The lines are taken from the 1949 movie White Heat . Tour Dressed in a golden jacket over her black corset and a black hat, Madonna performed this song on the Who's That Girl Tour. Following the song's criminal undertone, she ran around, shooting on target boards with a pistol. At the end, the music turned jazzy, as she slowly shot everything within sight.

Tour The Drowned World/Substitute For Love video theme had been used on the Who's That Girl Tour already: the Where's The Party performance starts off with a scan of a New York Post article, titled "Madonna: I'm not ashamed" which is about the nude pictures in Playboy. As the dancers carry big cameras and act like paparazzi, Madonna appears on stage as a real diva with flashy sun glasses and a boa around her neck. Not intimidated by her stalkers, she sings her party song. Blond Ambition Tour: after fooling around with Niki and Donna during Causing A Commotion, Madonna and the girls perform this dance song. Later they're joined by the boys for a great dance routine. The boys take over and show off their impressive moves, while Madonna gets ready for her steamy Like A Virgin performance.

Lyrics Warm inside I'd like to direct your attention To something that needs directing to A lot of people talk about Dining in and eating out I guess that's what this song's about I know this is not a dining room conversation And you don't have to listen if you don't have the time But let me remind you In case you don't already know Dining out can happen down below Everybody's talkin' 'bout Wanting that and needing this I'd just like to know If you want to learn A different kind of kiss So won't you Go down Where it's warm inside Go down Where I cannot hide Go down Where all life begins Go down That's where my love is Now what could be better than a home cooked meal How you want to eat it Depends on how you feel You can eat all you want And you don't get fat Now where else can you go for a meal like that It's not fair to be selfish and stingy Every girl should experience eating out Sometimes when I come home from a hard day at work I swear it's all I can think about Everybody's talkin' 'bout Wanting that and needing this I'd just like to know If you want to learn A different way to kiss So won't you Go down Where it's warm inside Go down Where I cannot hide Go down Where all life begins Go down That's where my love is Colonel Sanders says it best "Finger lickin' good" Let's put what you've learned to the test Can you make a fire without using wood Are you still hungry Aren't you glad we came I'm glad you brought your raincoat I think it's beginning to rain Everybody's talkin' 'bout Wanting that and needing this I'd just like to know If you want to learn A different way to kiss So won't you Go down Where it's warm inside Go down Where I cannot hide Go down Where all life begins Go down That's where my love is Where it's warm inside Go down Where I cannot hide Go down Where all life begins Go down That's where my love is That's where my love is Come inside That's where all life begins It's warm inside Credits Written by Madonna and Andre Betts Produced by Madonna and Andre Betts Keyboard bass, drum programming and strings by Andre Betts Acoustic piano by James -sleepy keys- Preston Bass guitar by Doug Winbush Saxophone by Danny Wilensky Guitar by Jerome Dickens Additional programming by Joe Moskowitz Album Erotica Song I don't have to explain what this song's about, do I ? ;-)

