DrownedMadonna is pleased to share some tidbits with fellow fans, about HEY YOU, Madonnas Live Earth song.

To stop some speculation, we can tell you the song is NOT a Duet.

So far the song is NOT scheduled to be served to radios. It is NOT a commercial single. Its JUST for live earth.

IT is original and NOT a cover ( not the Pink Floyd song ). The song is about making a difference, loving yourself and others. It is a simple song, not at all like Confessions music. You can call it a Mid tempo beat.

Dat bedoelde ik ook... dat alles nep is sinds 1993 qua strings! Daarom verlang ik ook naar de LAP-tijd. Echte instrumenten! Veel beter!

Madonna: A lot of people ask me, "Why did you choose Malawi?" I always say that Malawi chose me. Victoria Keelan, a businesswoman who was born and raised in Malawi, contacted me through a mutual friend and said, "Look, if you’re in the business of helping children, we have over a million orphans here in Malawi, and the problem is insane. It’s an emergency. They need your help." She reached out to me because I do a lot of fund-raising for an organization called Spirituality for Kids, which helps children in impoverished conditions everywhere in the world, whether it’s Palestine, or East L.A., or New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, or the Bronx, Miami, Mexico City—all over the place.

I must admit that I didn’t really know where Malawi was when I first heard about the situation there. I had certainly heard about the aids pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, and in more well-known countries like Ethiopia and Rwanda. But not Malawi. So I educated myself, and I couldn’t say no, and it just seemed like a good idea. I sort of dove in.
