The song is well known for the richness of its symbolism and allusions to the history of American popular music from the 1950s to the early 1970s, referring to a 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens as 'the day the music died'. Reason: If adding the lyrics is appropriate, do so.Īmerican Pie American Pie is a song and an album released in 1971 by American singer-songwriter Don McLean. Funniest moments of the video are when Madonna turns around and shows the crack of her ass, and at the end, when she pulls up her trousers and then tears them when she sits down.This topic has been added to the todo-list. Rupert Everett - who did backing vocals - appears once in a while too, but there are no scenes from the movie.

All through the video she's dancing in front of a large American flag. On her dark blonde Raphael curls she's wearing a tiara. Maddy is dressed in a blue shirt and a baggy jeans. Director Philip Stolzl used a lot of splitscreens to show both those ordinary people and a rather extraordinary Madonna. They show several snaps of ordinary people playing children, happy couples, a lonely woman in a store, etc. The video pays tribute to the seventies in which the original song by Don McLean was recorded. To 'punish' the song, it wasn't included in GHV2. In an interview with BBC's Jo Whiley in November 2001, Madonna admits regretting this decision, which 'a certain record company exec twisted her arm into doing'. The song was added as a bonus track on the Music album (outside the US). Ironically there was no commercial single release in the US, but the single still reached the #29 spot, just based on airplay. Released on March 3, 2000, American Pie reached #1 in a lot of countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. Madonna and William Orbit reworked the song, making it shorter and more dancy. Rupert Everett convinced Madonna to cover the song and add it to the soundtrack. At one point Abbey and her friends are at the funeral of a friend who died from aids and they start singing Don McLean's classic 'American Pie'. The movie tries to handle issues as single parentship, child custody and homosexuality. Madonna's character is Abbey, a single woman in her early 30s who ends up having a child with her gay friend. In 2000 Madonna and Rupert Everett starred in The Next Best Thing, a comedy drama.
