Swedish duo Icona Pop pay a visit to the Queen to concoct a mashup of their new song “Nights Like This” with Madonna’s 1987 #4 hit, “La Isla Bonita.”

Truthfully, “La Isla Bonita” was the first Madonna single this massive fan didn’t care for, though I’ve since come around. The 25-year-old tune is definitely having a moment, as an unreleased Britney Spears demo, “Love 2 Love U,” surfaced today that makes judicious use of the True Blue track.
