Madonna - Into the groove (Live at JFK Stadium Philadelphia - July 13th 1985 - Live Aid)

"Into the Groove" is a song released as a single on July 23, 1985 by Warner Bros. Records, supporting the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. The song later appeared on the 1985 European re-issue of her second studio album, Like a Virgin, and was also included on her 2009 greatest hits album, Celebration.
Madonna had written the song for her friend Mark Kamins' protégée, Chyne. Kamins made Madonna record a demo of the song, which he wished to modify later for Chyne. However, Madonna believed that the song would be more suitable for her film Desperately Seeking Susan, and re-recorded it with Bray, making it suitable for the soundtrack. When Kamins came to know about it, he was furious that Madonna did not have the courtesy to tell him that she wanted the song for a different purpose. He felt walked over by Madonna who retorted: "I'm tough, I'm ambitious and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, that's okay."
Ultimately Madonna won and the song was added to the soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan. The music video was made up of clips from the film, with the lyrics often matching the images. Doug Dowdle of Parallax Productions, a company that pioneered in movie tie-in music videos during the 1980s, created this video from edited footage of the movie, directed by Susan Seidelman. This was done, because already five Madonna videos were on power rotation on MTV, and Warner Bros. did not want the audience to be saturated with any new video. Hence, they decided to use the shots from the film and made a music video.
During a 2009 interview with Rolling Stone, Madonna commented "'Into the Groove' is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it."
