American Pie (song)
American singer Madonna released a cover version of the song in March 2000 to promote the soundtrack of her film "The Next Best Thing" (2000), with the song being serviced to radio on February 2. Her cover is much shorter than the original (it contains only the beginning of the first verse and all of the second and sixth verses) and was recorded as a dance-pop song. It was co-produced by Madonna and William Orbit and released on the singer's Maverick label, after Rupert Everett (Madonna's co-star in "The Next Best Thing") had convinced her to cover the song for the film's soundtrack. It was latter added as a bonus track to her album, "Music".
