What? No "Hanky Panky"? Is this some kind of a joke? Given how obsessive her fans are, it's a thankless task for Madonna toassemble a two-CD hit collection. But from the opening one-two of "HungUp" and "Music," two of her best ever, Celebration kicks off with purebliss and never lets up. It's a dizzying, nonchronological spin through the Madonna years, years it makes you feel lucky to be living through.Her hitmaking genius is unmatched and — with the new Eurocheeseblast "Celebration" and the Lil Wayne duet "Revolver" — undiminished. It's almost enough to make you forget that they left off"Angel," which is just plain crazypants.

“Helen Wheels”

A rollicking good-time hard rocker, "Helen Wheels" was not about a woman but about Paul McCartney's Land Rover, the anthemic chorus voicing the vehicle's reckless joy as "she" took to the road. The song was added to the U.S. version of Band on the Run but was issued only as a single in McCartney's native U.K. "I like that because it's a British road song and there's not many of those around," said McCartney. "It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
