trance . . . Erotica, romance, I'd like to do a different kind of dance." A full demo of this song, called "Final Demo 2", leaked onto the internet in February 2008.
Jitterbug (song fragment, about 30–45 seconds) - Included on The Rain Tapes cassette tapes submitted buy Shep Pettibone to the U.S. copyright office. It was mostly taped over, but showed up between two of the other tracks. It is listed on the handwritten tape label, but it has no copyright registration of its own. The title was originally spelled with a "G", but was written over darker with a "J" in blue ink. It features typical generic Shep Pettibone dance music with Madonna finishing up with "Jitterbug, Jitterbug". Madonna stops singing but the music continues, and she can be heard asking: "Is this gonna go on forever and ever? Somebody end this dance lesson!" The music abruptly stops. She then says into the microphone: "Yeah, there were some cute ideas right there." A fake is in circulation which uses a Cathy Dennis instrumental and a peculiar vocal which seems to be a recreation of the word "Jitterbug" using the relevant vowels and consonants from other Madonna songs as well as an excerpt from Truth Or dare - "Do I have to listen to this?"
Thief of Hearts (alternate demo versions) U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-643 - Uses slightly different intro, bridge and outro arrangements. One version has what was eventually the end of the song placed at the beginning. One uses the voice of a southern black woman to say the line "sit your ass down" instead of Madonna herself as done on the commercial release, and Madonna is briefly heard laughing immediately after. A full-length version of one of the demos - Old Music - became available on file-sharing networks in February 2008. The others in circulation are, as before, fakes.
Secret Garden (Demo Version) Demo Version of the released last album track. It features same lyrics and music, but the vocals are stronger and clearer, with some alternate music choice, i.e. in some points there's only the bassline and Madonna's voice. It clocks 3'47, and has been available on peer-to-peer sharing software since July 2008.
[edit]The Bedtime Stories album
Something's Coming Over Me - The unreleased original version of the song "Secret" written and produced with Shep Pettibone and then abandoned. US copyright registration# PAu-1-889-253. This was done very much in the same dance style as "Vogue" with an erotic "Love To Love You Baby" Donna Summer-type theme. This version does not have the downbeat guitar R&B vibe of the released song. During the unique bridge of the unreleased demo the music drops out and Madonna speaks: "I see your love coming down; let it wash all over me." Then the bass and the drum kick back up in club anthem style where she sings: "Something's coming over me, over me, over me, over me." Shep Pettibone later did get co-writing credit for "Secret" due to this initial work which he did not originally get when the album Bedtime Stories was first released in 1994.
I Will Always Have You - The unreleased original version of what became the released song "Inside Of Me" recorded with Shep Pettibone and then abandoned. US copyright registration# PAu-1-889-251. This ballad sounds more like the familiar style of "Crazy for You" or "You'll See" than what later became the soft, lullaby-like released version. The released song's theme is all about Madonna cherishing the memory of a loved one, but in this demo she also wants to be the object of the song to also be remembered. The words "inside of me" are hardly used but many of the same lyrics are switched around. The melody is significantly different than the released version. There is also a subtle wind instrument, perhaps a synth flute.
Take a Bow (Alternate Demo) In the first recording phases of Bedtime Stories, a different version of Take a Bow was recorded. The sound of the song is more Christmas-like and Madonna sings a different way then in the released version. Lyrics basically come faster after each other. The song is sometimes also listed as an alternate Babyface demo. This demo sounds more like the version Madonna performed in 1995. The songs duration is also shorter than its released version.
Human Nature (Unreleased Bridge) Unreleased bridge from the song Human Nature. Unknown why it was scrapped. Madonna's voice becomes louder than in the rest of the song. At the background you can hear her saying the well-known line from the song 'express yourself, don't repress yourself'. The musical structure is pretty much the same as in the rest of the song. Madonna can be heard singing: I won't be so broken hearted. You were not the one for me, history has made me see. Nothings wrong I'm OK. It's coming after anyway. I'm moving on. No regrets, and I'm not sorry.' The song then returns to the chorus. The only thing that you can hear as the clip fades out, is that Madonna isn't singing the chorus, she is making some background noises. Also in the end you can hear her beginning to sing the word don't.