Lyrics (intro:) Girls can wear jeans And cut their hair short Wear shirts and boots Cause it's okay to be a boy But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading Cause you think being a girl is degrading But secretly You'd love to know what it's like Wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl Silky smooth Lips as sweet as candy, baby Tight blue jeans Skin that shows in patches Strong inside but you don't know it Good little girls they never show it When you open up your mouth to speak Could you be a little weak Do you know what it feels like for a girl Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting Hurt that's not supposed to show and Tears that fall when no one knows When you're trying hard to be your best Could you be a little less Do you know what it feels like for a girl Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl Do you know what it feels like for a girl Do you know what it feels like in this world What it feels like for a girl Strong inside but you don't know it Good little girls they never show it When you open up your mouth to speak Could you be a little weak Do you know what it feels like for a girl Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl Do you know what it feels like for a girl Do you know what it feels like in this world for a girl In this world Do you know Do you know Do you know what it feels like for a girl What it feels like in this world Credits Written by Madonna and Guy Sigsworth Produced by Madonna, Guy Sigsworth and Mark -Spike- Stent Programming, guitars and keyboards by Guy Sigsworth The intro is an excerpt from the movie 'The Cement Garden'. The words are spoken by actrice Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of Serge -je t'aime moi non plus- Gainsbourg. Madonna got her inspiration for the song after seeing this particular scene. Album Music GHV2 Single Madonna sure knows what it feels like for a girl, having made her way in an all-male world. Inspired by a scene from the movie 'The Cement Garden' she wrote about the complexities of a girl's life. The song was released in the spring of 2001 as the third single from Music. It peaked at #7 (UK), #23 (US), #2 (Canada) and #6 (Japan). A spanish version, called Lo Que Siente La Mujer, appeared on one of the maxi-singles. » Buy on Amazon Video Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie had their first professional collaboration when they decided to let Guy direct the video for What It Feels. Since Guy has only done gangster movies so far, many fans reacted surprised after hearing he would direct the video for this beautiful ballad. The result of the three day video shoot in LA in February, was a little gangster movie of his own. Not the ballad from the album was used, but instead the dancy Above & Beyond remix, which leaves out all the lyrics except the chorus. "This is an angry song and I wanted a matching visual with an edgy dance mix." Madonna said. "In the video I play a nihilistic pissed off chick acting out a fantasy and doing things girls are not allowed to do." And quite some fantasy it is! We see Madonna pick up an old lady from a retirement home (called Ol' Kuntz Guest Home) and then leave with a yellow Camaro sportscar (with licence plate 'pussy' in front and 'cat' in the back) for a joy ride. She crashes a guy's car, steals money using a stun gun, shoots cops with a squirt gun, blows up a gas station,... "It's a violent video, not something you want to see before going to sleep" Liz Rosenberg commented. In the US, MTV and VH1 decided to ban the video after only one airing on april 21st. AOL streamed the video at the same time. MTV Europe did play the video, but only after 10 pm. Other music channels showed it in the daytime. It was only the second M video to be completely banned by MTV US; Justify My Love being the first. Erotica got airplay after midnight. Tour The theme of What It Feels Like For A Girl was definitely the main motive of the Drowned World Tour. First she appears as a cyberpunk girl, rocking on stage and standing up to her men, even toying with them (during Beautiful Stranger). When she returns as a Geisha girl she's put down on her knees for her male master, who defeats her during Nobody's Perfect. She fights back during Sky Fits Heaven and shoots another evil (male) spirit in Mer Girl. Before she transforms into a cowgirl, we finally get to hear What It Feels, but in a remix version. On screen we see an animated video, which shows a girl having a hard time, running from evil, with painful memories, images of rape,... Though in the end it turns out to be a bad dream. The video is part of the Manga movie called Perfect Blue. In the last part of the show Madonna is a Spanish Senorita and sings Lo Que Siente La Mujer. The show ends with the last shot of the WIFLFAG video.

Lyrics (Justin:) Who is the master? Who is the slave? (Madonna:) Treat me like a curse Then tell me I'm your saviour I'm living with the stranger I used to know so well Waiting for your answer Is a kind of torture Could I grow accustomed to this kind of hell? Are you walking the dog, 'cause that dog isn't new? Are you out of control, is that dog walking you? Haven't you had enough, now your time is up Baby show me your hand Voices start to ring in your head Tell me what do they say? Distant echoes from another time Start to creep in your brain So you claim madness like it's convenient You do it so often that you start to believe it You have demons so nobody can blame you But who is the master and who is the slave? First you say you love me Then you wanna leave me Then you say you're sorry You play the game so well I bought your illusion You're the greatest salesman How could I refuse you when you sold it to yourself? Are you walking the dog, 'cause that dog isn't new? Are you out of control, is that dog walking you? Haven't you had enough, now your time is up Baby show me your hand Voices start to ring in your head Tell me what do they say? Distant echoes from another time Start to creep in your brain So you claim madness like it's convenient You do it so often that you start to believe it You have demons so nobody can blame you But who is the master and who is the slave?

