MADONNA FRIDAYS...LIKE A VIRGIN

Picture this: A young boy of 13 in a small Texas town eagerly awaits Madonna's new song. The day of it's release to radio, November 6, 1984, he pretends to be sick so he can stay home from school and record it EVERY time it comes on the radio. That homo was me, and that song was LIke a Virgin. True story. Of course the song (and the boy) go on to be super classics and remain a staple of Madonna's catalogue to the very day. It was the first of 12 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the top spot for 6 consecutive weeks and the first of 4 Top 5 hits from the album of the same title. The video (below) was filmed in Venice and does not disappoint. Sexy Madge writhing around on a gondola and making love to some dude in a lion mask. Shutever, it's hot. Anyway, here's Like a Virgin. Enjoy it or be punished.