Human Nature (Unreleased Bridge 2) Basically like 'Unreleased Bridge' this is another scraped and unreleased bridge. It has same background sound heard in 'Unreleased Bridge' but the lyrics are different: They keep from you what they want, they keep it up until that gone. Looking for the easy way, everything they have to play. Appreciate. What you have before you loose it. The song then again returns to the chorus, and again you can hear Madonna making background noises, instead of singing the chorus. Now that this has leaked, it's suggest there is an alternate version of Human Nature.
I'd Rather Be Your Lover (feat. Tupac Shakur) An alternate version of the song where, instead of Me'Shell NdegeOcello rapping the breakdown, Tupac is rapping. This version was originally meant to be released, but was scrapped due to serious criminal charges brought against the late rapper and since the album was to present a kinder, more gentler Madonna, any unnecessary controversy was best avoided. The demo remains unreleased. A poorly constructed fan-made edit using the alternate rap that leaked as a separate file, has been circulating on the internet.
Love Won't Wait (original 1994 demo) A song abandoned and not used on the Bedtime Stories album. Madonna and Shep Pettibone later gave it to former Take That singer Gary Barlow. It was not written specifically for him. He received a demo tape with that song including her lead and backing vocals. The unreleased Madonna demo is US copyright registration# PAu-1-889-250. The demo leaked onto file-sharing services from sources unknown around the year 2000. Madonna's version has a strong clear vocal with bubblegum instrumentation that vaguely sounds like synth-Motown.
Bring It Written and produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone but never released. Of a far lesser quality than the other unreleased songs written with Pettibone for the Bedtime Stories album. US copyright registration# PAu-1-889-252. Partial lyric reads: "I know your love is bad for me, but I won't give up until you bring it to me."
Goodtime and Tongue Tied According to Warner-Chappel Music Publishing. Two songs written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone never released. The exact nature and origins are unknown. They may be from a different time period. Not known if they are real, this lyrics of supposedly Madonna's Goodtime appeared on the internet: Remember the goodtime we had. Remember all the things that we've been through. Remember the goodtime we had, remember I still love you.
Right On Time Written by Madonna and Dallas Austin. Listed in the European MCPS database. APRA id# GW0916567.

I Can't Forget An unreleased collaboration with David Foster. Recorded with two other released songs for the Something to Remember retrospective album but this one was never used. BMI work# 2133633 published by Peermusic Ltd. and Warner/Chappell Music. The song was later recorded by Tilt. They released their version titled "Come Closer" on their 2006 album "Vaults". Madonna is credited as writer of the song.[1] The song was also given to Canadian singer Angelica DiCastro for her album "Beautiful Feeling". The song is credited to David Foster and Madonna. A couple of clips from Madonna's demo version leaked onto the internet on 26 September 2008. On 17 February 2010, Madonna's demo version leaked to the internet in full.
You'll Stay written with Patrick Leonard and appeared in publishing records. Also found at the APRA site, song id# GW15524580.

[edit]The Ray of Light album
Unreleased demos recorded for the album Ray of Light written with Rick Nowels. The CMRRA has Madonna, Rick Nowels and Greg Fitzgerald:
Revenge - The song was one of the early demo's of the Ray Of Light album from 1997. In 2002 it was rumoured to be the new recorded song from Madonna for the James Bond movie, and the leaked demo even got some airplay. In early 2005 it was also rumoured to be Madonna's new single from her then upcoming album Confessions On A Dancefloor. The song has since been recorded by English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor for possible inclusion on her forthcoming 4th studio album. A vinyl acetate exists, the version is 3 minutes 45 seconds.
Gone, Gone, Gone - Song from the early stages of Ray Of Light in 1997, when Orbit wasn't asked yet for the album. The song appeared on the internet. Sometimes the song is also called Gone Gone Gone (This Love Affair Is Over).
Like A Flower - The demo of this song leaked onto the Internet around 2003. It was later given to Italian singer Laura Pausini and re-titled "Mi Abbandono A Te" for her 2004 album Resta In Ascolto (Italian for "Remain listening!"). This song was recorded also in Spanish with the title "Me Abandono A Ti" for the Spanish version of Resta In Ascolto named Escucha (Spanish for "Listen!").

