"American Pie" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna. It is a cover of the original song written and recorded by Don McLean. She co-produced the song with William Orbit for the soundtrack to the film The Next Best Thing (2000), after being encouraged by her co-star Rupert Everett.

Despite becoming a commercial success reaching number one in several countries, it received mixed reactions from critics and was considered one of the worst covers of all time by publications such as The A.V. Club and Rolling Stone.

Background

[edit]

In 2000, American singer and songwriter Madonna released a cover version of "American Pie" as part of the soundtrack to the film The Next Best Thing, which she starred alongside Rupert Everett. She approached producer William Orbit and re-recorded the track in September 1999 in New York, after Everett had convinced her to cover it for the film.[1][2] The singer declared that there was a moment where she thought doing a cover was "too corny for words", but when people around her seemed to like it, she "went with the flow".[1] According to Madonna, she liked the song while she was growing up but was not sure of its relevance at the time she was offered to re-record it;[1] she would later describe the track as a "real millennium song" as pop culture was going through big changes caused by the internet, and also a way of saying goodbye to music and pop culture as the society knew it.[3] McLean himself praised Madonna's version, calling her a "goddess" as well as a "colossus in the music industry", while labelling her version as "sensual and mystical". He also mentioned how "she's chosen autobiographical verses that reflect her career and personal history".[4]

Release

[edit]

Originally, Madonna was set to premiere "American Pie" during a performance at Super Bowl XXXIV halftime show on January 30, 2000, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, as a salute to the music of the United States on the 20th century.[5] However, she stepped down from the performance due to her busy schedule while recording her eighth studio album, Music.[6] It was then announced that radio station KIIS-FM would premiere the single during the halftime show; however, it was played by KYSR and WPLJ days before, after it was made available illegally on a website from Singapore.[7] It had also been played 10 days ahead of its intended preview date by DJ Jeremy Healy as part of his set at a Christian Dior fashion show for British designer John Galliano in Paris. When her record company started tracking the leak, it was found that Madonna had personally sent Healy a copy of the song.[8]

Maverick and Warner Bros. Records sent "American Pie" to hot adult contemporary radios in the United States on February 7, 2000,[9] and to contemporary hit radios the day after.[10] A promotional 12-inch single of the track was also delivered to club DJs the week of January 31, 2000, although it was never released commercially in the country.[11] Afterwards, it was included as an international bonus track on Music, released in September 2000.[12] However, in 2001, the track was not present on the singer's greatest hits compilation GHV2 because she had regretted including it on Music. She disclosed to BBC Radio 1 that "it was something a certain record company executive twisted my arm into doing, but it didn't belong on the album so now it's being punished... My gut told me not to [put the song on Music], but I did it and then I regretted it so just for that reason it didn't deserve a place on GHV2".[13][14] A remixed version of the song later appeared on Madonna's compilation album Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones (2022).[15]

Composition

[edit]

Madonna's version of "American Pie" is considerably much shorter than the eight-minute original song, removing any historical references such as the plane crash, as well as the pauses in the original arrangement.[1][16] The singer declared that cutting down the song's lengthy lyrics to a "radio-friendly" size was the hardest part of producing the track, and added, "The thing is, I guess the hook of it is pretty accessible, but the verses are really abstract, complicated, and none of them are the same melody-wise".[17] Her version for "American Pie" is described as a dance-pop track which combines "futuristic electro-pop elements à la Air with '70s-centric rock".[18][19] Also present on the song is Orbit's trademark "filter sweeps and synthesizer bleeps".[20] It is set in common time with slowly and freely tempo and a metronome of 72 beats per minute, and set in the key of A♭ major with Madonna's vocals spanning from E♭3-B♭4.[21] The track was produced by Madonna and William Orbit, who also played guitar, drums, and keyboards, with backing vocals provided by Rupert Everett. Engineering was provided by Jake Davies, Mark Endert, and Sean Spuehler, with programming by the latter and Rico Conning. "American Pie" was mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent.[22]

Critical reception

[edit]

Madonna's version for "American Pie" received mixed reviews from music critics.[23] Chuck Taylor from Billboard was impressed by the cover and commented, "Applause to Madonna for not pandering to today's temporary trends and for challenging programmers to broaden their playlists. ... In all, a fine preview of the forthcoming soundtrack to The Next Best Thing."[19] New York Daily News' staff stated that the cover has "unexpectedly moving results", while capturing "that sense of nostalgia and loss, while cutting the beat in half and ditching half the verses" and complimented Orbit's "clever combination of lush and sprightly synthesizers, some cutting-edge, some antique".[24] Peter Robinson of The Guardian called it "actually brilliant".[25] William Ruhlmann from AllMusic was also positive, writing how Madonna "dumped most of those pesky lyrics" and "If it doesn't make any sense, so what? Most of them will be dancing too hard to notice".[26] According to Entertainment Weekly's David Browne, "What seemed an inspired, left-field idea winds up a decidedly flavorless slice of dessert"; on his vision, the cover "doesn't shamelessly evoke nostalgia, but it doesn't evoke much of anything else, either".[27]

