“Causing A
Commotion”, the second single release from the Who’s That Girl soundtrack,
shot up
the charts but wasn’t able to crack the #1 spot, becoming
yet another of many singles to settle for
the runner-up position.
The song, although catchy and very danceable, is possibly the most dated
of all Madonna's 80’s hits. A creative step backwards from the timeless
classics spawned by
True Blue, “Causing A Commotion” ---like
“Who’s That Girl”--- failed to appear on Madonna’s
1990
greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection.
Although the song did not
have a video, Madonna did perform the track live via satellite at the
1987 MTV Video Music Awards. That year,
“Papa Don’t Preach” won a moon-man for best
female video. The
other nominees were Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, and
---guess who? ---
Madonna again
with “Open Your Heart”.
With
the recent worldwide success of True Blue, along with the Who’s That
Girl soundtrack,
movie, and tour, Madonna’s career was lightening hot in
1987. In 1988, however, she would be
virtually absent from the music scene, releasing no new songs
whatsoever. In fact, her chart
presence on Billboard would have been nonexistent that year if
not for one thing --- “Causing A Commotion” spent its final week on the Hot
100 during
the first week of 1988.
