It's 30 years since 'Causing a Commotion' was runner-up on the Billboard Hot 100. Released as the second single from Who's That Girl?, the song draws influence from Madonna's relationship with then-husband Sean Penn. Reviews were middling but it was still a chart success, reaching the Top 10 in Australia, Canada, Italy, UK & US.

 

What's everyone's thoughts on the track? Is it underrated? Should it make a return to the stage?

Not a fave but I do like it .

 

Think it does deserve a return to a tour !!

I really don't listen to this much at all (mainly because it's not on one of her main studio albums). I should revisit it more though because it's nice.

I never usually listened to it that much - like Bal said, it doesn't feature on a studio album or compilation - but I've been making a conscious effort to listen when I'm having a Madonna sesh on Spotify. I've really grown to love it and I think it has a hook that's just as strong as Madonna's other popular 80s hooks. I probably prefer it to 'Who's That Girl?' now.

 

Adore the Who's That Girl Tour performance! :wub:

It's okay but, Look Of Love aside, I prefer every other single from the second half of the 80s.

Good opportunity to remind people of this excellent cover from Bright Light Bright Light:

 

 

Absolutely adore that production! :wub: This is why I have finally been able to fully appreciate the song.