Fortunately her record company realized the song had a lot of hit potential and they released it late March, 1990. They quickly added it to I'm Breathless, though it had nothing to do with Dick Tracy and had a completely different sound from the other tracks. Vogue, a tribute to the biggest stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, became one of her biggest #1 hits, topping the charts for several weeks in the US (reaching double Platinum), UK, Canada and Japan. In Australia it was released as a double A-side single with Keep It Together and was #1 for 5 weeks there. Vogue received an American Music Award as 'Favorite Dance Single'. » Buy on Amazon Video David Fincher directed the magnificent video, which not only pays tribute to famous Hollywood stars, but also to 'vogue-ing', a dance style that until then was typical for the gay scene: it mimicks the poses of the models in Vogue Magazine. The black & white video shows Madonna in a daring see-through shirt, but also in very classy clothes and with different hair styles, while she's surrounded by male dancers 'striking a pose'. Much like the song, the video is a Madonna classic. Originally MTV wanted to cut out the shot where her breasts are clearly visible through her lace blouse. Madonna refused and MTV backed down. Late 1990, there was also a video from the famous VMA performance. On that award show, the original video received 8 nominations and won in the categories 'Best Editing in a Video', 'Best Cinematography in a Video' and 'Best Direction in a Video'. Why she lost in 'Best Video of the Year', 'Best Dance Video' and 'Best Choreography in a Video' to respectively Sinead O'Connor, MC Hammer (who?) and Janet Jackson remains a mystery. Tour Vogue was released only days before the launch of the Blond Ambition Tour so it got its performance premiere on tour. For the first time fans could see the very particular Vogue moves live. It started out with dancers striking a pose on stage. Then Madonna came on, wearing a black pointy Gaultier bra and black tights, and together they danced the now legendary choreography. Madonna's tour was just finished when she performed Vogue at the 1990 MTV VMA (Sept. 6th, 1990). This performance actually topped the one of the tour. Although she used the same choreography with her tour dancers, they were now all dressed up in 18th century French court style, with Madonna as a pale Marie Antoinette in an extravagant court dress and a huge wig. On the Girlie Show Madonna added another memorable version to Vogue's curriculum. The song received an Eastern vibe (inspired by a scene from 1956's musical The King And I), especially the beginning. As we can expect from Vogue, the costumes and choreography were again extraordinary. Madonna, Niki and Donna wore black hotpants and dito bra, and sported a tall and very special jewels-encrusted tiara. The dancers wore pants and only an open jacket, easily revealing chests & breasts. Typical were the no-touch handclaps and the amazing solo dances. During the Ray Of Light era, Madonna implied she wouldn't perform her old songs anymore; "I can't see myself singing Like A Virgin anymore, even Vogue seems like a million years away." Fortunately she changed her mind later and opened her Re-Invention Tour with Vogue. And after 11 years of absence, this classic was more fabulous than ever. As part of the stage rose up, Madonna appeared in a beautiful golden (in Europe lilac) corset by Christian Lacroix. The crowd went wild as Madonna stood upside down on her head. It wasn't the only stunt: during another amazing but re-invented Vogue choreography, she and her dancers (again dressed in Louis XVI style) stood backwards on hands and feet and walked on stage like crabs. Like all the previous Vogue performances, Madonna lipsynched throughout the whole song, as she always preferred to concentrate on a perfectly timed choreography. On top of all that amazing eye candy, the performance also included a hallucinating video backdrop, made by Pusher Media. It used all 4 screens to create a 3D effect, which seemed to enlarge the stage. The video used footage from the Steven Klein shoot for the tour book and was perfectly adapted to the choreography. When they were 'walking like crabs', the room in the video turned upside down as well. "Ladies! Ladies! Ladies!" The performance at the Sticky & Sweet Tour is revolutionary in two ways: not only is it sung live for the first time, but it's also mixed with another song. The mash-up with 4 Minutes (and a sample from Timbaland's 'Give It To Me') brings Vogue into the 21st century with a matching brand new choreography, inspired by the tektonik dance technique. Madonna performs at the end of catwalk, flanked by 8 of her dancers, who wear a daring and bondage-inspired outfit. After the name-dropping rap, the original piano sample makes a comeback and Madonna and the dancers line up on the main stage for some classic vogue moves. Madonna then leaves the stage while the dancers give an encore on the catwalk to the enthusiastic crowd.

