Talk:Sorry (Madonna song)

message: I'm quite surprised that here's no information and discussion about the message of this song. It's all figures and charts, but nothing about the message. Isn't that the most important thing in the song?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.25.116.50 (talk) 23:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Madonna is one of the very few non-latino artists to top the Mexican Music Charts and this song happened to do so. Why is there no mention of it in the charts section? It hit number one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.39.226.133 (talk) 20:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

:Her producer said they sampled the Jackson 5 on "Sorry", and the song itself is proof that they sampled the bassline from "Can You Feel It?". The only thing is it's not as noticable in "Sorry" as it is in "Material Girl", where she blantantly stole the bassline from CYFI.Street walker 11:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So they "listened" to it, and drew inspiration from it? That's a nice way of saying they stole it. Legal action can't be taken because someone things a song sounds like another song, give me a break. But I do tell you this, if Madonna doesn't re-issue the album and single with credit going to Michael and Jackie Jackson's "Can You Feel It", then she should expect legal action against her.Street walker 23:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: ---> "The song samples the bass line of the Michael and Jackie Jackson penned, "Can You Feel It", from the Jackson's 1984 release, Victory."
I have removed this until someone can confirm that this song is sampled. The album notes do not credit it and as far as I know Madonna hasn't confirmed the sample. Underneath-it-All 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The wrong information comes from journalists at The Sun. They compared Madonnas album tracks with known songs and noticed that "Sorry" has a similar bass line - but not the same. --Red-Blue-White 12:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

text:  This article is about the rumours before the album came out (Sunday, October 23, 2005). Someone reported "Sorry" would sound like "Can you feel it" and the newspapers published first that the Jacksons would sing background and later that there's a sample. Both is wrong. If there was a sample in "Sorry" it would be credited like the ABBA sample. That's it. --Red-Blue-White 05:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: How many known single covers exist for "Sorry"? We cannot have it constantly changing in the template. However, if there are two major single cover releases for the song, I find it appropraite to place the standard one in the template. Solar Serenity 01:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This all shows the sloppiness of Stuart Price as a producer and the album as a whole. Couldn't they have spent more than 25 seconds looking up translations? PatrickJ83 23:28, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "It was Madonna's first single not to enter the Canadian Singles Chart and peaked at number fifty-three."
I have serious doubt that Sorry only went #53 on Canadian charts. Digital sales peaked at #2 and Airplay peaked at #7. 
Could somebody clear this out?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.120.67 (talk) 16:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too many bare URLs 

message: The article contains the line "Among the various remixes, the Pet Shop Boys remix incorporated Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" with a more pronounced bassline and uses a double breakdown in the introduction"...however the reference listed didn't actually mention this topic, and there's no evidence this is true. There are no additional songwriting credits on the single, or on the PSB album "Disco 4" which also features their remix - just Madonna/Tennant/Lowe - if they had sampled something else it would have been credited. Granted, the remix does open with a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound similar to that used on the Houston song, but that's just a generic cowbell sound from a Roland TR-808 which has been used on MANY songs from the 80s and 90s - it's not even the same rhythm or in the same key.
