I always knew Madonna was a superhero--and here she is once again coming to save the day! With J.T. the Boy Wonder chanting her name in the background!! This, as you know, helps her channel her powers. Give her a Peron-worthy mob of adoring fans all chanting her name, and she could move the Houses of Parliament to the other side of the Thames simply with her iron will.
This is one of those songs for which I would not want to see the official lyrics even if they had them. For example, is she saying "you intervention" or "U.N. invention"? I know it's probably the former, but given the global stakes here it definitely could be the latter.
N.B.: Depending on which mix of this single you listen to, the world is either saved in 3 minutes and 52 seconds or 4 minutes and 10 seconds. In other words, 4 minutes was a pretty good guesstimate there, Madge. Shalom.
