== Pre-stardom recordings 1979-1981 ==
Shoji defeated Mott by submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:47 of round 1.
=== With various New York rock bands ===
* '''(I Like) Love For Tender''', '''No Time For Love''', '''Bells Ringing''' and '''Drowning''' are all featured on Madonna's studio [[Demo (music)|demo]] tape with the band Emmy and the Emmy's in 1980.
 
==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[William Roosmalen]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Ralph White]]===
Other Emmy tracks such as '''Simon Says''' are not included here because they were either live recordings or already legally released on a small indie label. They belong listed on the [[Madonna discography]] page. '''NOTE''': A studio version of '''Simon Says''' is actually included on the Shamrock Tape. See below for corrected track listing.
William Roosmalen defeated Ralph White by KO (knee to the body).
 
==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[Kazushi Sakuraba]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Vernon White]]===
* '''Hothouse Flower'''; and '''Simon Says'''; and '''I Got Trouble (Roll Over It)'''; and '''Tell The Truth'''; and '''Oh Oh (The Sky Is Blue)'''; and '''Nobody Wants To Be Alone (Once I thought I was Good)'''; and '''Well Well''' - early recordings recorded on "Shamrock" reel-to-reel tape. Recently auctioned to private owner. '''Tell The Truth''' was the very first song Madonna ever recorded (with the help of Dan Gilroy of the band the Breakfast Club). In 2005 Madonna sang the chorus of '''Tell The Truth''' during an interview with Parkinson on UK TV.
Sakuraba defeated White by submission (armbar) at 6:53 of round 3.
 
==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Renzo Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Sanae Kikuta]]===
* '''We Live In A House''' Written by [[Joshua Braun]], [[Janis Galloway]] and Madonna in [[1982]]. US [[copyright registration]]# PAu-1-843-482. It was recorded with the group [[Spinal Root Gang]] after Madonna's roommate [[Janis Galloway]] introduced her to them. Janis Galloway later became the wife of [[Michael Rosenblatt]] from Warner Brother's. The song seems to be a social statement about the ignorant masses who remain at home rather than to pay attention to the world around them outside. Sample lyric "We live in a house, and people just don't care. We live in a house, they don't go anywhere". Madonna screams at one point "You can't come into my house". The guitar sounds are a little like the B-52's meets New Order and the Ramones.
Gracie defeated Kikuta by submission (guillotine choke) at :43 round 6.
 
==={{flagicon| TRI}} [[Gary Goodridge]] vs. {{flagicon| BRA}} [[Marco Ruas]]===

The former is of no connection to the identically-titled [[2004]] [[Frankee]] single release. (Suspicious entry needs supporting documentation, such as link to article, or interview. Said ''auction house'' was not located online or in Vegas directory).
Ruas defeated Goodridge by submission (Heel Hook) at 9:09 of round 1.

* '''I'm a real disco queen''' It's always been reported that Madonna never recorded any demo with 70's French disco king [[Patrick Hernandez]], but we know now as it has been recently revealed that she actually recorded this demo. The two Belgian producers of the song, Jean Van Lieu and Jean-Claude Pellerin are supposed to be the only ones to own the demo. It has never leaked and remains very rare. This was confirmed by Madonna herself in an 1984 interview with [[Molly Meldrum]] but it was cut at the final montage [source needed for this statement]. Madonna has never talked about it since. [[Patrick Hernandez]] released the song in 1980 and changed the title to '''she's a disco queen'''.

* '''I Want You''' and '''Love On The Run''' and '''Get Up''' and '''High Society''' A [[Pat Benatar]] style pop-rock Madonna [[Demo (music)|demo]] produced under the direction of Madonna's first manager [[Camille Barbone]] of August Artists Ltd and Gotham Sound Studios in [[New York City]] with guitarist [[Jon Gordon]] in 1981. All four of these tracks have leaked on the internet in high quality.

* '''Shake Your Head (Let's Go To Bed)''' Madonna lead vocal recorded with Don and David Was for the [[Was (Not Was)]] album "Born To Laugh At Tornadoes" produced in Detroit 1982-83. The released vocal used was by [[Ozzy Osbourne]] with backing vocals by [[Kathy Kosins]] and Carol Hall. Madonna and [[John "Jellybean" Benitez]] are both in the album credits. During a May 2006 Kathy Kosins phone interview with Bruce Baron it was revealed that Ozzy recorded his vocal first. Kathy and Carol added vocals in Detroit. Kathy's vocals were intended to be replaced by Madonna by producer Don Was. Madonna's label [[Sire Records]] did not agree to the release and Kathy's vocal was restored for the [[ZE Records]] release as a backing track. Kathy then became a longtime Was (not Was) contributor. Madonna originally became involved via her firendship with Stephen Bray and his group Breakfast Club who were also signed with ZE Records (later acquired into MCA). Madonna requested that her original vocal not be used in an early [[1990s]] [[remix]] released as a single in [[Europe]] to support a Was (Not Was) Greatest Hits album. [[Kim Basinger]] did the new vocals.

* '''Sidewalk Talk''' Written by Madonna for former producer and boyfriend John "Jellybean" Benitez. The 1983 commercially released version features vocalist [[Catherine Buchanan]] on lead and Madonna singing on the chorus and bridge. The original demo version with Madonna on the lead vocal remains unreleased and was produced with [[Stephen Bray]] as confirmed by interview.
 
== Early career recordings 1982-1989 ==
=== The First Madonna self-titled debut album ===
See [[Madonna (1983 album)]] to view the original unused artwork for what was originally called the "Lucky Star" album.
 
The original [[1980s]] demo tapes that Stephen Bray still owns from Madonna's first several albums were heat treated in an oven in the [[1990s]] to drive out moisture and prevent their destruction by "sticky shed syndrome" during transfer to the DAT format. Bray told this to Bruce Baron via phone just after the 1999 Goldmine interview article went to print. This salvage process is common for many defective audio tapes made by [[Ampex]] and other brands who were forced to abruptly change chemical formulas by government safety regulations during the period of Madonna's early career. See article [http://www.tangible-technology.com/tape/baking1.html If I Knew You Were Coming I’d Have Baked A Tape!]
 
* '''Ain't No Big Deal''' The released version was produced by [[Reggie Lucas]] in [[1982]] and appeared as the [[B-side]] of her "True Blue" single in [[1986]]. Originally intended to be Madonna's first single. Three more separate unreleased studio versions were also produced each by [[Mark Kamins]], [[Stephen Bray]] and [[John "Jellybean" Benitez]]. They were all shelved by Sire Records when the song was recorded and released in 1983 by the female [[disco]] act [[Barracuda]] on 12" vinyl [[Epic Records]] release 49-04264. Credited as written only by Stephen Bray due to a publisher contract with July 4th Music. It was actually a Madonna co-write so she took sole writing credit for "Everybody" in trade.
"Ain't No Big Deal" was in the record "Revenge of the Killer B's".
* '''Physical Attraction''' US copyright registration PAu-484-430 from February 1983 credits words and music created in 1982 only to Madonna as sole author as does April 1983 publisher transfer registration PAu-506-929. Producer [[Reggie Lucas]] is not credited as the sole author of this song until 1984 registration PA-210-598 for the 12" commercial single release for the work created and published in 1983 and has been the only credited song writer since.
 
* '''Writer's Block''' Listed in the MCPS-PRS database as being written by Madonna and [[Rick Warren]] for the [[1984]] TV show ''Cover Up'' starring [[Jon Erik-Hexum]] and [[Jennifer O'Neill]]. Richard wrote many TV themes at the time. IMDB.com shows an episode by this name which first aired on [[24 November]] 1984 (Season 1, Episode 7) without crediting either Madonna or Rick Warren.
 
=== The ''Vision Quest Soundtrack'' album===
* '''Gambler''' According to Stephen Bray interview 1999 there was an original demo produced by himself and Madonna. The released version of "Gambler" was produced by Jellybean Benitez.
 
* '''Crazy For You''' Written by [[John Bettis]] and [[Jon Lind]]. The released version of the mega hit was produced by Jellybean. Before the Benitez version was finalized, arranger [[Rob Mounsey]] came in and re-arranged the song. There were also some minor cuts to the lyrics.
 
* '''Warning Signs''' The third Madonna song recorded for the soundtrack to the film "[[Vision Quest]]" but never used. It remains unheard by the public to this day. A collaboration with [[Stephen Bray]] from [[1984]]. US [[copyright]] registration# PAu-590-962. Bray describes it as a cool synth track. The lyric sheet reveals the opening intro as "I see danger up ahead", "Warning (echo), Warning (echo)". Chorus is "Warning I see danger up ahead. I can see it in your eyes, and it's really no surprise. Because, I can see your warning signs".
 
=== The ''Like A Virgin'' album ===
* '''Title uncertain''' [[Simon Le Bon]] of the group [[Duran Duran]] mentioned in a mid-1980s interview for the BBC TV show "Breakfast" that Madonna did backing vocals for them that were never released. Her vocal would probably be on one of several [[Duran Duran]] recordings from 1984&ndash;1985 produced by [[Nile Rodgers]]. Nile also produced the "[[Like A Virgin]]" album. The exact title of Madonna's unreleased contribution was not mentioned in the interview, but it could be "[[The Reflex]]" or "[[The Wild Boys (single)|Wild Boys]]". Her previously unreleased vocal cameo on "Promises, Promises" by [[Naked Eyes]] was finally released on a recent Naked Eyes Greatest Hits collection.
 