Lyrics Tu piensas que yo no podre vivir sin ti Tu piensas no podra sobrevivir Que nada me queda, si no estas junto a mi Veras que no es asi Tu piensas que jamas sere feliz sin ti Que destruiste al fin mi corazon Que no voy a descubrir la forma de volver atras Sin ti, yo se que si Ya lo veras No necesito a nadie mas Podre resistir Voy a poder seguir Lo hare por mi Sera mi gloria personal Nadie, ni tu, me la podra quitar Veras Acepta la verdad, no llorare por ti Yo se que asi sera, podre salir Voy a saltar sin red, y no voy a caer Sera mejor sin ti Ya lo veras No necesito a nadie mas Podre resistir Voy a poder seguir Lo hare por mi Sera mi gloria personal Nadie, ni tu, me la podra quitar Veras Veras Veras Credits Written by Madonna and David Foster Produced and arranged by Madonna and David Foster Album Something To Remember (Mexican version) Song This is the Spanish version of You'll See, which appeared on the maxi-single. It was Madonna's first song which was completely in Spanish. However, many Spanish fans complained about the poor translation. In 2001 Madonna would again translate one of her songs in Spanish: Lo Que Siente La Mujer. Video Yes, there actually is a video of Veras! Though it wasn't shown on TV much. In the video we see Madonna in a recording studio singing the Spanish song, interlaced with images from the You'll See video.

Lyrics I don't wanna say goodbye There are some who believe that I owe them something But they're wrong, I owe nothing to no one but myself And there are some who say they created me But only my parents will have that acclaim I took it from there, I am to blame Up Down, up, up, up Down, up, up, up Down, up, up, up (repeat) Credits Written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone Produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone Postproduction and mix by Shep Pettibone Additional programming by Joe Moskowitz Edited by Tony Shimkin Album None Song This song appeared as a B-single on the Rain maxi-single. It's actually a remix of Goodbye To Innocence, starting with the first verse of that song, then turning into a dance beat, interlaced with the words 'down, up, up, up'.

Lyrics Despair, regret and tenderness Is what I feel for you I loved you from the very start What else could I do You read my mind, you made me cry Time stood still And now I know the reasons why Time stood still Maybe you're my next best thing to happen All the things we might have been A flame becomes a fading light That burns inside my heart And like a castle in the sand It had to fall apart You made me laugh, you gave me hope It's over now Our happiness went up in smoke It's over now Maybe you're my next best thing to happen All the things we might have been Maybe you're my next best thing to happen All the things we might have been Maybe you're my next best thing to happen All the things we might have been Maybe you're my next best thing to happen All the things we might have been Credits Written by Madonna and William Orbit Produced by Madonna and William Orbit Mixed by Mark -Spike- Stent Guitars, drums and keyboards by William Orbit Album The Next Best Thing (OST) Song Madonna and William Orbit wrote two songs for the The Next Best Thing soundtrack: the cover American Pie and the beautiful ballad Time Stood Still. Unfortunately the latter wasn't released as a single.

Lyrics Your heart is not open So I must go The spell has been broken I loved you so Freedom comes when you learn to let go Creation comes when you learn to say no You were my lesson I had to learn I was your fortress You had to burn Pain is a warning that something's wrong I pray to God that it won't be long Do you wanna go higher? There's nothing left to try There's no place left to hide There's no greater power than the power of good-bye Your heart is not open So I must go The spell has been broken I loved you so You were my lesson I had to learn I was your fortress There's nothing left to lose There's no more heart to bruise There's no greater power than the power of good-bye Learn to say good-bye I yearn to say good-bye There's nothing left to try There's no more places to hide There's no greater power than the power of good-bye There's nothing left to lose There's no more heart to bruise There's no greater power than the power of good-bye Credits Written by Madonna and Rick Nowels Produced by Madonna, William Orbit and Patrick Leonard String arrangement by Craig Armstrong Album Ray Of Light GHV2 Single This beautiful ballad about a painful breakup was the fourth single, released late 1998. Though Madonna's ballads usually do well in the charts (and this one deserved to), it only went to #11 in the US, #6 in the UK and Canada, and #7 in Japan. Video Director Matthew Rolston shot the blue-themed video at the 'Silver Top' mansion and Malibu beach in LA. Madonna says goodbye to her lover, who's played by actor Goran Visnjic. After a last confrontation between the lovers, Madonna sets for the beach, where she seems to drown herself at the end of the video. Whether she actually does, is a point of discussion among fans. Some scenes of the video (like the kiss and the chess game) are inspired by the original The Thomas Crown Affair movie (featuring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway), while the beach scene is a homage to Joan Crawford's performance in the 1946 movie Humoresque.

