Material Girl

This song still remains EXTREMELY relevant today. So many people want so much superficial stuff. "A new cellphone, a fourth car, a ton of money." All of us are guily of wasting our money when it should go to charities and environmental causes.

i think Madonna is SO great! this entire song is sarcastic, shes not materialisic at all, shes making fun of beverly hill girls that are.

I think at a time she was, because she admits it. lol She basically describes the shallow way of using boys for power, money and the like. And face it, we've all had our moments where we want to be freakin' material girls.

She's just being sarcastic about how money makes the world go round...

This is a great, sarcastic pop song

Adam Sandler's character quotes this song in the movie The Wedding Singer when he's talking to his love in the movie about how he can't measure up because he isn't rich, basically.

There's always two ways of looking at things and our perception is our reality. Sounds like M was maybe a spoiled brat and use to getting what she wanted. She endured a lot probably more than most will ever. However, she was probably pampered and lived mostly a charmed life. You see M is a hard worker and puts a hundred percent into whatever she does but she's also a queen and expected to be treated as such. Again she likes production and gets very bord if she's not but wants to do things on her terms. She is a trophy and the prize is being with her. If she wants to get a massage she will. If she doesn't feel like cooking she'll get carry out. If she wants to go on vacation she will and doesn't like being controlled. She's a free spirit. Get the point. She's use to being taken care of and although she's been self reliant and independent she prefers security. So anyone who wants a shot with her would have to know these things. Also, maybe it never occurred to her that she too wanted what she can't have because she's use to getting her way. And if she doesn't it can literally drive her to insanity. Nah well maybe a little bit both. She's knows what she felt was really love and not anything that resembled it.

sorry my friends but i can't see the sarcasm in this song XD and less when i see the real life of madonna come on this is just a cynical song, don't you think?

Yes, Lady Madonna loves to have it both ways-to have a sense of Rebel Heart humor and to have a keen fashion sense on how to live Her Detroit Life. Madonna is the Material Girl because she has a voice of experience. All of us-the Rock Crowd-loves Madonna because she is a brilliant artist! She is in a word-brilliant!

I don't make the rules. Sitting on her thrown, getting a full body massage by multiple worshipers, getting entertained by a jester. Being fed green grapes and sipping red wine. A line full of possible
