Let's be real. The Madonna edition of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke could very easily span, like, a whole day of cycling through the hits. But thanks to the constraints of television, Madonna's big Late Late Show moment is only 13 minutes long. As Corden and Madonna cruise around New York City while getting ruthlessly cut off in traffic, the Rebel Heart singer also opened up her relationship with the late Michael Jackson.

"You want me to kiss and tell then, don't you?" Madonna said when Corden started pushing for details on her friendship with the King of Pop. When Corden asked if they had ever kissed, Madonna confirmed such a thing definitely happened. "Of course," she said. "I mean, baby, I've been around." Corden then pressed for more specifics, to which Madonna said the kisses were of the "tongue-in-mouth" variety. "I haven't had the chance to talk about it," she added. "No one ever asks me!"

As for the karaoke cuts, Madonna and Corden took a nice tour through a decades-strong discography of hits. That (of course!) means in-traffic renditions of "Vogue," "Ray of Light," "Express Yourself," and even the more recent "Bitch I'm Madonna." If you're more of a fan of the 1996 film adaptation of Evita, co-starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas, then you're in luck: Corden and Madonna even ripped through a quick take of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."
