I wanted to hate this album really bad because of the violent nature of that Richard Tracy television program that was brought to life through the magic of the big screen. I just couldn't though. There was something about the lyrics "Like hanky panky (hanky panky), Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)" that when repeated 30 times in a single song had me actually desiring a good spanky...just not from Madonna. Soon after the spanking song is over you get about 6 or 7 filler songs that I don't even remember being in the movie. A few of these songs has Madonna singing in a voice that to me sounds a bit like a person using an intentionally fake racist accent. The album has one more minor hit with "sooner or later." This crap album sold double platinum in quite a few different countries including the United States. "How?" you might ask. Because Madonna is a genius and released the single "Vogue" on this stink album. This song is one of her best selling and most covered songs. Around six months later she included the same song on her "The Immaculate Collection" greatest hits album. I wonder how many people happily set their Dick Tracy CD on fire and threw it off a freeway bridge. The only reason I am giving this album 2.5 is because I had fun listening to it...it just wasn't healthy fun.