Other songs from this era:
No Substitute For Love The original name for what became "Drowned World/Substitute For Love" with different lyrics, vocal melody and instrumentation. The chorus starting: "Face the truth, no substitute for love". The song is also without the San Sebastian Strings sample of "Why I Follow the Tigers" that is present in the released version. This version has leaked onto the internet.
Flirtation Dance An alternate title for the song "Skin".
Don't Love A Stranger and/or Forever One or both of these titles are said to have been recorded with producer and songwriter Babyface for the Ray of Light album but were never used. Existence of this collaboration is very certain as confirmed by Madonna's publicist, but the exact title names(s) have not yet been made public. Madonna confirmed that she wrote four songs with Babyface for the album that were all abandoned at an early stage.
Be Careful Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard only, APRA song id# GW23038624. A possible early version of the song Be Careful (Cuidado Con Mi Corazon) recorded with Ricky Martin and William Orbit, APRA song id# GW1552449. Leonard is not credited on the released Madonna-Orbit version with Ricky Martin but he has his own separate Madonna-Leonard documented entry in the Warner-Chappell publishing database. Oddly, the Canadian CMRRA lists them all as co-writers together on one song work# 732670
Regresando A Madonna and Patrick Leonard collaboration of unknown origin. Listed in the Warner-Chappell database. Also APRA song id# GW19069760. The never released title might actually be a mis-spelling for the Spanish word Regresando which translates to English as meaning Returning. Until additional information is provided, the inclusion of the letter f in the original word spelling is thought by many fans to be nonsensical and probably listed incorrectly in the publisher database.

[edit]The Music album
Mechanical, Just Another, One and When The Light Fades. These songs were reported in press but no other information were provided
Eagle's Wings, No Choice and Remember Me. Songs supposedly written with Mirwais Ahmadzai for the Music album according to an Italian news source. See La Nazione news report from 2000 There has never been a publishing or copyright registration made to confirm these titles. They remain only rumors supported by media report.
La Petit, Mysore Smile and Run. Written and produced with William Orbit but never used or released. Confirmed ASCAP title codes 420566552, 420566570, 430653519 and 480358398. Mysore is a city in India, a center of yoga and meditation study. A short clip claiming to be La Petit, leaked onto the internet. But this isn't real, it's just Madonna reading a part of a Winnie-The-Pooh book. Run has since leaked in the form of two instrumental demo tracks on file sharing networks and has been released in instrumental form on William Orbit's official Streamcast site, with the track retitled Forbidden Planet.
Music alternate unreleased versions surfaced onto the internet in April 2008; One features an alternate vocal reprise with Madonna singing "Boogie-Woogie do you like to tango, Boogie-Woogie do you like to be-bop, Boogie-Woogie do you like to mambo, Boogie-Woogie do you like my acid rock"; The other is an extended version of the song including different instrumentations and alternate spoken vocals.
Liquid Love, co-written and produced by William Orbit, originates from the Fall of 1999, presumably from the same preliminary sessions that yielded Amazing and Runaway Lover, which would end up being featured on her Music LP a year later. Madonna confirms in the 2005 Attitude interview that the track was, too, supposed to be on the album but was axed because it gave her "the wrong tingles." The track leaked onto the internet on June 3, 2006. The instrumental to "Liquid Love" has actually been available to hear on William Orbit's official website under the name Bubble Universe. The track has been released in this form on his album, Hello Waveforms. An alternate mix leaked online on August 15, 2008. An vinyl acetate exists and the length is approximately 4 minutes, 25 seconds
Like An Angel Passing Through My Room Madonna and Orbit covered this ABBA song during the Music sessions. The demo and instrumental versions leaked online on August 15, 2008.
Alone Again A Madonna co-write with Rick Nowels. A song widely publicised in the media in 2002 as being given to and recorded by Kylie Minogue. The Minogue version was supposed to be the B-side to her "Come Into My World" single, but the well-documented Madonna tune (mentioned by Kylie during interviews) remained unreleased until in was featured in the Kylie documentary "White Diamond" which premiered in London on 16 October 2007 and was released on DVD on December 10, 2007). The credits for the film cite Madonna and Rick Nowels as writers. Madonna is also thanked in the credits.