On [[Duran Duran]]'s official website in the 'Ask Katy' section the band members denied that Madonna ever recorded backing vocals on any of their tracks.

*'''Desperately Seeking Susan''' Written by Madonna and [[Stephen Bray]]. Unreleased title track for the [[Orion Pictures]] movie of the same name according to former Madonna collaborator [[Stephen Bray]] from 1999 interview. This is a completely different song from the huge hit 1985 "Into The Groove", also from the film. To confuse things further, another "[[Desperately Seeking Susan]]" title song was written by [[Michael Bramon]]. Michael's sister, [[Risa Bramon Garcia]] worked with the movies casting and he got a small part in the film as "a band member". In the end "Into The Groove" overshadowed both "Susan themes" and both were shelved.
 
*''' Shoo-Bee-Doo, Angel, Over And Over''' Original demos produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray according to 1999 Bray interview. Released versions are [[Nile Rodgers]] studio productions. Pre-Warner Madonna demos of "Stay" produced with Stephen Bray were already been released on the indie 1997 album "Pre-Madonna" as found in elements from the songs "Stay 1981" and "Don't You Know".
 
=== The ''True Blue'' album ===
* '''Working My Fingers To The Bone''' and '''Pipeline''' Recorded with frequent collaborator [[Stephen Bray]]. Confirmed by 1999 Bray interview in Goldmine Magazine.
 
* '''Title(s) Unknown''' - Musician Fred Zarr said in an interview with Mark Bego in the book Blonde Ambition (1992, Harmony Books) that he tried to write 2-3 songs with Madonna around the time of "Papa Don't Preach", but they were never finished.
 
* '''Each Time You Break My Heart''' Written and produced by Madonna and [[Stephen Bray]]. Later given to singer/model [[Nick Kamen]] to record instead. His version with Madonna backing vocals was a big hit in Europe (Germany reaching number 1, UK reaching number 5 in November 1986). Madonna's version is a unreleased demo with the identical music as found on the Nick Kamen release according to Steve Bray 1999 interview. Update 20.6.06: On hearing Madonna's demo, the music is actually completely different to the version released by Nick Kamen. It is very simple, and brings clearly to mind her post- "Like a virgin"/pre-"True blue" days, songcraft and production.
 
* '''Love Over The Phone''' Written by Madonna and actor Don Johnson. Discussed by Madonna herself in a French and German magazine interview in August 1987. At this time [[Don Johnson]] was dating [[Barbra Streisand]] who also was rumoured in the media to have discussed with Madonna the possibility of covering an old standard as a duet.
 
* '''Spotlight''' Original version 1985 US copyright registration PAu-716-379 written in 1984 solely by Curtis Hudson. Sung by Lisa Stevens of the disco group [[Pure Energy]]. Stevens demo version sounds remarkably like "Holiday" which she also co-wrote. Madonna and [[Stephen Bray]] changed lyrics and music to this in 1985 via copyright registration PAu-924-278. This was included on the 1987 Madonna remix EP "You Can Dance". The Lisa Stevens original vocal is sung in a deeper, funkier vibe. The demo also has a different rhythm and chorus melody. Sample lyric "Spotlight shine on me, spotlight shine on you. Be what you want to be, do what you want to do." and "Spotlight shine so bright, spotlight shine tonight".
 
* '''Title Unknown''' A song written for [[Bryan Ferry]]. As Madonna mentioned in an interview with Denis Taranto. This would coincide with the timeline of Bryan Ferry's work with frequent Madonna collaborator [[Patrick Leonard]] on the 1987 album Bete Noir. No Madonna contribution was included.
 
=== The ''Like A Prayer'' album ===
* '''Possessive Love''' Written and recorded with [[Patrick Leonard]], Madonna and Jai Winding. Madonna's original demo was given to singer [[Marilyn Martin]] for her to record. The single was released by Atlantic Records but did not do very well 1988. ASCAP title code #460268111
 
* '''By Alien Means''' Written by [[Prince Rogers Nelson|Prince]], in 1988, circa the time of the Madonna/Prince released "Love Song" collaboration. Reportedly sent to Madonna for her to record or add on to. This Prince demo song does exist, but there is little evidence of an actual Madonna contribution at any point in time. US [[copyright]] registration# PAu-1-152-963. The song appears to be about asking young people not to commit suicide. Sample lyric is "Explore the interplanetary space between your mind. Don't go out by alien means". ASCAP title code# 320643596, APRA id# GW27509334
 
* '''Love Attack''' and '''First Is A Kiss''' Two songs Madonna recorded and produced with [[Stephen Bray]] for the "Like A Prayer" album but were never used and remain unreleased. In 1989 Madonna talked in a German magazine about '''First Is A Kiss''': It's about the Friends she lost because of AIDS. Possibly an early version of "In This Life".
 
* '''Express Yourself''' and '''Keep It Together''' (original demo versions). Co-writer Stephen Bray indicated in his [http://www.buysellmadonna.com/bruce.htm 1999 Goldmine magazine interview] that he preferred the original demo of "Express Yourself" to the released version.
 
* '''Just A Dream''' (original Madonna demo) Written by Madonna and [[Patrick Leonard]]. Given later to her long-time backing vocalist [[Donna DeLory]] for her MCA self-titled debut solo album. Madonna does appear on backing vocals, but the original Madonna lead vocal recording remains unreleased. DeLory's version did manage to crack the US Dance Club Play Chart.
 
== Mid-career recordings 1990-1996 ==
=== The ''I'm Breathless and The Immaculate Collection'' albums ===
* '''Dick Tracy''' Written by [[Patrick Leonard]]. This did not appear on the "I'm Breathless" album. [[ASCAP]] title code# 340325268 . Another "Dick Tracy" performed by Madonna is listed in the APRA database id code# GW04472893 and was written solely by [[Daniel Elfman]].
 
* '''Dog House''' Another title reported in [[Billboard magazine]] circa 1990 for the film ''[[Dick Tracy (movie)|Dick Tracy]]''.
 
* '''Hanky Panky (raunchier version)''' Madonna mentioned in an interview that she had to modify her lyrics to this song because it was part of a Disney project.
 
* '''Various "Dick Tracy" demos''' - Leaked on 7" bootleg vinyl in the early-1990s at record collector shows under the name of "MA-HONEY". Rehearsal sound quality is rather poor and the printed jacket tracklisting was incorrect and is corrected as follows '''I Always Get My Man''' (actually '''Sooner Or Later'''), '''More''', '''I Always Get My Man''' (actually''' Sooner Or Later'''), '''What Can You Get''' (actually '''What Can You Lose''', sung by Madonna only without her duet partner [[Mandy Patinkin]]).
 
* '''To Love You''' Written by Madonna and [[Andy Paley]]. Listed in the Warner-Chappel database but remains unreleased.
 
* '''Get Over''' Recorded with [[Stephen Bray]] around the time of the Immaculate Collection. Madonna's demo version remains unreleased. The song was later recorded and released by actor/model [[Nick Scotti]] with Madonna backing vocals produced by Madonna and [[Shep Pettibone]] for the film "Nothing But Trouble" in 1992. Listed as song #301415 in the CMRRA database. Nick's released 1993 debut album version was again re-produced by Andres Levin and Cammus Mare Celli with Madonna retaining co-writer and backing vocalist credit.
 
=== The ''Erotica'' album ===
* '''Dear Father''' An unreleased collaboration with [[Andre Betts]] and [[Mic Murphy]] (former member of duo [[The System (band)]]). Supposedly an uptempo dance track. The song appears in the EMI Music publishing database and in the UK based MCPS system. APRA id# GW09823950.
 
* '''Love Hurts''' - A unique song title listed in the discography of producer/remixer [[Junior Vasquez]]. Possibly an early version of what later became "Erotica". See [http://www.juniorvasquezmusic.com/studio/discographyt.asp?nav_letter=L&offset=0 Junior Vasquez Music Site]
 
* '''Throb''' The existence of this so called Madonna song is questionable since a [[Janet Jackson]] song of the same title surfaced shortly after this early-1990s media report.
 
* '''Freak''' may have been related to the eventually released "Rescue Me". '''Out To Lunch/Eating Out''', '''Show And Tell''', and '''Smoked Too Many Cigarettes''' may have been early versions of/or related to the released songs "Where Life Begins", "Secret Garden", and "Bad Girl" since they have similar lyric implications. These titles were originally reported in various international magazines in the early-1990s but later did not appear.
 
* '''Why It's So Hard''' (alternate demo version). Contains a rum induced reggae rap by Jamaiki which was later scraped. This does not appear on the "Rain" demo sent to the copyright office but it is mentioned by Shep Pettibone in the [http://www.madonna-online.ch/m-online/interviews/interview-sites/92-10_the-erotica-diaries.htm Erotica Diaries] from the same recording sessions.
 
=== '''The ''Rain'' Tapes''' ===
The Shep Pettibone collaborative songs in this section from the Erotica album sessions appear registered with the U.S. copyright office together on the same two 90-minute cassette tapes and is listed as the "Rain" tapes. All the info and descriptions were done by '''Bruce Baron''' who wrote the 1999 Goldmine article on Madonna's unreleased material. Baron had the chance to go into The [[Library of Congress]] and listen to most of the tracks. See [http://www.madonna-online.ch/m-online/interviews/interview-sites/92-10_the-erotica-diaries.htm Erotica Diaries article from 1992 at Madonna-online.ch] for background.