Lyrics Should have left you standing right where you stood Should have let you go Should have had the sense to know Like a train you'd come And I'd lose my place Now I'm on this trip I took a fall from grace Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide From the look of love From the eyes of pride Nowhere to go No place to run From the look of love Now I've come undone I've had a map laid out From the day I was born But the roads are blocked And the paper is worn And all the books I've read And the things I know Never taught me to laugh Never taught to let go Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide From the look of love From the eyes of pride Nowhere to go No place to run From the look of love Now I've come undone My conscience is clear, I know right from wrong That's a lie, I know nothing except that you're gone But there's more to learn from the look in your eyes That trip round this world, the stars in the sky Now all the books I've read And the things I know Never taught me to live Never taught me to let go Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide From the look of love From the eyes of pride Nowhere to go No place to run From the look of love Now I've come undone Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide From the look of love Lord knows I've tried Nowhere to go No place to run From the look of love Now I've come undone (Nowhere to hide) (No place to run) (Nowhere to hide) (No place to run) (Nowhere to hide) Credits Written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard Produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard Album Who's That Girl (OST) Single This lovely ballad was only released late 1987 in Europe and Japan. In the UK it didn't get higher than #9 and in Japan it stalled at #20. Video There was no official video to support the single release of The Look Of Love. Tour This song brought a great intimate moment to the Who's That Girl Tour. Madonna is all alone in the spotlight. As she's walking around on stage, she seems completely lost, like Niki when she strolls alone through the city (in the movie). At the end she's struggling against the conveyor belt that in the end takes her along.

Click here to read the lyrics of the leaked demo version. Tour After opening her Sticky & Sweet show with the delicious Candy Shop, Madonna does not waste time and puts the show in higher gear with the uptempo Beat Goes On. In true ghetto pimp style, Madonna rolls in a 1920s Rolls Royce with an M-Dolla license plate onto the catwalk. While Hypnosis drives the car, Madonna puts on a top hat and gets rid of her corset, revealing her see-through outfit. Meanwhile, Pharrell & Kanye share the big screen to do their parts. Pharrell joined the ride during a surprise appearance on the 3rd show in NYC. Beat Goes On was also used as a video interlude preceding the Futuristic Rave segment of the show. This time it was a remixed version, combined with parts of other Hard Candy songs, most prominently the 'get stupid' line from Give It 2 Me, which is how the video got dubbed by fans. The politically charged video caused great controversy for comparing terrorists and dictators like Hitler, Mao and Mussolini to US Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Later in the video, images of world leaders and heroes Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Bono and the Dalai Lama also include the Democratic candidate Barack Obama, who would later become the 44th US president.