Hollywood, a song that has reportedly undergone countless revisions and overhauls over the years, actually originates from the late 1990s. Madonna wrote the track on her own and then sought creative input from her collaborators to polish the song up, the goal being to get it released on the Music LP. Early incarnations of the track may have featured input from Guy Sigsworth, but not until Mirwais came into the recording sessions did the song start taking serious shape. Madonna's original acoustic demos were scrapped and the melody completely reworked; the backing music is said to be less guitar and more along the lines of "Impressive Instant." Neither she nor Mirwais Ahmadzaï liked the result, and the song was scrapped. It was picked up in the Spring of 2002 during the "American Life" recording sessions, where it underwent a couple more revisions before ultimately finding home on that album and becoming its second single.
Wonderland A short, 45-second score to the short lived ABC TV show of the same name. The series aired only two episodes due to controversial content which viewers found disturbing. ASCAP title code 530521409. Written by Madonna and William Orbit. Madonna's humming was later used on the song "Amazing" but the original score remains unreleased. The clip has though been available to hear on William Orbit's official website in the archive section for some time under its proper name. Intriguingly when various other Orbit era tracks leaked in Summer 2008 a slightly different version of this track leaked which credited Rupert Everitt as a co-vocalist...
Mrs. Perfect -- information on this track is scarce, although knowledge of its existence came to light in early 2008 via the fan site Madonna Fanzine. Reportedly a lost collaboration between Madonna and William Orbit.
Title(s) uncertain - At the time, Madonna was working with DJ/remixer, producer Sasha. Madonna mentioned this in an interview with MixMag. Nothing amounted to a complete song from this collaboration and she said they were all going into "the vault". How much was just Sasha instrumental work and how much had Madonna vocals is not clear.
Title(s) Unknown Two songs recorded with Belgian-Congolese fusion group Zap Mama mixed by Pairs-based Bengali artist Subhendu Bapi Das Baul says the Screen India June 8, 2001. Plus a third recording is a Madonna guest vocal on a Bapi Das Baul track says the India Today April 2, 2001...she found it "interesting". Hindustand Times March 19, 2001 says that Madonna first heard Shubhendu "Bapi das Baul" on one of Fun-Da-Mental's CDs. "Madonna keeps a tab on the latest occurrences in the British dance music scene, so she possibly knew about my kind of music," explains Shubhendu. When she visited Paris last year, Madonna called him up to make an offer. "She just asked me, like, 'Wanna sing on my next album?' I thought, 'Why not?'" he says. Ultimately, Shubhendu ended up cutting not one, but two tracks." So far these very unusual collaborations have not surfaced.
[edit]The Die Another Day soundtrack album
Can't You See My Mind Recorded and produced with French-techno producer Mirwais Ahmadzai for the James Bond film Die Another Day. Widely reported in the media but unlike the title track it was never used or released. Listing confirmed at Warner-Chappell Music Publishing. Also ASCAP title code# 330991414.
[edit]The American Life album
The Game is a song written and produced with Mirwais. It became available on file-sharing networks in August 2008. The song has a stripped-down acoustic folk feel.
It's So Cool appeared on Madonna's greatest hits compilation Celebration (iTunes Edition Only) in a remixed version by Paul Oakenfold. An original edit of the song remains unreleased.
[edit]The Post Re-Invention Tour Musicals
"How High", "Curtain", "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" and "Is this Love (Bon D'Accord)" - among a number of songs written for a planned musical "Hello Suckers", a 20s-style musical loosely based on the life of Texas Guinan.[2] Songs were written with a number of co-writers including Patrick Leonard and Mirwais Ahmadzai. Lyrics from "How High" were later reworked into a song for Confessions on a Dance Floor. Some lyrics from "Is This Love" were later re-used on the song "Voices" on the album Hard Candy. "The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" was later taken to Madonna's brother-in-law Joe Henry to develop further. It was planned to be included on The Re-Invention Tour, but ultimately didn't surface until the album Hard Candy following further development with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Nate Hills. "Is this Love (Bon D'Accord)" has since been leaked on internet file-sharing services.