S.Pettibone/M. Ciccone/T.Shimkin
 
* '''Deeper and Deeper''' (alternate demo version) U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-634. Has slightly different arrangements than the released version. This version is missing the Latin guitar break which Shep told ''EQ magazine'' that he hated and that Madonna insisted on in the released version. This one might be closer to his original vision with the house pattern. The end is a little different using the same released lyrics but the music goes on for much longer.
 
* '''You Are The One''' U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-636. Completely unreleased in any format. Song from Erotica album sessions not used on the album. The lyrics are rather forgettable such as "You are the one for me", "I have chosen you". The sound is very dance/club/house. As with "Shame" it would have been redundant to include it on the album. It was abandoned at the demo stage.
 
*'''Shame ''' U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-637. Completely unreleased in any format. Song from Erotica album sessions not used on the album. In the song Madonna talks down to the object character of the song (or perhaps the listener). This is part of the developing Dita persona of the album that we did not get to see. The song opens with a spoken intro "Look what you have done with your life, it's such a shame". Later she says "Anyone can learn to fly" as if she is asking why haven't you learned to do it yet. She also says "You're the one to blame". The chorus starts with "It's a Shaaaaaame" which sounds an awful a lot like the song of the same title and time period by [[Monie Love]]. This is possbily the source of the old rumour that she and Madonna were going to do something together. The similarity ends there, and then Madonna's "Shame" demo breaks off into its own unique melody.
 
* '''Goodbye To Innocence''' Alternate version written and produced by Madonna, [[Shep Pettibone]] and Tony Shimkin. U.S. [[copyright]] registration# PAu-1-605-640. This is very different from the commercially released version which appeared on the various artists collection "Just Say Roe" and the single B-side of "Fever". The unreleased demo versions use the same theme and many of the same lyrics, but everything is switched around. It is a different vocal recording (strong-and-clear unlike the commercial mix). Much of the song's melody is different including the chorus. The arrangement is pure pop-funk-dance, no club remix style here.
 
* '''Actions Speak Louder Than Words''' (two alternate demo versions) Are without the eastern instrument found in the released version simply called "Words". Instead the synth keys that are found at the end of the commercial mix are used during the chorus. There is also a subtle guitar-like sound. Additional lyrics include "Your love is for fools", and "You're so cruel". The backing vocals and bridge arrangements are slightly different. U.S. copyright office registration PAu-1-605-641.
 
* '''Erotica''' (unreleased demo). Possibly the source of the fan rumoured song '''"You Thrill Me"''' (fan assigned slang title). A 3:17 a cappella clip of the alternate lyrics can be found on the internet. A lot of fans call this version '''You Thrill Me''' since these words are contained in the alternate lyrics. Madonna encoroporated this demo into the version of Erotica that she performed on her 2006 Confessions Tour. U.S. copyright registration PAu-1-605-642. It is significantly different from the released album version. The verse lyrics are mostly the ones that we know from "Erotic" which was included as a bonus CD with the book "Sex". There is no trace of the familiar chorus lyric "Erotic, Erotic, put your hands all over my body". Instead Madonna sings a different chorus line with a different melody in the same type of voice that ends with the line:
:"....You are who you are....and I
:Wouldn't want to change a thing...in spite of
:All the pain that love can bring...
:Tell me, what can I do? I'm so in love with you.
:You thrill me, surround me, you fill me
:You send me, you put me in a trance
:You fill me, inside of me, take me
:You thrill me, you put me in a trance.
 
The word "Erotica" appears only in the introduction. The instrumentation is approximately the same as the commercial mix but the released mix is more unique sounding, more complex and exotic.
 
An interesting fan-made version leaked on the end of 2006, on many fan-site thanks to Jack_Twist member. It contains the previously unheard before double voice of the "You thrill Me" (and the so long wished words "and I", "in spite of" and so on) and many other alternate vocals, that were eventually deleted when Erotica final version came out. It was actually made by merging the unreleased acappellas [the same used by Ralphi in his famous remix) and the Instrumental of Erotica.
 
* '''Jitterbug''' (song fragment, about 30-45 seconds) Included on the same Erotica demo sessions cassette tape submitted buy Shep Pettibone to the U.S. copyright office as his other "Rain" album songs. It was mostly taped over, but showed up between two of the other tracks. It is listed on the handwritten tape label, but it has no copyright registration of its own. The title was originally spelled with a "G", but was written over darker with a "J" in blue ink. It features typical generic Shep Pettibone dance music with Madonna finishing up with "Jitterbug, Jitterbug". She stops singing but the music continues. She says into the microphone "Ya, that one has some good ideas to it". The music still continues, and she says "How long is this one going to go on"? The music still continues and she finally demands "Isn't anyone going to turn this d*** thing off"? It abruptly ends.
 
* '''Thief Of Hearts''' (alternate demo versions) Use slightly different intro, bridge and outro arrangements. One version has what we know at the end of the song placed at the beginning. One uses the voice of a southern black woman to say the line "sit your a** down" instead of Madonna herself as done on the commercial release. U.S. copyright registration# PAu-1-605-643
 
=== '''''A League Of Their Own''''' Soundtrack ===
* '''This Used To Be My Playground (original demo)''' - The [http://reubania.blogspot.com/2005/03/erotica-diary.html Erotica Diaries] say that 15 songs were recorded in demo form with Shep Pettibone during the [[Erotica (album)]] sessions. The last song recorded and then re-recorded was "[[This Used To Be My Playground]]" which was then used in the film "[[A League of Their Own]]". This means that Madonna's first vocal remains unreleased.
 
=== The ''Bedtime Stories'' album ===
''As pertains to the Shep collaborations, Pettibone revealed in an interview (which needs to be sourced) that the material was inspired by [[The Spinners]] (whose [[Philly soul]] work with [[Thom Bell]] was anthologised by [[Atlantic Records]] in 1992). This perhaps gives more of a unified musical description for these songs, and as usual, puts Madonna ahead of the pack (Philly soul and [[Salsoul]] received a major revival in the mid 1990's).''
*'''Something's Coming Over Me''' - The original unreleased version of the song "Secret" written and produced with [[Shep Pettibone]] and then abandoned. US [[copyright]] registration# PAu-1-889-253. This was done very much in the same dance style as "Vogue" with an erotic "Love To Love You Baby" [[Donna Summer]] type theme. This version does not have the downbeat guitar R&B vibe of the released song. During the unique bridge of the unreleased demo the music drops out and Madonna speaks "I see your love coming down, let it wash all over me". Then the bass and the drum kick back up in club anthem style where she sings "Somethings coming over me, over me, over me, over me." Shep Pettibone later did get co-writing credit for "Secret" due to this initial work which he did not originally get when the album "Bedtime Stories" was first released in 1994.
 
* '''I Will Always Have You''' - The original unreleased version of what became the released song "Inside Of Me" recorded with [[Shep Pettibone]] and then abandoned. US [[copyright]] registration# PAu-1-889-251. This quality power ballad sounds more like the familiar style of "Crazy For You" or "You'll See" than what later became the soft lullaby like released version. The released song's theme is all about Madonna cherishing the memory of a loved one, but in this demo she also wants to be the object of the song to also be remembered. The words "inside of me" are hardly used but many of the same lyrics are switched around. The melody is significantly different than the released version. There is also a subtle wind instrument, perhaps a synth flute.
 
* '''Love Won't Wait''' (original 1994 demo) A song abandoned and not used on the Bedtime Stories album. Madonna and Shep Pettibone later gave it to former [[Take That]] singer [[Gary Barlow]]. It was not written specifically for him. He received a demotape with that song including her lead and backing vocals. He took the song to #1 in the UK in 1997. The unreleased Madonna demo is US copyright registration# PAu-1-889-250. The demo leaked onto file sharing services from sources unknown around the year 2000. Madonna's version has a strong clear vocal with bubble gum instrumentation that vaguely sounds of synth-Motown. There is also an unreleased remix of the Barlow version by [[Tony Moran]].
 
* '''Bring It''' Written and produced by Madonna and [[Shep Pettibone]] but never released. Of a far lesser quality than the other unreleased songs written with Pettibone for the "Bedtime Stories" album. US [[copyright]] registration# PAu-1-889-252. Partial lyric reads "I know you're love is bad for me, but I won't give up until you bring it to me".
 
* '''Goodtime''' and '''Tongue Tied''' According to Warner-Chappel Music Publishing. Two songs written by Madonna and [[Shep Pettibone]]. Never released. Exact nature and origins are unknown. They may be from a different time period.
 
* '''Keep On''' Written by Madonna, [[Dallas Austin]] and Collin Wolfe. An early version of the released song "Don't Stop" found on the "Bedtime Stories" album.
 
* '''Right On Time''' Written by Madonna and [[Dallas Austin]]. Listed in the European MCPS database. APRA id# GW0916567.
 
* '''In The Closet''' With [[Michael Jackson]]. Also widely reported in the press of the time as "Out Of The Closet". Madonna's original duet vocal remains unreleased due to a creative conflict for the direction of the song. The short female "mystery girl" cameo vocal on the released version is [[Princess Stéphanie of Monaco]].**** This was NEVER recorded. Madonna said in her Erotica Interview with Jonathan Ross (Erotica era, NOT Bedtime Stories), that he had the idea for In The Closet and when she presented her ideas to him, suggestive lyrics, melodies, he didn't agree with her. All he wanted was a provocative title. So there is no other version other than Michael's own demo.****
 
* '''Let Down Your Guard''' Though this is isn't exactly "unreleased", on the Secret single, the song is labelled as "Rough Mix Edit" so there must be a final, unedited mix.
 
* '''Your Honesty''' Recorded during sessions for Bedtime Stories but never made it onto the album. It was officially released on the Remixed and Revisited EP released in 2003.
 
