Madonna
Louise Ciccone, was born in 16 August 1958, Bay City, Michigan, USA. An icon for
female pop stars thanks to her proven ability to reinvent herself while
retaining complete control of her career. Madonna is also one of the most
commercially successful artists in the history of popular music. Without doubt
an artist with “star quality”, no other female singer in the pop arena has
been as prominent or as successful over such a long period. The single
“Material Girl”, included a promotional video style, the mimicking of
Marilyn Monroe’s “blonde bombshell” image.

Material Girl (
Madonna
)
“Some boys kiss me, some
boys hug me
I think
they’re o.k.
If they don’t give me
proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can
plead
But they can’t see the
light, that’s right
‘Cause the boy with the
cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
‘Cause we’re living in
a material world
And I’m a material girl
You know that we are living
in a material world
And I’m a material girl
Some boys romance, some
boys slow dance
That’s all right with me
If they can’t raise my
interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys
lie, but
I don’t let them play (no
way)
Only boys that save their
pennies
Make my rainy day
Cause we're living in a
material world
And I'm a material
girl
You know that we are living
in a material world
I'm a material girl
Live to be in a material
world (x4)
Boys may come and boys may
go
And that’s all right you
see
Experience has made me rich
And now they’re after me
Cause everybody’s living
in a material world
and I’m a material girl
You know that we are living
in a material world
And I'm a material
girl!!"