Titles unknown - A second musical to have been directed by filmmaker Luc Besson, was also in pre-production during 2005 but was abandoned when Madonna read the script and was dissatisfied with the result. See Observer Guardian UK Madonna interview Nov 2005.
[edit]The Confessions on a Dance Floor album
Super Pop Song written by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzai, was originally recorded as the final track for the album, but was axed at the last minute due to unknown reasons. However it was made available for download only to members of her official fan club and it somehow leaked onto the internet in 2006. An alternative version of this song is available on some file sharing networks, which is more of a dance mix and includes more trance-ish sounds than the original version. This particular mix is labelled '2000 demo' suggesting the song may be from an earlier time, but in fact there is no evidence that indicates the track was written prior to 2004. New evidence suggests that this alternate version is actually an unreleased remix engineered by Stuart Price.
Get Together Original unreleased version, produced by Anders Bagge, and Peer Åstrom. Dramatically different from the released album version. Leaked onto the internet in April 2008.
Triggering (Your Senses) Another collaboration between Madonna and Mirwais. Similar to "Never Young Again". The song leaked in full on August 21, 2008.
History (Land of The Free) Completely different version from the song released as a B-side from Jump. Madonna's voice is more pure, and the song has a completely different structure. Two different demos with slightly different lyrics leaked, the first in 2007 and the second in April 2008.
Keep The Trance Song written and produced by Mirwais and co-written by Madonna, but not used for the album. A short edit of this track that was recorded during the album sessions, leaked in January 2008. The song was eventually reworked into the Live Earth charity release "Hey You", which has very similar lyrics. An alternate mix (reportedly final) leaked in August 2008. Later reworked and released as Get It Right by Yas, taken from her album Arabology which was also produced by Mirwais.
Light Up Brother-in-law Joe Henry mentioned in an interview that he was working with Madonna on two songs. Only one of these collaborations appeared on the final cut of the album. The second song may have been "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" which Madonna developed with Henry in 2005 before re-working it with other writers for inclusion on her 2008 album Hard Candy.
[edit]The Hard Candy album
Beat Goes On (Demo), an early version leaked onto the internet in August 2007. It features significantly different lyrics and musical structure from the album version. It should be noted that the Kanye West rap is missing from this demo, as it was recorded after the leak.
La, La, a reported collaboration with Timbaland and Danja. Timbaland mentioned the song during an interview with MTV [3], but it did not make the final cut.
Across The Sky, a reported collaboration with Justin Timberlake, Danja and Timbaland. A nine-second clip of an a capella version was leaked onto the internet in 2009, the full song leaked on January 21, 2010.
[edit]The Celebration album
Broken (I'm Sorry) Was mentioned by Paul Oakenfold, said to be another track recorded for the compilation.
[edit]Unreleased Remixes Officially Commissioned (any period)

Not intended to include bootleg/unofficial mixes or "mash-ups" even if constructed by big-name producers.
Just to clear this up once and for all: "White label" is NOT a term meant to be used for all unofficial remixes. It refers to bootlegged records that usually have a plain white label. If a remix has never been pressed to an actual 12" record, it is not a white label.
Like a Virgin (remix) by producer Nile Rodgers, (formerly of the group Chic). Nile mentioned in an interview of the time that the remix of this song by John Jellybean Benitez was chosen over his for the release of the 12" dance single.
Cherish (remix) Official commissioned remix by Hank Shocklee and Phil Castellano as first reported in Billboard Magazine. Never released.
Bedtime Story (remix) Was done during the mid-90's by Ralphi Rosario but was not accepted by the label at the time for commercial single release due to the underground vibe used. See supporting Rosario interview at Madonnatribe.com A more recent 2005 mix was also done by Victor Calderone. He requested and got the masters for his personal use from WB music without a specific commercial project in mind. See official Victor Calderone discography. Jason Nevins also remixed the track for private use as listed in his discography.
Crazy for You (remixes) by Junior Vasquez. This 90's dance version of the 1985 ballad circulated widely among collectors. It was never issued commercially or promotionally. Junior Vasquez did an Arena Anthem and an X-Beat Mix as well as several versions based on these two.