=== The ''Something To Remember'' album ===
* '''I Can't Forget''' An unreleased collaboration with [[David Foster]]. Recorded with two other released songs for the "Something To Remember" retrospective album but this one was never used. BMI work# 2133633 published by Peerless Music.
 
* '''You'll Stay''' written with [[Patrick Leonard]] appeared in publishing records. Also found at the APRA site, song id# GW15524580. This may be an early version of the released "You'll See" written and recorded with [[David Foster]] at this same time period, but Leonard is not credited on "You'll See".
 
* '''Broken''' written in [[1995]]. Found as ID #GW14567699. This may be an early demo version of '''Frozen''', however it was never completed.
 
== Post Kabbalah conversion recordings 1997-2003 ==
=== The ''Ray Of Light'' album ===
* '''[[Revenge (Madonna song)|Revenge]]''' and '''Gone, Gone, Gone''' and '''Like A Flower''' - All unreleased demos recorded for the album "Ray Of Light" written with [[Rick Nowels]]. The co-producer credit is not certain but may have been [[Robert Miles]]. See false rumor listing below for additional disproven title names of this period. The CMRRA has Madonna, Rick Nowels and [[Greg Fitzgerald]] listed as the writer for '''Revenge'''. [https://www.cmrra.ca/song%20lookup/song.nsf/cbb705d4b1b1516b852566ab006720c9/c3a482ce4f72381d85256e6e0069d4da?OpenDocument Revenge] '''Gone, Gone, Gone''' was leaked via Youtube on January 2, 2007
 
* '''Like A Flower''' has since been given to Italian singer [[Laura Pausini]] for her 2004 album '''Resta In Ascolto'''. The original Madonna English language demo is a well known leak on file sharing services. The song was translated into Italian and Spanish by Pausini and was retitled '''Mi Abbandono A Te''' (ASCAP title code# 431458774). It also contains some original English lyrics. The ASCAP publishing website also credits Madonna as a co-author on the Laura Pausini song '''Escucha Atento''' from the same Pausini album, but the album itself does not credit Madonna on this second song. See ASCAP title code# 350857997 separate from the song above. Former Madonna collaborator Rick Nowels is also listed. It is not clear if the credit for the two tracks has been confused by ASCAP or if Madonna contributed to both songs. In the last case, there should then also be an unreleased English Madonna demo for '''Escucha Atento'''.
 
* '''Alternate arrangements''' of "'''Drowned World/ Substitute For Love (Original version "No Substitute for Love")'''", "'''Power Of Goodbye'''", "'''To Have and not to Hold'''" and "'''Little Star'''" from this same album also exist. These were all found to have leaked out on to the web via sources unknown to [[Peer to peer]] and [[file sharing]] networks like [[Kazaa]] and [[Napster]] in the late [[1990s]].
 
* '''Angel Of Fire''' Written by [[Mariah Carey]] and [[Patrick Leonard]]. Produced by [[William Orbit]]. Madonna's writing and/or production contribution is not quite clear. She may have started the original demo or been brought in only as a "consultant". Mariah Carey spoke of the song to the press but her version also still remains unreleased. See [http://www.angelfire.com/ri/mc1/augnews.html Mariah Carey News 1999.]
 
* '''Don't Love A Stranger''' and/or '''Forever''' One or both of these titles are said to have been recorded with producer and songwriter [[Babyface]] for the "Ray Of Light" album but were never used. Existence of this collaboration is very certain as confirmed by Madonna's publicist, but the exact title names(s) have not yet been made public.
 
* '''Be Careful''' Written and produced by Madonna and [[Patrick Leonard]] only, APRA song id# GW23038624. A possible early version of the song '''Cuidado Con Mi Corazon''' recorded with [[Ricky Martin]] and [[William Orbit]], APRA song id# GW1552449. Leonard is not credited on the released Madonna-Orbit version with [[Ricky Martin]] but he has his own separate Madonna-Leonard documented entry in the Warner-Chappell publishing database. Oddly, the Canadian CMRRA lists them all as co-writers together on one song work# 732670
 
* '''Like An Angel Passing Through My Room''' Madonna and Orbit covered this ABBA song during the Ray Of Light sessions. It remains unreleased, but Orbit talks about it in the Q&A section on his website.
 
* '''Regresando''' A Madonna and [[Patrick Leonard]] collaboration of unknown origin. Listed in the Warner-Chappell database. Also APRA song id# GW19069760. The never released title might actually be a mis-spelling for the Spanish word ''Regresando'' which translates to English as meaning ''Returning''. Until additional information is provided, the inclusion of the letter ''f'' in the original word spelling is thought by many fans to be nonsensical and probably listed incorrectly in the publisher database.
 
=== The ''Music'' album ===
* '''Title(s) uncertain''' One of the original working titles to this album was called '''Galaxy''' probably in reference to a lyric found in the released song '''Impressive Instant''' which may have also had the working title of '''Out Of Control'''. Other rumored titles with no documented evidence include '''Mechanical''', '''Just Another''', '''One''' and '''When The Light Fades'''. At the time, Madonna was also working with DJ/remixer, producer [[Sasha (DJ)|Sasha]]. Madonna mentioned this in an interview with ''[[MixMag]]''. Nothing amounted to a complete song from this collaboration and she said they were all going into "the vault". How much was just Sasha instrumental work and how much had Madonna vocals is not clear.
 
* '''Eagle's Wings''' and '''No Choice''' and '''Remember Me''' Songs supposedly written with [[Mirwais Ahmadzai]] for the "Music" album according to an Italian news source. See [http://lanazione.quotidiano.net/art/2000/07/28/1150489 La Nazione news report from 2000] There has never been a publishing or copyright registration made to confirm these titles. They remain only rumors supported by media report.
 
* '''La Petit''', '''Mysore Smile''' and '''Run''' Written and produced with William Orbit but never used or released. Confirmed [[ASCAP]] title codes 420566552, 420566570, 430653519 and 480358398. A note of interest is that [[Mysore]] is a city in [[India]], a cente of [[yoga]] and [[meditation]] study. A short clip of what is titled "La Petit" is circulating on file sharing services, but Madonna is actually reading a "Winnie The Pooh" poem instead. The unreleased title name of "La Petit" is real, but the clip circulating on the interent under this title is actually a fake imposter. The site also mentions another unreleased track with Madonna covering another ABBA track called '''Like An Angel Passing Through My Room'''.
 
* '''Liquid Love''', co-written and produced by William Orbit, originates from the Fall of 1999, presumably from the same preliminary sessions that yielded '''Amazing''' and '''Runaway Lover''', which wound up being featured on her "Music" LP a year later. Madonna confirms in the 2005 ''Attitude'' interview that the track was, too, supposed to be on the album but was axed because it gave her "the wrong tingles." The track leaked onto the internet on [[June 3]] 2006. What is interesting about the leak is that the track can be heard in quality that is virtually CD-like, suggesting that it had been through the final mastering process in 2000 before Madonna cut it from the tracklisting. It has also been suggested that Madonna herself always intended the album to be only ten tracks, and the removal of "Liquid Love" actually made room for "Amazing", a track many have chastised for sounding too similar to "Beautiful Stranger." The instrumental to "Love" has actually been available to hear on [http://www.williamorbit.com William Orbit's official website] for over a year, but under the alias of '''Bubble Universe''' and without Madonna's vocals. William Orbit mentions in the Q&A section that he renamed the track, slowed it down and Laurie Mayer added new vocals. The track has been released in this form on his new album, ''Hello Waveforms.'' The summer 2006 leak of the original version with Madonna's intact vocals may be related to the release of the updated version.
 
* '''Alone Again''' A Madonna co-write with [[Rick Nowels]]. A song widely publicised in the media in 2002 as being given to and recorded by [[Kylie Minogue]]. The Minogue version was supposed to be the B-side to her "Come Into My World" single, but the well documented Madonna tune (mentioned by Kylie during interviews) has not been released in any form. A fake imposter circulating on the internet by the same title is actually by Laura Hallaway of Jem and the Holograms from the 1985-1988 animated TV series and is not by Madonna or Kylie as credited. [http://www.kylie.co.uk/newsroom/00000014.html Kylie News August 2002 from Limbo]
 
* '''What It Feels Like For A Girl''' Has three writers (instead of more widely known two): Madonna, [[Guy Sigsworth]] and guitarist [[David Torn]] according to the CMRRA #718234. This could mean that an alternate version was recorded or that credit is confused or disputed.
 
* '''Hollywood''', a song that has reportedly undergone countless revisions and overhauls over the years, actually originates from the late 1990s. Madonna wrote the track on her own and then sought creative input from her collaborators to polish the song up, the goal being to get it released on the "Music" LP. Early incarnations of the track may have featured input from Guy Sigsworth, but not until Mirwais came into the recording sessions did the song start taking serious shape. Madonna's original acoustic demos were scrapped and the melody completely reworked; the backing music is said to be less guitar and more along the lines of "Impressive Instant." Neither she nor Ahmadzai liked the result, and the song was scrapped. It was picked up in the Spring of 2002 during the "American Life" recording sessions, where it underwent a couple more revisions before ultimately finding home on that album and becoming its second single.
 
* Another ''American Life'' track that originates from the ''Music'' sessions is "Intervention." Then titled '''Love Will Change Us Forever''', the song was written late in the game, perhaps too late to warrant consideration for being on said record (this may be substantiated by reports that the song is about her son Rocco, whom wasn't even born until a month before ''Music'' was released). Mirwais restructured the original track and gave it more of a 'stiff' sound to better reflect the mood of ''American Life.'' It is unlikely the original version is that much different from the released one.
 
