How\u2019s that for timing?<\/p>\n<p>I chose Into The Groove for many reasons, one of them being that in my teens my aunt bought a ghetto blaster with an integrated record player to take to Ghana and she had this on 7\u201d, and I remember it was the first record she played on there.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That synth bass goodness &#8211; I didn\u2019t recognise the importance of the bass line in dance music at that stage of my life because I wasn\u2019t into music that much yet\u2026 but that bass line, the drums, the analogue synths really came together &#8211; not to mention Madonna\u2019s vocals &#8211; she\u2019s got the perfect pop vocal, the harmonies aren\u2019t overly complicated and it fits into this track perfectly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Madonna\u2019s way of telling people to get dancing and dance they did.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The song has been a huge hit on her tours and why not?