Lyrics (from Revelation 1:3) Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy And blessed are those who hear And who keep what is written therein For the time is near (from Revelation 1:7) He is coming with the clouds And every eye will see him Everyone who pierced him And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him (from Revelation 2:1-4) Those of you who have not learned What some call the deep things of Satan I know your works I know your toil And your patient endurance And how you cannot hear evil men But have tested those who call themselves Apostles But are not And found them to be false I know you are enduring patiently And bearing out For my namesake And you have not grown weary But I have this against you That you have abandoned The love you had (from Revelation 2:9-10) I know your tribulation and your poverty And the slander of those who say That they are Jews But they are not They are a synagogue of Satan Do not fear what you are about to suffer Behold the devil is about to throw you into prison Wanting Needing Waiting For you To justify my love Hoping Praying For you To justify my love (from Revelation 13:1-10) And I saw a beast rising out of the sea With ten horns and seven heads And a blasphemous name upon its head And the beast that I saw was like a leopard Its feet were like a bear's And its mouth was like a lion's mouth And to it the dragon gave his power And his throne And great authority One of his heads had a mortal wound But it seemed to have a mortal wound That was healed And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder Men worshipped the dragon For he had given his authority to the beast And they worshipped the beast saying "Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?" And the beast was given a mouth Uttering haughty and blasphemous words And it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous Words Against God It was allowed to make war on the saints And to conquer them And authority was given it over every tribe And a people and tongue and nation And all who dwell on earth could worship it In vain If anyone has an ear let him hear If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will go If anyone who slays with the sword, with the sword Wanting Needing Waiting For you To justify my love Hoping (from Revelation 21:1-8) Then I saw a new heaven And a new earth And I heard a great voice from the throne saying "Behold the dwelling of God is with men He will dwell with them And they shall be his people And God himself will be with them He will wipe away every tear from their eyes And death shall be no more Neither shall there be mourning Nor crying Nor pain Anymore For these things will have passed away To the thirsty I will give water without price From the fountain of the water of life He who conquers shall have this heritage And I will be his God and he shall be my son But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators And all liars Their lot shall be in the lake That burns with fire [and brimstone] (from Revelation 22:10-13) And he said to me He said to me "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy For the time is near Let the evildoers still do evil And the filthy still be filthy And the righteous still do right And the holy still be holy Behold I am coming soon I am the alpha And the omega The first And the last The beginning And the end" Amen What are you gonna do? Credits Remixed by Lenny Kravitz and Madonna Lyrics taken from the Bible Album None Song In this haunting remix Madonna reads excerpts from the Book of Revelations. It appeared on the maxi-single of Justify My Love. Tour Madonna realized the power of this remix and used it as a stunning interlude for the Girlie Show, in which we see a attraction & rejection dance between two male dancers. 11 years later, she brought the song back as an intro on the Re-Invention Tour, this time displaying fitting video imagery taken from Steven Klein's X-Static Process exhibition. Although Madonna doesn't appear on stage until after the song, this intro was so haunting that it was a favorite among fans.

Lyrics Take a bow The night is over This masquerade is getting older Light are low The curtains down There's no one here (There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd) Say your lines But do you feel them Do you mean what you say When there's no one around (no one around) Watching you, watching me One lonely star (One lonely star, you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why) The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye Make them laugh It comes so easy When you get to the part Where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart) Hide behind your smile All the world loves a clown (Just make 'em smile, the whole world loves a clown) Wish you well I cannot stay You deserve an award For the role that you played (role that you played) No more masquerade You're one lonely star (One lonely star and you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why) The show is over, say good-bye I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why) The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye All the world is a stage (world is a stage) And everyone has their part (has their part) But how was I to know Which way the story'd go How was I to know you'd break You'd break, you'd break, you'd break You'd break my heart I've always been in love with you (I've always been in love with you) Guess you've always known You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why) The show is over, say good-bye I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted, why oh why (why oh why) The show is over, say good-bye Say good-bye (bye bye) Say good-bye Say good-bye Credits Written by Babyface and Madonna Produced by Babyface and Madonna Background vocals by Babyface Album Bedtime Stories Something To Remember GHV2 Celebration Single This ballad was released as second single in December 1994. Though many fans don't consider it as a real Madonna classic, it stands as her longest running hit single at the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100, holding it for seven weeks. It was certified only Gold though because the real driving force behind the single was airplay. It also reached the #1 spot in many other countries, including Japan and Canada. The UK was less enthousiastic: there the song stalled at #16, making it her lowest peaking UK single. Madonna accentuated the Oriental feel of Take A Bow when she performed it in a Chinese gown at the 1995 American Music Awards as a duet with Babyface. » Buy on Amazon Video Madonna and director Michael Haussman went to Ronda, Spain to shoot the video. Madonna appears as the lover of bullfighter Emilio Munoz. The video caused controversy, not only with animal rights movements, but also with feminists who accused Madonna of portraying a subservient woman, abused by her macho bullfighting lover. However, in the You'll See video Madonna would get revenge on her scrub boyfriend. She also used the Take A Bow video - in which her look was highly inspired by Evita - to convince Alan Parker to cast her for the 1996 movie Evita. At the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards, Take A Bow won Best Female Video. It was also nominated for Best Art Direction, but lost out to Michael & Janet Jackson's 'Scream'.