* '''Wonderland''' A short 45 second score to the short lived ABC TV show of the same name. The series aired only two episodes due to controversial content which viewers found disturbing. ASCAP title code 530521409. Written by Madonna and William Orbit. Madonna's humming was later used on the song "Amazing" but the original score remains unreleased. The clip has though been available to hear on [http://www.williamorbit.com William Orbit's official website] in the archive section for some time under its proper name.
 
* '''Possibly 3 Title Names Unknown''' Two songs recorded with Belgian-Congolese fusion group [[Zap Mama]] mixed by Pairs-based Bengali artist Subhendu [[Bapi Das Baul]] says the [http://www.screenindia.com/20010608/rbeng.html Screen India June 8th, 2001.]Plus a third recording is a Madonna guest vocal on a [[Bapi Das Baul]] track says the [http://www.india-today.com/itoday/20010402/ecathers.shtml India Today April 2nd, 2001]...she found it "interesting". Hindustand Times March 19th, 2001 says that Madonna first heard Shubhendu "Bapi das Baul" on one of Fun-Da-Mental's CDs. "Madonna keeps a tab on the latest occurrences in the British dance music scene, so she possibly knew about my kind of music," explains Shubhendu. When she visited Paris last year, Madonna called him up to make an offer. "She just asked me, like, 'Wanna sing on my next album?' I thought, 'Why not?'" he says. Ultimately, Shubhendu ended up cutting not one, but two tracks." So far these very unusual collaborations have not surfaced.
 
=== The ''Die Another Day'' soundtrack album ===
* '''Can't You See My Mind''' Recorded and produced with French-techno producer [[Mirwais Ahmadzai]] for the [[James Bond]] film "[[Die Another Day]]". Widely reported in the media but unlike the title track it was never used or released. Listing confirmed at Warner-Chappell Music Publishing. Also [[ASCAP]] title code# 330991414.
 
=== The ''American Life'' album ===
An unverified [[Maverick Records]] "in-house reference disc" tracklisting appeared on the internet in July 2004. It supposedly listed previously unknown songs from the American Life sessions: '''I Can't Place It (Confusion Part 2)''', '''The Supabitch Parade''', '''Hare Krishna''', '''My Ejector''', '''Little Piece of Nothing'''', '''Mindtrappa''', '''Bad Nature''', '''Adverse Youth''' and '''Surreal Light'''.
 
* '''The Process''' An early version of "X-Static Process".
* '''Mind Trap''' An early version of "Nobody knows me".
* '''Round and Round''' An early version of "Easy Ride", written and produced with Monte Pittman. The track was later re-produced with Mirwais.
* '''Silly Thing''' An early version of "Nothing Fails".

== '''Confessions and Musicals 2004-2005''' ==
=== ''The Post Re-Invention Musicals''===
* '''Hello Suckers Musical''' Confirmed in late 2004 by [[Patrick Leonard]], Madonna recorded an album's worth of material designed for a 20s-style musical loosely based on the life of Texas Guinan titled ''Hello Suckers!''. Two tracks supposedly written for this venture are '''Curtain''' and '''The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You'''. The latter was going to be part of the setlist to the ''Re-Invention Tour'' but was later scrapped. With the project shelved for the time being, these songs remain unreleased in original form. [http://www.drownedmadonna.com/modules.php?name=mike_mcknight2 See DrownedMadonna.com interview with Mike McKnight]
 
* '''A second musical''', to have been directed by filmmaker [[Luc Besson]], was also in pre-production during last fall but was abandoned when Madonna read the script and was dissatisfied with the result. See [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,13887,1644648,00.html Observer Guardian UK Madonna interview Nov 2005]. Several of the songs that were done for this musical have since then been tweaked for the artist's 10th studio album ''Confessions on a Dance Floor'' (2005). Confirmed tracks that made the transition: "Hung Up", "Jump" and "How High." The musical's producers were [[Mirwais]], [[Stuart Price]] and [[Joe Henry]].
 
* '''Imagine''', studio version of the John Lennon track that she used as part of the ''Re-Invention Tour'' and the ''Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope'' television special. Probably co-produced by Stuart Price. The track was mixed and recorded exclusively for the tour and is therefore an unpolished demo. Although a Re-Invention Tour recording (mislabelled as being from the Tsunami Aid) of the song featured on the compilation 'Q Lennon Covered #1' a selection of John Lennon songs covered by various artists which came free with [[Q Magazine]] in 2005.
 
=== Musicals Shelved, ''Disco Resurrection'' ===
* '''Title(s) Unknown''' - The original working title for this project after "the musicals" were abandonded was said to be called "Defying Gravity" which may or may not indicate another unreleased song.'''NOTE:''' Defying Gravity is actually a song from the musical Wicked which premiered around the time these rumours started.
It was widely reported in the media that Madonna did request and/or listened to demo material from [[Depeche Mode]] writer [[Martin Gore]], the UK group [[Goldfrapp]], and Lamb's Andy Barlow but it is not clear if any of these ideas were carried forward to demos or finished collaborative product. Brother-in-law [[Joe Henry]] said in an interview that he was working with Madonna on two songs but only one appears on the final released album. '''NOTE:''' In an e-mail received from Andy Barlow of Lamb he said that the rumor of a Madonna/ Lamb collaboration was false, though he would love to work with her.
 
=== Confessions on a Dancefloor album===
* '''History''' written by Madonna and [[Stuart Price]]. [http://www.warnerchappell.com/wcm_2/song_search/song_detail/songview_2.jsp?esongId=869941700 Warner Chappell Music]. Initially unreleased this song finally saw a release with an inclusion as a bonus track for the [[Jump (Madonna song)|Jump]] single released in November 2006. The released version has a slightly different melody line and uses vocals sung at a lower register than the original version ''(which remains unreleased)''.
 
* '''Triggering''' A collaboration between Madonna and Mirwais also remains unreleased. [http://www.warnerchappell.com/wcm_2/song_search/song_detail/songview_2.jsp?esongId=869941900 Warner Chappell Music]
 
* "[[I Love New York (Madonna song)|I Love New York]]" was originally written during Madonna's Re-Invention Tour on a spur-of-the-moment impulse. The original, more rock oriented version of the track was reportedly a collaboration with guitarist Monte Pittman, who is nowhere to be found on the credits to the released versions. He may have only been her musical muse or a different demo may be in the vaults. The album version is a dance collaboration with [[Stuart Price]] ASCAP title code 391941318. The demo version was released in the companion CD to the DVD release of the documentary "I Am Going To Tell You A Secret". This is ASCAP title code 391955072 and was written by Madonna only. The demo version contains the alternate chorus line "I don't love you, but I love New York".
 
* '''Possible alternate versions''' - Some tracks on the released album credit secondary production by [[Stuart Price]] in addition to the original productions with Madonna's original collaborators. This was probably done to help unify the sound of the originally diverse project. This implies that earlier and different versions of "Let it Will Be" (a Mirwais collaboration), "Get Together" (and possibly others) may remain in the vaults. Fans have already observed this with the transformed "I Love New York" which clearly has a totally different arrangement when comparing the differences between the demo and album versions.
 
* Early versions of '''How High''' and '''Like it or Not''' produced by Bloodshy alone are also in the vaults, assumably without the additional mixing of Avant and Stuart Price. The instrumentals to both songs were written before the lyrics were. These appeared on Bloodshy's MySpace in 2006 as "Snookercrunk" which is an almost identical version of ''Like It Or Not'' without vocals, and "Lester" (4:01), which is an early version of ''How High'' (3:26).
 
* '''Super Pop''' A track written by Madonna and Mirwais that was intended to be included on the Confessions album, but never made it. The rare song was offered as a download to Madonna Icon fan club members only. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9916566/] [http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=493253799&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1]
 
* '''Fighting Spirit''' A track written by Madonna and Mirwais which was released as a bonus track on the limited edition [[Confessions On A Dance Floor]] [http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=361303055&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1].
 
* '''Title Unknown''' - The UK tabloid Star reported in September 2005 that 80's teen singer [[Tiffany (singer)|Tiffany]] was in the UK Midlands recording a song given to her written by Madonna. Usually songs given to other artists by Madonna are tracks that she decides do not fit on her current projects. The exact nature of this song is not certain.
 
* Alternate versions of '''Hung Up''' do exist. Back when the single was about to be released, a 1-minute instrumental loop of Hung Up was played on the Motorola Rokr website, the instrumentation featured no ABBA sample. The clip featured in the tv ad did not feature the ABBA sample either. Furtherore, 2 hort clips of Hung Up were leaked before it's release. The clips were much faster than the released version.
 
== Projects In Development 2006 - 2007 ==
* '''Song with [[Cyndi Lauper]]''' to be written and recorded in 2006. [http://www.popdirt.com/article47051.html As told to Sky News] by Lauper herself. Cyndi is co-starring in a NY stage production with Madonna's former partner [[Carlos Leon]].
 
* '''Potential Collaborations''' [[Mary J. Blige]] and [[George Michael]] have both expressed admiration for and a desire to work with Madonna in 2006 media reports. Madonna is supposedly going to call Blige after the Confessions Tour ends. Talk of a planned George Michael and Madonna duet was first rumoured in the media back in 1989-1990.
 
