This song from the film Desperately Seeking Susan was Madonna's first UK #1 hit. It was never released as a single in the US, however, where it remains one of the best-known B-sides of the '80s, since radio stations played the song anyway. In America, it was issued as the B-side of "Angel," which many folks bought to get "Into The Groove." As a result, "Angel" went to #5 in the US despite a lackluster reception.
This song about the sheer exhilaration of dance merged the underground dance scene into pop. It was voted Song of the 1980s by Billboard readers.
Madonna and Stephen Bray wrote this song. According to the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Bray was having trouble with the bridge when Madonna walked into the studio, stepped up to the microphone and sang, "live out your fantasy here with me."
