美國歌壇女皇［瑪丹娜］B面歌曲──大樂團／爵士／搖擺樂──［More／更多］

[BREATHLESS]

Once upon a time I had plenty of nothin—

Which was fine with me

Because I had rhythm, music, love

The sun, the stars, and the moon above

Had the clear blue sky and the deep blue sea

That was when the best things in life were free

Then time went by and now I got plenty of plenty—

Which is fine with me

Cause I still got love, I still got rhythm

But look at what I got to go with em!

"Who could ask for anything more?"

I hear you query

Who could ask for anything more?

Well, let me tell you

Dearie:

Got my diamonds, got my yacht

Got a guy I adore

Im so happy with what I got

I want more!

Count your blessings: one, two, three—

I just hate keeping score

Any number is fine with me

As long as its more!

As long as its more...

You might also like

Im no mathematician

All I know is addition

I find counting a bore

Keep the number mounting

Your accountant does the counting...

[GIRLS]

More! More!

(spoken)

Ooh!

[BREATHLESS]

I got rhythm, music too

Just as much as before

Got my guy and my sky of blue

Now, however, I own the view

More is better than nothing, true

But nothings better than

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More, more, more

[BREATHLESS]

Nothings better than

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More!

[BREATHLESS]

One is fun

Why not two?

And if you like two

You might as well have four

And if you like four

Why not a few?

Why not a slew

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More?

More!

[BREATHLESS]

If youve got a little

Why not a lot?

Add a bit and itll

Get to be an oodle

Every jot and tittle

Adds to the pot—

Soon youve got the kit

As well as the caboodle—

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More! More!

[BREATHLESS]

Never say when

Never stop at plenty—

If its gonna rain, let it pour

Happy with ten

Happier with twenty—

If you like a penny

Wouldnt you like many much

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More?

[BREATHLESS]

Or does that sound too greedy?

Thats not greed—no, indeedy

Thats just stocking the store

Gotta fill your cupboard—

Remember Mother Hubbard!

[GIRLS]

More! More!

[BREATHLESS]

Each possession you possess

Helps your spirits to soar

Thats whats soothing about excess—

Never settle for something less

Somethings better than nothing, yes—

But nothings better than

More, more, more—

[GIRLS]

Except all, all, all...

[BREATHLESS]

Except all, all, all...

Except once you have it all—

[GIRLS]

Have it all—

[BREATHLESS]

You may find all else above—

[GIRLS]

Else above—

[BREATHLESS]

That though "things" are bliss

Theres one thing you miss

And thats—

[BREATHLESS & GIRLS]

More! More!

More more more more more more more!!

美國歌手瑪丹娜（Madonna）自１９８４年成名以來，

雖然貴為歌壇天后　但進軍影壇卻踢到鐵板, 贏得票房毒藥之名

１９９０年６月　Buena Vista發行華倫比提主演的動作喜劇電影［Dick Tracy］

票房大賣　美國本土票房１.０３億美元  全球１.６２億美元

曲風以復古的爵士，搖擺和傳統流行為主，迥異以往．

樂評多數良好．

瑪丹娜當時說道：「我希望人們把我視為音樂喜劇演員。這張專輯對我來說就是關於這個的。這是一種突破。不僅僅是流行音樂，而是具有不同感覺、戲劇感的歌曲．」

［I’m Breathless］商業表現亦佳，登上：

美國Billboard專輯榜亞軍──２白金唱片（２００萬張＋）（1990年度#42）

１９９０年６月底　近３２歲的瑪丹娜發行第二主打［Hanky Panky／愚弄］

［Hanky Panky］登上美國單曲榜＃１０　拿到金唱片（５０萬張＋　）

B面歌曲為專輯曲目［More／更多］

由名劇作家Stephen Sondheim創作，

瑪丹娜與Patrick Leonard製作成一首融合大樂團／爵士／搖擺樂

這是瑪丹娜的隱藏復古佳作之一．