* '''System Overload''' Song written by Madonna, was reported to have been re-recorded by [[Holly Valance]]... however, Holly denied this on 2Day FMs Kyle & Jackie O Show on 8/9/2006. An unreleased Madonna demo is likely to exist. Madonna's collaborator is not known at this time.
 
* According to [http://www.madonnalicious.com madonnalicious.com], Madonna is now writing a new album. Madonna said it herself in an interview during her confessions tour.
 
* '''Lay all your love on me''', According to the Sun Newspaper (UK November 2006) Madonna was to be working with ABBA vocalists Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid 'Frida' Lyngstad on a cover of an 1981 Abba single for her next album to be released in 2007. This was later officially denied by an ABBA spokesperson.
 
* '''DrownedMadonna.com''' reported that Stuart Price was on E Talk Weekly about Madonna's new late 2007 album. He said the album will have a new sound. A sound with a mixture of dance , r&b and a little bit of rock n' roll. They are looking forward to finishing the album. The album is almost finished.
 
== Unreleased Remixes Officially Commissioned (any period) ==
Not intended to include bootleg/unofficial mixes or "mash ups" even if constructed by big name producers.
 
Just to clear this up once and for all:
"White label" is NOT a term meant to be used for all unofficial remixes. It refers to bootlegged records that usually have a plain white label. If a remix has never been pressed to an actual 12" record, it is not a white label.
 
* '''Like A Virgin (Remix)''' by producer [[Nile Rodgers]], (formerly of the group [[CHIC (band)|CHIC]]). Nile mentioned in an interview of the time that the remix of this song by [[John Jellybean Benitez]] was chosen over his for the release of the 12" dance single.
 
* '''Cherish (remix)''' Official commissioned remix by Hank Shocklee and Phil Castellano as first reported in [[Billboard Magazine]]. Never released.
 
* '''Bedtime Stories (remix)''' Was done during the mid-90's by [[Ralphi Rosario]] but was not accepted by the label at the time for commercial single release due to the underground vibe used. See supporting Rosario interview at [http://www.madonnatribe.com/idol/ralphi.htm Madonnatribe.com] A more recent 2005 mix was also done by [[Victor Calderone]]. He requested and got the masters for his personal use from WB music without a specific commercial project in mind. [http://www.victorcalderone.com/static/index.html See official Victor Calderone discography]. Jason Nevins also remixed the track for private use as listed in his discography.
 
* '''I Want You (remixes)''' by [[Junior Vasquez]] and [[Warren Rigg]]. Official commissions but never released. Warren's mix has since leaked out by collectors, fans and DJ's. Junior's mix has been lost. Many of Junior's recent Madonna remixes for songs like "Power Of Goodbye" were not official commissions and are therefore not listed here. This confusion clouds the perceived line between what is ''unreleased'' and ''white label'' (made by DJ for private use) remixes. Check out the others listed at [http://www.juniorvasquezmusic.com/forum/ Junior Vasquez Music Site]
 
* '''Crazy For You (remixes)''' by [[Junior Vasquez]]. This 1997 dance version of the 1985 ballad has been circulated widely among collectors and is very popular. For some reason it was never issued commercially or promotionally. Junior Vasquez did an Arena Anthem and a Circuit Mix as well as several versions based on these two.
 
* '''Be Careful (remix)''' by [[Pablo Flores]] (as reported in [[Billboard Magazine]]). See [http://www.houseofremixes.co.uk/pabloflores.htm Pablo Flores discography under Ricky Martin.][[Victor Calderone]] was also supposed to remix this song. See article [http://www.mattunleashed.com/artists_profiles_features_victor_calderone1.htm V for Victor] Neither mix of this cancelled single has ever leaked out. Victor's discography oddly does not list this song, but instead shows '''Power Of Goodbye''' which is not widely thought to have been remixed by him (possible confusion). See [http://www.houseofremixes.co.uk/victorcalderone.htm Calderone discography]
 
* '''Ray Of Light (remix)''' by [[Richie Santana]]. Commissioned but not released (possibly due to its length: 12:24). Found by fans on file sharing services. This remix was oficially released on a promotional 12" vinyl single, released only to Billboard Reporting Club Djs (confirmed by Orlando Puerta, VP of Promotions, Street and Lifestyle Marketing at Warner Brothers Records.)
 
* '''Nothing Really Matters (remix)''' A full 25 minute version that Madonna "loved" by [[Talvin Singh]] as described in an interview with [http://www.india-today.com/ttoday/121998/boom.html India Today] in 1998. This may be a longer version of his commercially released Vikram mix which clocks in at only 7 minutes 44 seconds. [Isn't this the 13:44 version that got a promotional release?]
 
* '''American Pie (JB's remix)''' by Jonsi (of Sigur Ros) and Bix. From year 2000 [[Don McLean]] cover. Remix duo did not meet the record label deadline for requested submission. They finished the mix and later posted to the public on website. See "remixed" section at [http://this.is/bix/ This Is Bix.] Madonna's club single was issued without the JB version.
 
* '''Music''' and '''Don't Tell Me (remixes)''' by [[Dave Aude]]. These were played on mix radio shows in the UK and have been circulating among collectors but they do not appear on the commercial or promotional copies issued for these songs. Dave was the last of 7 different mixers commissioned. See [http://www.jivemagazine.com/interviews/2000/10092000daveaude/index2.shtml Dave Aude Jive magazine interview 2000]
 
* '''Music (remixes)''' by Richard "Humpty" Vission. These were commissioned but not released. A Phunktron Mix (6:21), Phunktron Dub (6:09) and a Phunktron Radio Edit (4:14) are circulating among collectors on the Internet.
 
*'''Runaway Lover (remix)''' by [[Victor Calderone]]. See [http://www.madonnatribe.com/idol/victor.htm Interview with Victor at Madonnatribe.com] His version was never released, but he did play it on a radio broadcast. That version is privately circulating among fans, but is edited to make it sound full, when it reality it was mixed.
 
* '''What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix)''' by [[Thunderpuss]]. This remix was not included on commercial release due to a misunderstanding, according to the members of the remix duo. Warner Brothers Records got word the remix had leaked months before the scheduled release. Upon hearing about the prematurely leaked Thunderpuss remix, Madonna's angered record label decided not to use the remix. In reality, the leaked file in question was an amateur made remix incorrectly labeled. The authentic Thunderpuss mix has since been circulating among collectors via the internet, and on bootleg releases. See [http://www.barryharrisnyc.com/ Thunderpuss & Barry Harris discography]
 
* '''What It Feels Like For A Girl (remix)''' by [[Manny Lehman]]. Commissioned but not released. He previewed it on his website.
 
* '''Die Another Day (remix)''' by DJ Tiësto was commissioned but rejected. It was played during one of his live sets and is circulating among collectors, as it was pressed on a limited edition white label release among with another rejected Tiësto remix of a song by Radiohead. A replica made by Tiësto-fans is also circulating (clocking in at 7:14).
 
* '''Over And Over (remix)''' by [[Tracy Young]]. A more recent remix (approximately year 2005 or so) of the old 1984 song was commissioned but was never used. It does appear listed on Young's discography. See [http://www.djtracyyoung.com/ DJ Tracy Young Official Site]. It was made for a Rugrats movie and was later scrapped.
 
* '''Hollywood (remix)''' by [[Blow Up]]. The duo Paolo Cilione and Claudio Camaione confirmed the existence of this remix on their official site, stating it was planned for an ''American Life Club Mixes'' LP in 2004, which never materialized (possibly due to the ReInvention Tour going on at the time). Their "Love Profusion" remix, which originates from the same time frame, showed up on the U.S. Maxi-single. The duo also, according to an interview, was planning to remix Mother & Father, though that was never completed.
 
* '''Hollywood (remix)''' by [[Junior Vasquez]]. An official project unlike most of Junior's mixes made for his own private use. This project was granted by Madonna at the personal request of [[Donatella Versace]] for exclusive use in a fashion show in spite of the ongoing feud between Junior and Madonna. See [http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/n_8821/ New York Magazine news article]
 
* '''Hollywood (remix)''' by [[Sander Kleinenberg]]. This remix was commissioned but was rejected. The Sander Kleinenberg Dub is available on a one-sided White Label Promo vinyl. The Sander Kleinenberg Club Mix was played during a live set. The full Club Mix has not yet leaked to the Internet.
 
* '''Into The Groove 2005''' by [[Peter Rauhofer]]. Listed on his [http://www.peterrauhofer.com/remixes.html official website remixes listing]. Probably commissioned for the "Remixed and Revisited" EP.
 
* '''Mother And Father (remix)''' by [[Johnny Rocks]]. The Rauhofer mix was eventually released on a compilation album but the official Johnny Rocks mix only appeared on radio during a KTU 103.5 mix show in New York and remains unreleased. World Anthem Remix 9min 30sec and World Anthem Radio Edit 3min 35sec. See [http://www.johnnyrocks.com/productionremix.htm Johnny Rocks site]
 
* '''Re-Invention Studio Concept Mixes'''. A segment of video footage, unused from the ''Re-Invention Tour'', surfaced in July 2005 and contained a sample of what appeared to be an overhauled version of '''I'm So Stupid,''' which did not make the final show. Because he was musical director of the last tour, we can only assume that this is a [[Stuart Price]] remix. This mix can be seen rehearsed during the documentary "I'm Going To Tell You a Secret." '''Material Girl''' also appears to have been updated for a short clip in the documentary. Stuart also put together the reworked version of '''The Beast Within''' which opened the show. The full [[Stuart Price]] tour concept demo version of '''I'm So Stupid''' leaked onto the internet in June 2006 along with numerous other Re-Invention Studio Concept Mixes including '''Nobody Knows Me''', '''Die Another Day''' and '''Hollywood'''. These are just conceptual versions and differ slightly from the final tour versions. They were ripped from a private CDR that wasn't supposed to be heard outside of Madonna's own camp. In fact, these concept demos are so rough you can hear Stuart and his co-workers talking during certain parts of the demos, e.g. at the end of I'm So Stupid.
 
