It takes a special kind of talent to turn a song into a 'musical abortion'. Strangely, Kelly Osbourne doesn't have that, or any other, talent. And yet she still managed to turn this Madonna single into something resembling drunken monkey vomit being spit up by an elephant with the flu.
Released by Madonna in 1996 as the second single from her third album 'True Blue', the lyrics depicted a teenage girl who becomes pregnant and decides to keep the child. The controversial topic contributed to the single's success, as it reached number 1 in countless markets and on numerous charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 100 Airplay in the USA, and the singles charts in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Italy, and Australia.
Osbourne released the song as her debut single from the album 'Shut Up' in 2002. It managed to-through some unworldly reason-reach number 3 in both the UK and Australian Singles charts.
There apparently were whispers making the rounds that her version was about her famous father, Ozzy. Unless Ozzy became a pregnant teenage girl at some point and kept his (her?) baby, I doubt it. I mean, really...
