Madonna - Get Up Lyrics

Early Madonna, the best fase of her sound,now she is just trying to keep up young with botox and stay friendly helped by the silicone boobs and asses around. Sad cause she made such good songs until 1985/1987

just great. im in love with it!!

I wish they would have released this on Pre-Madonna.

She really belted her heart out on her early tracks. The song is very biographical. She went through some hard times during her early days in NYC. It explains her drive, passion, and hunger...

This is a fantastic song, should of been released!! Such a shame it wasn't!!? Still listening to this in 2019

WHO IS HERE AFTER HULU ?

This is a masterpiece. Great new wave sound. What a brilliant track 💘

So Gossip.

Really cool early work!

Who's here From Madonna and the Breakfast Club
2019 Documentary :D :D :D

i love this song

I love her voice here!

There's a hint of the famous Lucky Star synth at 2:34.

2019 anyone? Hyped for he new album by the Queen of Music 👌🙌

Terryfic lyrics so honest so Madonna... Queen of pop 😋 😎 😋

when she will be..gone, the company wili release all those demos and unreleased tracks on SPECIAL CD EDITION! like michael jackson :)

Fabulous!!!

This is probably her best un-released demo. I've been listening to her early stuff for the last 6 months. She's no Ann Wilson or Janis Joplin, but she definitely has an incredible under-rated voice. I think if she had done more rock instead of dance, she may get more credit. The bottom line is in my opinion, her un-released demos rate higher than some other careers from that era...(PA, JJ, CL for example).

super motivational Madonna song !!! I LOVE it !!!

Strangely, the past at 2:03 reminds me of the bridge for She’s Not Me from Hard Candy which was released 27 years later. She’s never one to waste it seems.

Why Madonna has so many unreleased songs?

I hear the hunger in her voice here. She was destined to rule.

Eh bien, ça envoie du lourd !
So "get up" and dance !

Queen ❤👑🎶

Quem tá ouvindo 2018 manda um oi

The Queen has a lot of pre fame demos!

they certainly don't make tracks this long of a duration anymore! I've been a Madonna fan since the age of 3years old, honestly thought I had all the raw songs that didn't get released, thought I heard them all! Never even knew this song existed. How can I buy this on cassette / record to add to my now incomplete collection! If only we had YouTube back in the day.

She's Madonna and done EVERYTHING by herself, including gathering the best producers and writing or co-writing 90% her own songs and from NOTHING to a billion dollar girl, like the so called american dream goes

Oh Madonna, please go back to basics

This song relates to my life rn.

Madonna was a brilliant dark horse. X

Que voz gostosa Madonna💙

Wow! Never heard this before. It’s quite good, but doesn’t quite fit with her debut album.

Thanks for sharing this and the info behind this gem! Well read.

Who's here in 2018?! Queen of Music. 🔥

Here in 2019!!!

I Love Madonna First Song Pick Your Self Ground So Get Up

Lo que diferenció a Madonna en sus inicios con todo el resto de cantantes que habían,fue haber Sido punk,eso le dió respeto en la escena musical del momento y hasta el día de hoy mantiene una actitud punk frente a la vida ," el punk es una cultura ,no solo un estilo musical "

Today girls have NO grass roots connection to music, real culture or the heritage with which Madonna was born into.
Madonna has a deeper understanding of art, the underground clubs of New York and gay bars of Detroit. Her in crowd reads like a bible of culture; Fab 5 Five Freddy, Warhol, Basquait, Harring, Grace Jones, Nile Rogers.
These kids, they just play dress up!

Love this song! ❤️

She probably sang this on her 'Fame' audition, lol.....very fitting for the times....

Or on her Footloose film audition. Madonna lost both roles to the actress Lori Singer

All those dumb ass labels that wouldn't sign her. They missed out big time.

love it so much!

Emocionante! I Love you Madonna queen

this is fascinating

Kind of Blondie Debbie Harry influenced like the AUTOAMERICAN album..

This has a Blondie-feel. I love Madonna she's great

I LOVE YOU MADONNA! MY IDOL! THE BEST POP ARTIST WHO HAS EVER BEEN ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bursting with such rawness, emotion and longing. One of my most loved Madonna pieces. The real street life and struggle Madonna lived when she moved to new York is expressed with such realness in her vocals on Get Up, just beautiful xoxoxoxoxo

Even her Demo's were on fire! Quintessential 80s,very Chrissy Hyde,Blondie. You can hear Betty Davis Eyes at the end! Love..Love this ..slays big time!

Me encanta...!! No paro de cantar :)

love it!

in a interview she admitted to had been raped. can u imagine Madonna been raped thats crazy

After she arrived to NYC in 1978, she was forced by a man to do to him oral sex.
This was what I read many years ago on a interview she gave to Lucy O'Brien.

She was a young woman alone in the city without much money. I can see these things happening. NYC was a jungle back then. I'm surprised she did as well as she did.

why wasn't this on Madonna's 1st record? Really good.