Lyrics Put your head on my shoulder baby Things can't get any worse Night is getting colder Sometimes life feels like it's a curse I can't carry these sins on my back Don't wanna carry anymore I'm gonna carry this train off the track I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor Mmmmmm Crash to the other shore Mmmmmm Swim to the ocean floor Children killing children While the students rape their teachers Comets fly across the sky While the churches burn their preachers We can't carry these sins on our back Don't wanna carry anymore We're gonna carry this train off the track We're gonna swim to the ocean floor Mmmmmm Crash to the other shore Mmmmmm Swim to the ocean floor Let the water wash over you Wash it all over you Swim to the ocean floor So that we can begin again Wash away all our sin Crash to the other shore Mmmmmm I can't carry these sins on my back Don't wanna carry anymore I'm gonna carry this train off the track I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor Mmmmmm Crash to the other shore Mmmmmm Swim to the ocean floor We can't carry these sins on our back Don't wanna carry anymore We're gonna carry this train off the track We're gonna swim to the ocean floor Crash to the other shore Swim to the ocean floor Mmmmmmmmm Ooooo Credits Written by Madonna and William Orbit Produced by Madonna and William Orbit Drums by Fergus Gerrand Flute by Pablo Cook Album Ray Of Light Song One interviewer made a remark about how many songs on the Ray Of Light-album had something to do with water: Drowned World, Swim, Mer Girl. Madonna answered that water is one of the most essential elements of life. Personally, this song is my favorite of the album. It's often underestimated. It's so vulnerable and at the same time so powerful.

Lyrics Made your acquaintance late one night You were floating around You know you gave me quite a fright You didn't seem like an ordinary man More like a ray of light You transcendentally imposed yourself upon my bed You know you didn't say very much I'm out of body and I feel so good in my head You know I'm really quite touched I wake up with your fragrance and it's all over me What cologne do you wear? I walk around with a smile on my face 'cause you're close to me Well I know you're somewhere Gonna take my chance on a different kind of romance A supernatural thing Gonna have my fill It gives me such a big thrill to be with A supernatural thing I stay uplifted for quite some time And I'd say that your skills as a lover are very refined You know just what I want and I don't have to ask Are you reading my mind? You're not demanding for a man That's really quite rare You're not the least bit obsessed with your hair You're not upset when I come home later than ten For a ghost you're a very good friend I've got to be a very careful Never know what the neighbors would say They already think I'm crazy I wouldn't like to wake up and find myself in the family way A ghost baby? Gonna take my chance on a different kind of romance A supernatural thing Gonna have my fill It gives me such a big thrill to be with A supernatural thing Gonna take my chance on a different kind of romance A supernatural thing Gonna have my fill It gives me such a big thrill to be with A supernatural thing I can't see you I know you're out there you little rascal Stop that I've got to be a very careful Never know what the neighbors would say They already think I'm crazy I wouldn't like to wake up and find myself in the family way A ghost baby?

Notice the 'Everybody is a star', the line that was used as the intro of Everybody on the Girlie Show.

In this huntingly beautiful ballad Madonna is searching for strength, singing about Spanish eyes. Notice that the album cover and the disc mention the song as titled 'Spanish Eyes', while the booklet lists 'Pray For Spanish Eyes'.

