Give It To Me, Shake, Get Down, Time To Dance, Wild Dancing, Let's Go Dancing,
We Are The Gods, Cosmic Climb, On The Street, Oh My!
In 1981, Madonna took a job singing back-up for avant garde German artist Otto Von Wernherr. She lent her vocals to three of his songs, "Wild Dancing", "Cosmic Climb", and "We Are The Gods". Her actual participation on the tracks was minimal consisting of repetitive chorus lines behind Otto's monotone, spoken, flat and German accented vocals. When Madonna hit the big time, he remixed the songs to bring Madonna's voice out to the front of the mixes and released them on the UK label, Receiver Records which is now marketed as the package "Madonna (& Otto Von Wernherr) In The Beginning" and features extended dance mixes of the songs. The tracks are horrific and his countless re-releases and picture discs are a rip-off. If you're a completist collector, you'll want to have one version of it, but other than that, stay away!.
