Hung Up

"Hung Up" is a song by American singer Madonna from her tenth studio album Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005). It was written and produced by Madonna in collaboration with Stuart Price, and released as the lead single from the album. Initially used in a number of television advertisements and serials, the song was released as the album's lead single on October 17, 2005. It has also made an appearance on her 2009 greatest hits album, Celebration. It also became Madonna's first track to be released to the iTunes Store for digital download.

"Hung Up" prominently features a sample from the instrumental introduction to ABBA's hit single "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)", for which Madonna personally bought permission from ABBA's songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Musically the song is influenced by 1980s pop, with a chugging groove and chorus and a background element of a ticking clock that suggests the fear of wasting time. Lyrically the song is written as a traditional dance number about a strong, independent woman who has relationship troubles.

Hung Up (Paul Weller song)

"Hung Up" is a song by Paul Weller released in 1994. The song was Weller's first top ten hit in seven years. The song is written from the viewpoint of an old man refusing to admit defeat. The lyrics begin "Hidden in the back seat of my head / Some place, I can't remember where."

The single was re-released as a track on Modern Classics: The Greatest Hits.

    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Every little thing that you say or do
    I'm hung up
    I'm hung up on you
    Waiting for your call
    Baby night and day
    I'm fed up
    I'm tired of waiting on you
    Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
    No time to hesitate
    Those who run seem to have all the fun
    I'm caught up
    I don't know what to do
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly
    Time goes by so slowly

    Ring ring ring goes the telephone
    The lights are on but there's no-one home
    Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
    And I'm done
    I'm hanging up on you
    I can't keep on waiting for you
    I know that you're still hesitating
    Don't cry for me
    'cause I'll find my way
    You'll wake up one day
    But it'll be too late
    Every little thing that you say or do
    I'm hung up
    I'm hung up on you
    Waiting for your call
    Baby night and day
    I'm fed up
    I'm tired of waiting on you
    Every little thing that you say or do
    I'm hung up
    I'm hung up on you
    Waiting for your call
