January 30, 1985, a day that will live in infamy. Madonna was just becoming a mega-star and her album and song
Like A Virgin were killing it everywhere, then the second single is released and she'd never live down the title:
Material Girl. The song is supposed to be an ironic statement about NOT being materialistic, but everyone just sort of ignored that and started called Madonna "The Material Girl" for the next, oh, FOREVER years. The song, of course, shot up the charts and is one of the classics in Madge's cannon of songs, but she's said many times if she'd known she would forever be called "The Material Girl" she would have never released the damn song. Well, I am glad she did. The video and song are iconic and it nudged her along the road to super stardom. Here is the legendary video for the song
Material Girl. Enjoy!
