It’s worth noting the album version of “Borderline” is a full 1:20 longer than this version, which forsakes several “keep pushing me’s” to the ultimate detriment of the song, IMHO.

Madonna’s Holiday: Who’s that dude in the background?

Part of an ongoing series of tributes to Michigan’s own Madonna, who enters the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame March 10.

Madonna’s third single off of her self-titled 1983 debut was “Holiday,” which would go on to become a standard in her catalogue. But the video was such a disaster it was never officially released.

This clip finds Madonna and two background dancers — one of whom looks like Chris Parnell — dancing in front of a wall, where an Ebenezer Scrooge lookalike is taking a nap. she briefly wakes up in the middle of the clip and then returns to his slumber, and it’s unclear whether or not she knows he’s in a music video.

This video was a step back for Madonna after the pseudo high art of “Burning Up.” But it would be the last time a video of hers would land with such a resounding thud, because “Borderline” was just around the corner.

Here’s one You forgot, one of my favorites too: “My most glaring omission is Daryl Hall and John Oates,” wrote Lamont Corbin of Detroit. “They are the highest selling duo in history and many groups with far less credentials are in the hall.”

Matt Fasang wrote in: “If you have Genesis and Yes based on sales and popularity you gotta have….sit down….Journey and ELO. Iggy Pop should have been one of the first in.”