Offering a mixed review, Michael Hubbard of MusicOMH wrote that "Orbit produces American Pie to satisfactory effect – despite the overall result begging the question WHY?",[28] while Gary Crossing from Dotmusic also wondered, "Quite why Madonna ever considered covering this is a mystery".[29] On his column in Music Week, Tilly Rutherford declared it was "absolutely diabolical" and that it deserved only one place, "not in the charts but in the bin".[30] NME also gave it a negative review, saying that "Killdozer did it first and did it better", that it was "sub-karaoke fluff" and that "it's a blessing she didn't bother recording the whole thing."[31] For James Poletti of Dotmusic, it would be "Madonna's worst release for quite some time", criticizing its "insubstantial" production and her "bored" vocals on the song.[32] The Guardian's Garry Mulholland dissmissed it as "something stupid" and "the worst record of career", which ends Music on a sour note.[33] John Hand from the BBC News agreed, describing the song as a "tacked-on reworking" which "seems so out of place" on the album.[34] Similarly, Q's Danny Eccleston said it "still sounds horrible" with "ambient clichés working overhard to swamp the tune’s essentially chaste, fixed-grin plasticity", and concluded, "it's hard not to envy the Americans, whose version of Music is Pie-free".[35]

On his list of Madonna's best singles, Matthew Jacobs of HuffPost ranked the track at number 66, and concluded that it was "not a bad song, per se, it's just a fluffy dance-pop approach to one of rock's greatest anthems",[36] whereas for Slant Magazine's staff, it was the singer's 69th best single, pointing out that it "remains one of the singer’s more dubious covers".[37] In a 2011 poll by Rolling Stone, "American Pie" was considered the third worst cover of all time, with a staff member stating, "She removed about half the verses to the song and what remained was really flat and lifeless".[38] Writing for The A.V. Club, Stephen Thomas Erlewine also ranked it at number three on his list of worst covers of all time, describing the version as "all the more baffling".[39] Yard Barker's Jeff Mezydlo included "American Pie" on his list of "25 cover songs that totally missed the mark", and wrote that it "just sounded wrong, trying to bridge the gap between classic rock and modern-day pop that would broaden the song's already legendary appeal".[18]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Upon its release, "American Pie" became the most added song on radios in the United States.[40] Despite not being released commercially, it was able to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 43 due to strong radio airplay, on the issue dated February 19, 2000.[41][42] The single was the highest debut of the week, becoming the 33rd of the 44 singles Madonna had on the chart to earn the honor.[42] It eventually reached number 29 two weeks later on the week of March 4, 2000, becoming the singer's 40th top 40 hit on the chart, tying her with Marvin Gaye in eighth place among acts with the most top 40 hits.[43] "American Pie" also topped the Dance Club Songs and reached number 16 on the Mainstream Top 40 component charts.[44][45] In Canada, the song peaked at number four on the RPM Singles Chart, on the week of April 3, 2000,[46] while topping the country's chart compiled by Nielsen Soundscan.[47]

In the United Kingdom, "American Pie" became Madonna's ninth number-one single, extending her record of most chart-topping singles by a female artist in the region.[48] In 2017, the Official Charts Company stated the song had sold 400,000 copies in the United Kingdom, becoming her 16th best-selling single to date.[49] It also topped the charts in several European countries, including Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland.[50][51][52][53][54] The single's successful performance in Europe helped the song reach the summit of the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart.[55] "American Pie" also became a success in Oceania, topping the charts in Australia, while reaching number four in New Zealand.[56][57]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "American Pie" was directed by Philipp Stölzl, with photography direction by Fredrik Callinggård and John Mathieson.[58] Madonna filmed her scenes in London, where she was living at the time.[59] It had its premiere on February 11, 2000 on MTV;[40] before its release, Madonna demanded scenes which showed her "seductively" pulling down her jeans, revealing her buttocks, to be omitted from the final product.[60] The video depicts Madonna and Everett dancing in front of a large American flag; it also shows a diverse array of ordinary Americans, including scenes showing same-sex couples kissing.[61] Gerald Biggerstaff of Instinct magazine wrote that the product was "ahead of its time showing same-sex couples kissing and holding hands at a time when the country was divided on gay and lesbian relations", also portraying a "diversity of Americans in the video at a time before the Bush/Gore debacle".[62] The video was nominated for Best Cinematography at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Macy Gray's "Do Something".[63] It was later added to Madonna's 2009 video compilation Celebration: The Video Collection.[64]