Crazy for You (remix) by Nikolas & Sibley. A dance mix that first appeared on a bootleg compilation back in 1997. Often mis-credited to Tony Moran or Junior Vasquez.
Be Careful (remix) by Pablo Flores (as reported in Billboard Magazine). Done in the summer of 1999 with the Gypsy Kings commissioned to play Flamenco guitar and do vocal overdubs on the mix. Victor Calderone was also supposed to remix this song. See article V for Victor Neither mix of this cancelled single has ever leaked out. Victor's discography oddly does not list this song, but instead shows Power Of Goodbye which is not widely thought to have been remixed by him (possible confusion). See Calderone discography
Ray of Light (remix) by Richie Santana. Commissioned but not released (possibly due to its length: 12:24). Found by fans on file-sharing services. This remix was officially released on a promotional 12" vinyl single, released only to Billboard Reporting Club Djs (confirmed by Orlando Puerta, VP of Promotions, Street and Lifestyle Marketing at Warner Brothers Records.)
Nothing Really Matters (remix) A full 25-minute version that Madonna "loved" by Talvin Singh as described in an interview with India Today in 1998. This may be a longer version of his commercially released Vikram mix which clocks in at 13:44.
American Pie (JB's remix) by Jonsi (of Sigur Rós) and Bix. From year 2000 Don McLean cover. Remix duo did not meet the record label deadline for requested submission. They finished the mix and later posted to the public on website. See "remixed" section at This Is Bix. Madonna's club single was issued without the JB version.
Music and Don't Tell Me (remixes) by Dave Aude. These were played on mix radio shows in the UK and have been circulating among collectors but they do not appear on the commercial or promotional copies issued for these songs. Dave's was the last of 7 different mixers commissioned. See Dave Aude Jive magazine interview 2000
Music (remixes) by Richard "Humpty" Vission. These were commissioned but not released. A Phunktron Mix (6:21), Phunktron Dub (6:09) and a Phunktron Radio Edit (4:14) are circulating among collectors on the Internet.
Runaway Lover (remix) by Victor Calderone. See Interview with Victor at Madonnatribe.com His version was never released, but he did play it on a radio broadcast. That version is privately circulating among fans, but is edited to make it sound full, when in reality it was mixed.
What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix) by Thunderpuss. This remix was not included on commercial release due to a misunderstanding, according to the members of the remix duo. Warner Brothers Records got word the remix had leaked months before the scheduled release. Upon hearing about the prematurely leaked Thunderpuss remix, Madonna's angered record label decided not to use the remix. In reality, the leaked file in question was an amateur made remix incorrectly labeled. The authentic Thunderpuss mix has since been circulating among collectors via the internet, and on bootleg releases. See Thunderpuss & Barry Harris discography
What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix) by Manny Lehman. Commissioned but not released. He previewed it on his website.
Die Another Day (remix) by DJ Tiësto was commissioned but rejected. It was played during one of his live sets and is circulating among collectors, as it was pressed on a limited edition white label release along with another rejected Tiësto remix of a song by Radiohead. A replica made by Tiësto-fans is also circulating (clocking in at 7:14).
Over And Over (remix) by Tracy Young. A more recent remix (approximately year 2005 or so) of the old 1984 song was commissioned but was never used. It does appear listed on Young's discography. See DJ Tracy Young Official Site. It was made for a Rugrats movie and was later scrapped.
Hollywood (remix) by Blow Up. The duo Paolo Cilione and Claudio Camaione confirmed the existence of this remix on their official site, stating it was planned for an American Life Club Mixes LP in 2004, which never materialized (possibly due to the ReInvention Tour going on at the time). Their "Love Profusion" remix, which originates from the same time frame, showed up on the U.S. Maxi-single. The duo also, according to an interview, was planning to remix "Mother & Father", though that was never completed.