It was released on February 20th (17th in some European countries, 28th for US). Sorry became Madonna's 12th #1 single in the UK, breaking her own record among female artists. It also reached #1 in Italy, Spain, Hungary and Greece. The track peaked only at #58 on US Billboard Hot 100, but it became her 35th #1 on the Hot Dance / Club Play chart. The single cover features a picture by Mad-Eyes photographer Marcin Kokowski from the G.A.Y. gig, which was found by Madonna's manager on Mad-Eyes and then reworked by Giovanni Bianco. Remixers of the song are Green Velvet, Paul Oakenfold, Stuart Price and Pet Shop Boys. » Buy on Amazon Video Directed by Madonna's long-time choreographer Jamie King, this video is a direct follow-up to the Hung Up video, using the same dancers. It picks up where Hung Up ended: Madonna and her girls leave the club, and get into their disco-style pimped van, leaving the guys behind. Once in the van they change their outfits. On the way they pick up all kinds of guys, cute, fat, dorky, muscled, then make them dance and eventually kick them out again. They arrive in a club where they have a dance competition in a cage. Madonna shows off some amazing yoga moves in her sexy white leotard and fights off the guys around. Next stop on their way is a club where they rollerskate on the dance floor and have a cool group choreography. During the spoken words and some of the chorusses, we see sexy close-ups of Madonna with a neon background. While Hung Up was more street, this video is more disco. It premiered on February 8, 2006. Tour Sorry became a powerful singalong on the Confessions Tour. Madonna traded her red blouse for a cool brown leather jacket. Like the video, the performance was all about girl power, with Madonna and her girls taking over the stage. During the breakdown they face the boys inside the cage, with Madonna doing her staggering yoga choreography from the video to win her fight with Jason. At the end of the performance, Madonna gives the crowd the middle finger who immediately mirrors her. "Talk is cheap mother f*ckers! Many talk the talk, but how many walk the walk?" After Like It Or Not there's a Sorry remix as interlude, which got known as Don't Talk, Don't Speak. The screens show a politically engaged video with war images intertwined with images of world leaders, dictators and terrorists, such as Bush, Saddam and Hitler. On stage a male and a female dancer chase and fight each other until they disappear from the catwalk.

Lyrics Sky fits heaven so fly it That's what the prophet said to me Child fits mother so hold your baby tight That's what my future could see Fate fits karma so use it That's what the wise man said to me Love fits virtue so hold on to the light That's what our future will be Traveling down this road Watching the signs as I go I think I'll follow the sun Isn't everyone just Traveling down their own road Watching the signs as they go I think I'll follow my heart It's a very good place to start Traveling down my own road Watching the signs as I go Traveling down my own road And I'm watching the signs as I go Traveling traveling Watching the signs as I go Hand fits giving so do it That's what the Gospel said to me Life fits living so let your judgments go That's how our future should be Traveling down this road Watching the signs as I go I think I'll follow the sun Isn't everyone just Traveling down their own road Watching the signs as they go I think I'll follow my heart It's a very good place to start Traveling down my own road Watching the signs as they go Traveling down my own road And I'm watching the signs as I go Traveling traveling Watching the signs as I go Credits Written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard Produced by Madonna, William Orbit and Patrick Leonard Sky Fits Heaven contains some lines from a poem by Max Blagg. The original poem reads: "Sky fits heaven, so ride it. Child fits mother, so hold your baby tight. Lips fit mouth, so kiss them". Blagg recited this poem for a 1993 Gap commercial, 10 years before Madonna did her own Gap ad. It was rumoured that Madonna paid Blagg for using the lines without having to credit him in the album's liner notes. Album Ray Of Light Song This catchy dance-trance song wasn't released as a single, but was a favorite among remixers. Two remixes featured as B-singles for Drowned World/Substitute For Love (UK and Japan). Tour No doubt one of the highlights of the Drowned World Tour was the performance of Sky Fits Heaven. During Mer Girl all of a sudden the beat kicks in and Madonna jumps from the jungle-like decor. Attached to a cord she flies through the sky, kicking the 'evil spirit' dancers in a true kungfu-style. Inspiration for this scene was the movie 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.

I'm not like this all the time (kiss, kiss,...) I'm not like this all the time (kiss, kiss, kiss me...) Put your hand on my skin Put your hand on my skin Credits Written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard Produced by Madonna, William Orbit and Marius De Vries Guitar by Marc Moreau Album Ray Of Light Song With Skin Madonna's music evolves more into tribal dance-trance and techno, a new sound she tries for the first time and which is best illustrated with her nickname during the making of the Ray Of Light album: Veronica Electronica... The original title for this song was 'Flirtation Dance'. In a MTV documentary with Kurt Loder we see Madonna scratching that title and replacing it by 'Skin'. When Kurt asks her what the original title was, she just answers 'never mind!'. Skin was first rumoured to become the final single for the Ray Of Light album, but these plans got cancelled, probably because of insufficient time between the releases of Nothing Really Matters and Beautiful Stranger.