Too rock n roll too pat benatar wd've never worked

there's only so much room on a record

Because it hasn’t the hit potential that other songs have. If you listen to her first album carefully, the songs included there have the remained disco/soul/funk vibe in fashion back in 1983. So this song, although it is a great one, doesn’t fit. However you can hear somewhere a snippet of the guitar riff from “Everybody”.

Pablo DeMode I feel like this could’ve been big in the mid or late 70s tho

Thank you uploader for explaining why these songs weren't released. I always wondered.

1st time Madonna did rap.
Later Vogue (1990) & American Life, Mother and Father (2003) would be entitled to Madonna doing a rap.

SWEET !!!!!!!!

In all that is a little autobiographic about her, she has always shouted that the sun was dying of cold for her. She became a little boring because of that  (but I was fond of)

@toscano alexandre Autobiographic ok but what the sun has to do with it.

It's a french expression : make people believe thet the sun is cold

I love Get up

MADONNA DESEMPOLVA ESTA CANCION INCLUYELA EN TU NUEVO DISCO QUE URGE YA QUE LO SAQUES, QUEREMOS NUEVO DISCO CON PROMOTOUR , CON EDICION LIMITADA COMO EN LA ERA DE MUSIC,CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR, TE QUEREMOS MAS ALEGRE ,ACERCADA A SUS FANS , CADA VEZ TE VUELVES MAS FRIA Y DISTANTE AGRADECE QUE NOSOTROS TE DEDICAMOS TIEMPO PARA ESCUCHAR TUS CANCIONES EN NUESTRAS VIDAS.

she sounded like a punk chick.. sooo cool!!! :D

She actually was you can find her albums with Madonna and the breakfast club in the late 70s

Because she was actually in a punk band in the late 70s

I always wanted to hear the full version of these songs after I heard them on the Madonna Exposed show and I like them.

THE ESSENCE OF THE ARTIST IS IN HER LEGACY.

but the so called rock that she is doing on this track has become today's pop music--this is hardly rock anymore; 90's grunge forever changed the trajectory of that.

Kenny Fame It sounds new wave pop to me 👍🏻

Whats amazing, If you listen closely around 4:15 mark, she starts to rap. Debbie Harry meets Grandmaster flash, I mean, it was 1981 after all. This song is a testament to her true artistic roots = 1980's Underground NYC art culture. The girl who made something out of nothing, and now rules the world. Camille Barbone, eat your heart out.

I was born the same year she recorded this? So, let me get this straight, she has been kicking music's ass for over 30 years? Damn, Madonna is awesome!

WHY this was NOT the first single is beyond me, it's INSANE!...

Sigh... Another early Madonna demo from 1981 that just RUINS ME sooo much. In my opinion THE most emotional and heartfelt lyrics and vocals Madonna has EVER put down *+* So inspiring beyond belief ... 'Get out of bed and you look in the mirror and the hate in your head doesn't get any clearer'... 'Your stomach's so empty and you need some food so you distract yourself but it just doesn't do any good'... Sigh...

haze - not hate

She doesn't sing hate. She sings Haze, as in waking up with a hangover.

MADONNA GOLD !

I've never heard her early tracks. Amazing! I think this song is so life-telling for her, makes me sad.

@whiteglenn69 i wud kill for Madonna to do an all rock album love wen she gets on the guitar at her concerts as a side note do bits of this song sound a bit like David Bowies Ashes to Ashes to anyone else???

Of all the "Gotham Sound' demos this song--an interesting meld of pop, rock, dance and new wave--is the one that seems most consistent with the songs from the eventual eponymous debut album. A very winning track. And the lyric, with it's self-preservation ethic, is "very Madonna." She's always about empowerment. What a delight to find this here. YouTube really is changing the way we live!

@whiteglenn69 she could've been an epic rocker! I'd rather see her do rock and acoustic then the dance... although she basically defined a decade of music. ... I just want rock, Madge!

He "rock" sounds like today's pop. I remember reading this terrible Tareborelly biography with "hard rock" being something like Guano Apes' Sandra. I'm shocked how commercial her songs sound now.

@hrbr1990 AGRREEE! THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!

What A Gem!

@whiteglenn69

WOuld LOVE that!

@TheNouveauxdecadence
I agree , a very thoughtful song . Its sounds very fresh though its 30 years old

It would be FANTASTIC if Madonna sung this live in the near future!! xD

Her voice in the early 80's was totally awesome!!

@whiteglenn69 - Amen! We need some more full-on rock Madonna.

@TheNouveauxdecadence i totally agree. i play it on my itunes frequently.

dude this shit is kick ass !

@whiteglenn69 I agree!

Was Madonna a New Waver before she was famous?

I absolutely adore this track. This should have been released! I think the lyrics are so inspirational and I really feel what she is saying when i listen to it. So powerful, makes me emotional +

Yup undisputed Queen of POP

I honestly love her musically.

that old madonna , from just a small singer to the queen of pop for 3 decades now . woooow

Is there a link, so i can download it ?

OMG!
I just LOVE that song!

the lyrics suck the tune is cool tho