Hollywood (remix) by Junior Vasquez. An official project unlike most of Junior's mixes made for his own private use. This project was granted by Madonna at the personal request of Donatella Versace for exclusive use in a fashion show in spite of the ongoing feud between Junior and Madonna. See New York Magazine news article
Hollywood (remix) by Sander Kleinenberg. This remix was commissioned but was rejected. The Sander Kleinenberg Dub is available on a one-sided White Label Promo vinyl. The Sander Kleinenberg Club Mix was played during a live set. The full Club Mix has not yet leaked to the Internet.
Hollywood (Deepsky Home Sweet Home Vocal Remix) by Deepsky. Though various versions of "Hollywood" remixes by Deepsky are called "Deepsky Home Sweet Home Vocal Remix", they are mistitled, and are actually the Dub version of the remix. A Vocal Radio Edit is on a promotional CD.
Into The Hollywood Groove by Peter Rauhofer. Listed on his official website remixes listing. The mix was never released as the Missy Elliott samples were never cleared.
Nobody Knows Me (remix) by LEX. The duo completed a remix, which was accepted by the label but never released. It is possible that it was decided this remix would not be used when the label picked up Peter Rauhofer's bootleg mix.
Mother and Father (remix) by Johnny Rocks. The Rauhofer mix was eventually released on a compilation album but the official Johnny Rocks mix only appeared on radio during a KTU 103.5 mix show in New York and remains unreleased. Joe Carrano programmed the mix. World Anthem Remix 9min 30sec and World Anthem Radio Edit 3min 35sec. See Johnny Rocks site
Re-Invention Studio Concept Mixes. A segment of video footage, unused from the Re-Invention Tour, surfaced in July 2005 and contained a sample of what appeared to be an overhauled version of I'm So Stupid, which did not make the final show. Because he was musical director of the last tour, we can only assume that this is a Stuart Price remix. This mix can be seen rehearsed during the documentary "I'm Going To Tell You a Secret." The Material Girl edit leaked online in 2007. Stuart also put together the reworked version of The Beast Within which opened the show. The full Stuart Price tour concept demo version of I'm So Stupid leaked onto the internet in June 2006 along with numerous other Re-Invention Studio Concept Mixes including Nobody Knows Me, Die Another Day and Hollywood. These are just conceptual versions and differ slightly from the final tour versions. They were ripped from a private CDR that wasn't supposed to be heard outside of Madonna's own camp. In fact, these concept demos are so rough you can hear Stuart and his co-workers talking during certain parts of the demos, e.g. at the end of I'm So Stupid.
Hung Up (remix) by LEX. The LEX Vocal Mix and the LEX Instrumental Mix was accepted and sent out to DJs via digital download. The duo also completed a LEX Reggaeton Mix that was rejected.
Get Together (remix) by Roger Sanchez. Rejected mix. Roger claims he asked for the tracks to do this remix on his radio show, which is false. He has since played it twice on his radio show.
Get Together (remix) by Thin White Duke. Stuart Price made 2 mixes of this song (Jacques Lu cont mix and Thin White Duke mix) and he had to choose between them which will be released. He chose the Jacques Lu Cont Mix. The Thin White Duke mix was rejected even to be sent out to DJs via digital download.
Sorry (dubs) by Pet Shop Boys. Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe made several mixes of this song, but not all of them got an official release. In a 2007 interview Neil Tennant reveals they made several Dub versions of "Sorry". Not very much later, the Minimal Dub surfaced on the internet for the first time; however, they also confirmed that alternate and maximal dubs remain unreleased.
Miles Away (remixes). Remixes for Miles Away were commissioned from Kaskade, Lost Daze and Headcleanr (who also remixed American Life and Love Profusion) but were never approved by the label or Madonna. For a brief description, see Madonnatribe Exclusive Preview: Miles Away Remixes
Celebration (remixes). Remixes by Chris Lake were not accepted by Madonna. Also rejected were some alternate mixes, edits and dubs by Johnny Vicious, and some alternate edits by Felguk.
Revolver (remixes). Several Tracy Young remixes were not accepted by Warner, including a full vocal mix, a rapless mix, an instrumental dub and a radio edit. Only the dub appears on any release, listed as "Tracy Young's Shoot To Kill Remix".
[edit]Registered alternate song titles

These musical works were registered in the United States Copyright Office or another music registry under a different title from that used on the released Madonna record. Or have a contributing history to the final Madonna release.