* '''Hung Up (remix)''' by [[LEX]]. The LEX Vocal Mix and the LEX Instrumental Mix was accepted and sent out to DJs via digital download. The duo also completed a LEX Reggaeton Mix that was rejected.
 
* '''Get Together (remix)''' by [[Roger Sanchez]]. Rejected mix. Roger claims he asked for the tracks to do this remix on his radio show, which is false. He has since played it twice on his radio show.
 
* '''Get Together (remix)''' by [[Peter Rauhofer]]. Rauhofer made private mixes too (Peter Rauhofer's Private Mix Part 1 & 2). These mixes leaked onto the net in a "mixed together" version. These are not officially commissioned remixes.
 
* '''Get Together (remix)''' by Thin White Duke. [[Stuart Price]] made 2 mixes of this song (Jacques Lu cont mix and Thin White Duke mix) and he had to choose between them wich will be released. He choose the ''Jacques Lu Cont Mix''. The ''Thin White Duke mix'' was rejected even to be sent out to DJs via digital download. The full mix or have not leaked even a set rip or radio rip doesn't exist.
 
== Registered alternate song titles ==
These musical works were registered in the [[United States Copyright Office]] or another music registry under a different title from that used on the released Madonna record. Or have a contributing history to the final Madonna release.
* '''Sepheryn''' Originally written in 1972 by Dave Curtiss and Clive Maldoon. US copyright registration EU317695 and RE-832-625. Christine Leach and Madonna changed/added lyrics in March 1998 via registration PA-893-368. William Orbit was added as another co-writer in December 1998 via registration PA-920-812. This is how we got the hit song "Ray Of Light". See [http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2319080&from1=QUIA listing at Tower Records]
* '''Ooh, I Love It (Love Break)''' - By the [[Salsoul Orchestra]] 1975. Written by disco producer [[Vincent Montana Jr.]] BMI work #204699. This is sometimes called "The Chicago Bus Stop" or "Do The Bus Stop". Remixed by [[Shep Pettibone]] in 1983 for [[Salsoul Records]] 12" vinyl issue SG-391. The horns and strings appear to be a very obvious pre-cursour to the 1990 mega-hit "Vogue", a Madonna and Pettibone collaboration US copyright registration PAu-1-331-762. Pettibone used the bassline from the 1973 release "Love Is The Message" by MSFB on his 1983 mix. See [http://www.jahsonic.com/ShepPettibone.html Pettibone Salsoul remixography.]"Vogue" may have also been influenced by the [[Malcolm McLaren]] (former manager of [[the Sex Pistols]]) and the Bootzilla Orchestra 1989 release "Deep In Vogue" US copyright registration PAu-1-206-662, remixed for clubs by [[William Orbit]] who later also became a Madonna song writing partner.
* '''In Times Of Passion''', 1982 US copyright registration PAu-400-501 written by [[Mic Murphy]] and [[David Frank]] of the 80's duo [[The System (band)]]. Originally intended as a Madonna vocal demo written by David Frank to be titled "Crimes Of Passion". Due to a creative conflict about guitar use, [[The System (band)]] recorded the "In Times Of Passion" which ignited their Atlantic Records deal while Madonna and Stephen Bray recorded their own "Crimes Of Passion" demo which was not released until the late 90's on Bray's small indie label. [http://emusician.com/mag/emusic_bottle/index.html See David Frank interview from the year 2000]
* '''Everybody, Dance''' Original entry listed in 1982 for the song "Everybody" on US copyright registration PAu-467-658 by Stephen Bray publisher July Fourth Music indicating a co-write and not solely written by Madonna. Madonna's last name "Ciccone" is misspelled "Ciconi". Madonna later took sole writing credit for this song and Bray took sole credit for "Ain't No Big Deal" in trade as confirmed by Bray interview 1999.
* '''Take A Holiday''', US Copyright registration PAu-505-502 for original 1983 demo of "Holiday" written by Lisa Stevens and Curtis Hudson formerly of the disco group [[Pure Energy]]. Publishing rights given to House Of Fun Music in 1986 on registration PAu-905-744.
* '''Gonna Dress You Up In My Love''', Original demo for 1983 US copyright registration PAu-610-763 for 1984 song "Dress You Up" written by Peggy Stanziale and Andrea LaRusso. Title officially changed in 1986 on publisher registration PAu-905-745.
* '''Living In A Material World''', US copyright registration PAu-598-777. The original name for the song "Material Girl" as written by disco artist [[Peter Brown (singer)]] and Robert Rans specifically for Madonna in 1984. [http://www.disco-disco.com/tributes/peter.html See Peter Brown Tribute.]The original demo was sung by Pat Hurly.
* '''Papa, Don't Preach (I'm Keepin' My Baby)''' US copyright registration PAu-851-488 from 1986 crediting only Brian Elliot as songwriter before Madonna added lyrics for her release.
* '''Get Up Stand Tall''', US copyright registration# PAu-828-147 same version/alternate tilte as the released song "White Heat" as submitted by co-writer [[Patrick Leonard]].
* '''Alyoum Olek Ala Khashaba''' (Arabic '''اليوم علق على خشبة''') by legendary Lebanese singer [[Fairouz]] (aka [[Fairuz]]) from the 1962 album "Good Friday Eastern Sacred Songs". Re-issued in various countries in 1964, 1965, 1981, 1990 and 1992. Alternate western spellings of the song include "El Yom Ollik", "El Yom Olliqa', "El Yom Ulliqa Ala Khashaba", "El Yomn Ollikao", and "El Yom Ollika". This is the source of the uncredited middle eastern female vocal sampled on the Madonna songs "Erotica" (from 1992) and "The Beast Within mix of Justify My Love" (1990, featured in the Biblical reading from the [[book of Revelations]] at the opening of the 2004 "Re-Invention Tour"). Contrary to poplar western belief, this [[Arabic language]] song originates out of [[Coptic Orthodox]] Christianity (of Egyptian origin) and is not Islamic in nature. It speaks of the crucifixion of Jesus. See the [http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=174264 UK page of HMV]or the [http://www.aramusic.com/htmls/vdl516.htm Aramusic site in America]
* '''Actions Speak Louder Than Words''', registration# PAu-1-605-641 original working title as the released song "Words" as submitted by co-writer [[Shep Pettibone]].
* '''Cheat''' or '''Drunk Girl''' US copyright registration# PAu-1-605-639, same as the released song and working title for "Bad Girl" as submitted by co-writer [[Shep Pettibone]].
* '''Flirtation Dance''', copyright registration# PA-890-673, original and alternate title same as the released song "Skin".
* '''Cyber Sadhu''' became known as Cyber-Raga with [[Talvin Singh]]. Copyright registration# PA-1-013-829
* '''Hurry Up''' and '''Yourself''' and '''Future''' and '''Perfect''' were listed in the MCPS database. Considering the co-writers listed, they are probably matching alternates for "Over And Over", "Express Yourself", "Nothing Really Matters" and "Nobody's Perfect".
* '''Ariosa''' Alternate title for "Wonderland" main title theme. ASCAP title code 530521409. This is the Italian word for "airy".
* '''Silly Thing''' is an alternate title name for the song "Nothing Fails" registered at the ASCAP datbase title code 440538876.
* '''Give It Up''' by Madonna alias "Esther". Alternate title and artist credit for the Madonna song "Mother And Father" promoted by remixer [[Peter Rauhofer]] at his website for his remix of the song listed on his DJ playist top 10 prior to the official release of the song.
* '''The Binding Of Isaac''' is an alternate registered title name for "Isaac" listed on the ASCAP publishing database. Title code# 391941336.
 
== False rumors/Not likely to exist with Madonna contributions ==
To debunk titles falsely reported in the media and on fan web sites.
 
* '''Call Me Mr. Telephone''' by Cheyne (MCA Records). Madonna did not write this song as implied by the first Madonna biography by writer [[Mark Bego]] published by Pinnacle Books 1985. Madonna was originally going to give Cheyne "[[Into The Groove]]" to record to be produced by [[Mark Kamins]] but later changed her mind to keep it for herself according to interview with [[Stephen Bray]] 1999.
* '''Fast Forward Soundtrack''' 1985. Stephen Bray worked on this project with [[John Jellybean Benitez]] and according to Bray, Madonna did not participate as claimed in the first Madonna 1985 biography by Mark Bego published by Pinnacle Books.
* '''Title unknown''' by French singer Nathalie. According to Mark Bego Madonna biography 1985, Madonna was going to give her a song to record that she wrote. 20 years later, no further information has surfaced to clarify what this was about. Probable confusion.
* '''Lies In Your Eyes''' by [[I-Level]] [[1984]], completely not related to Madonna says [[Stephen Bray]]. They did both listen to the I-Level demo which Madonna never recorded.
* '''Baby Love''', by Regina, [[1986]]. Madonna had no association with this hit or the [[1992]] [[Dannii Minogue]] cover song says [[Stephen Bray]] in 1999 interview. He did co-write the song with [[Regina Richards]] formerly of the band [[Regina Richards And The Redhots]]. Interestingly the cartoon picture of a Madonna lookalike on the front cover of this release and the text on the rear about the identity of the singer makes clear that the long standing confusion about this release was intentional.
* '''Babytalk''' by [[Alisha]] from 1985. Sounds like Madonna and her song "[[Into the Groove]]" but they are not connected. [[Shep Pettibone]] did do the club remix but this was prior to his Madonna work.
* '''Heart''' by the [[Pet Shop Boys]] 1987. They wrote it for Madonna, but never sent it to her. They recorded it instead.
* '''Shanghai Surprise''' by [[George Harrison]] 1986. There is no evidence that Madonna recorded a version of this duet for the movie of the same name, though the lyrics and pitch of the female part have caused fans to question whether a Madonna version was ever proposed.
* '''Wouldn't You Love To Love Me''' by [[Prince (artist)|Prince]]. Listed on some Madonna fan sites and CD bootlegs as a so-called unreleased failed demo collaboration with Madonna. According to Prince outtake directories this rough demo was actually started in 1976 and worked on again in 1978 with female vocalist Sue Ann Carwell. It has a US copyright registration from 1980 as #PAu-235-859. It was later given to singer [[Taja Sevelle]] to record for her 1987 debut album. Madonna is not likely part of the crude demo circulating on file sharing.
* '''Dusk Til Dawn Soundtrack''' 3 songs with [[Prince (artist)|Prince]] for 1996 [[Quentin Tarantino]] film including the titles '''Funk Of 1,000 Years''' and '''Gone Mad'''. To date no solid evidence has ever surfaced in copyright/publishing records or well documented Prince outtake fan books and websites to indicate that this Madonna-Prince collaboration was ever started. Instead, all three persons appeared in the 1996 [[Spike Lee]] film '''Girl 6'''. Madonna and Tarantino as actors, and Prince for the film soundtrack. Either plans changed or there was major media confusion over this project.
* '''Broken Arrow''' by [[Rod Stewart]]. Backing vocal was done by [[Patrick Leonard]] [[protégé]] [[Schasle]], not Madonna.
* '''Queen Of Misery''' by [[Toy Matinee]] 1989. Written by [[Patrick Leonard]]'' about Madonna'', not ''for her''.
* '''Crazy Train''' with [[Ozzy Osbourne]], DJ mix created by Jared Deith
* '''These Boots Are Made for Walking''' - Supposed Nancy Sinata cover probably never recorded as rumoured.
* '''Security Of The First World''' - May sound like a Madonna instrumental for '''Justify My Love''' written by [[Lenny Kravitz]] (sole author copyright registration PAu-1-441-349 November 1990) but it is instead an earlier song by Public Enemy written by [[Hank Shocklee]] 1988 copyright registration PA-379-633. Madonna added lyrics to the Kravitz song credited December 1990. Prince protoge [[Ingrid Chavez]] then got belated co-credit for her original vocal demo with Kravitz after the initial Madonna release (such as "The Beast Within remix" copyright registration PAu-1-932-363). Madonna claimed that the [[Public Enemy]] sounds originated from [[James Brown]] on TV interview. This writing credit controversy was largely overshadowed by the Madonna video sexuality crisis, but the artistic conflict led to the immediate release of several rap "answer records" by several acts sampling similar music from both releases such as '''To My Donna''' by Young Black Teenagers 1991 (produced by Hank Shocklee), '''Justify Satisfy''' by D-Melo 1990 and '''A'll Justify Your Love''' by Al B Sure! 1991. More recently, the Kravitz/Madonna/Chavez composition is credited as a sample for the Jay-Z 2003 release '''Justify My Thug'''.
* '''No Entry''' - Widely reported in both inflammatory media reports and the respectable Billboard magazine as a Madonna song being made into "a video". Possibly co-starring Michael J Fox and Patrick Swayze. After all the years of outrageous claim and no supporting evidence, it is more likely that this was a working "code word" or "inside joke" title for the '''Erotica''' music video and sister '''Sex Book''' photo shoot projects 1991-92 which were done in part at the Gaiety Theatre strip club in Times Square, NY city starring adult porn actor Joey Stefano and mainstream actor Udo Kier along with many other participants.
* '''Queens Pearls''' Probable confusion with '''Queen's English''' a real released Junior Vasquez production by Blonde Ambition Tour dancers Jose and Luis from 1993 which did feature a Madonna cameo vocal.
* '''If Madonna Calls''' with [[Junior Vasquez]] 1996, "Who's That Girl" imitation vocal is actually by [[Kelly Bienvenue]].
* '''Fantasy''' by Race feat. Who's Dat Girl, A Junior Vasquez production. Madonna is not part of the released recording. It is not clear if she had a part in an early demo version.
* '''Sex Makes The World Go'Round''' - Rumoured and probbably false track/fan creation as the "new" song for the fictitious '''Veronica Electronica''' remix album which never existed just prior to the '''Ray Of Light''' project.
* '''Never Seen Blue''' This turned out to be an obscure [[1998]] [[Myra Ellen Amos]] aka [[Tori Amos]] B-side. Not related to Madonna.
* '''Painted Picture''', '''Relief On Demand''', '''Hands Down''', '''Take Away''', '''Heartbeat''', and '''All The Way Down''' ARE NOT Music outtakes. All those titles were madeup names by a fan who labeled mashed up remixes of Madonna and other songs with those titles during the [[Napster]] era.
* '''Enjoy''' by [[Robert Miles]] with [[Kathy Sledge]]. Written ''for'' Madonna as a [[Demo (music)|demo]] but not recorded ''by'' her.
* '''Jam For The Ladies''' by [[Moby]]. Madonna was the first choice for vocalist but due to schedule conflicts [[Moby]] gave the vocal to [[Angie Stone]].
* '''Hands Down''' A Madonna and [[William Orbit]] song which was probably a fan made title. There is no public evidence to support a known real recording.
* '''After The Storm ''' Recorded by [[Craig Armstrong]] in [[1997]] with [[Marius De Vries]]. Both men are previous Madonna collaborators but this is not her song and she is not credited on it.
* '''Young Again''' probable confusion with "Never Young Again" by [[Mirwais Ahmadzai]] from his solo album "Production".
* '''Crave''' by [[Björk]]. A collaboration with [[Guy Sigsworth]]. Again both are previous Madonna contributors but Madonna is not associated with this song.
* '''Sunlight''' by [[DJ Sammy]]. Sounds like Madonna but it is not.
* '''Wheels on the Bus''' by [[Mad Donna]]. A Children's song recorded with a Madonna sound-a-like vocalist and "Ray Of Light" like arrangement for UK single issue. A fun novelty, but not Madonna.
* '''Beyond The Ice''' A classic "[[Napster]] imposter file. This non-Madonna track was supposed to be the James Bond theme but proved false.
* '''Da Prayer''' The [[Australian]] rights society APRA lists [[Patrick Leonard]] as a co-writer of this song instead of [[Mirwais Ahmadzai]] on work# GW29753337 along with the members of [[Daft Punk]]. See [http://www.apra.com.au/index.htm APRA Site] This seems to indicate that this is only the old bootlegg mix of "Like A Prayer" instead of "Music" combined with older [[Daft Punk]] production which has gotten significant airplay in [[Europe]] and in dance clubs as a "mash up".
* '''Forbidden Fruit''' by [[Jessica Simpson]]. Falsely reported in the media that it was written by Madonna and [[Mirwais Ahmadzai]] from the "[[American Life]]" sessions. Credits state that it was written by Simpson, Fitzgerald and Nichols.
* '''Runaway Lover (remix)''' by [[Peter Rauhofer]]. Peter told DJ Times magazine that he did this remix - but due to [[Maverick Records]] and Warner Brother's infighting it was never released. Reading the interview, it is obvious that this report may have been confused with the story behind Rauhofer's remix for the song "Impressive Instant" which was sent to DJ's at the promotional and not the commercial level. See [http://www.djtimes.com/original/djmag/apr02/peter.htm DJ Times Peter Rauhofer interview April 2002]
* '''Various Titles''' from 2005 album sessions. No evidence other than fan discussion board mentions has surfaced to support these rumoured titles. '''Around the Clock''', '''24/7''', '''The Demon's Disco''', '''Face''' (Smile On Ur Face), '''Trivial Things''', '''The Song''', '''Returning Home''', '''Lies''' (Little White Lies), '''Defying Gravity''' (On The Dancefloor), '''Boy''', '''Bidi Bidi Bom Bom (Selena's cover)''', '''The Stare''' (Spreading My Wings), '''Signs''', '''Nightmare''', '''Beat Box''', '''Withered''', '''Insanity Fantasy''', '''Going Every Mile''', '''eXileration''', '''I Trust Nothing''', '''A Perfect World''', '''Way Off Base''', '''Beyond/Why Does It End''', '''Following The Sun''', '''Madonna From The Block''', '''Haunted''', '''If You Were Here''', '''Cali Dreams''' w/Missy Elliot. Until better supporting documentation appears, these are probably best listed as fan created pre-release fantasy items circulated on the internet. The reported collaboration with [[Andre 3000]] of [[Outkast]] was denied by Madonna's publicist.
* '''Only Uh, Uh''' (It Don't Mean Nothing) by German singer Juliette Schoppmann. Widely circulated on MP3 file sharing services in 2005 as a fake pre-release imposter for Madonna's '''Hung Up'''. Both songs have a telephone theme
* '''Candy Passion''', a title that floated around a month before Madonna's 2006 H&M Campaign as the name of a song she was going to release as part of the tracksuit promotion exclusively in their stores. The song never materialized, nor was it ever confirmed in any capacity.
