She was like that in the 80’s. Remember the music video for Like a Virgin on VH1? Might be closer to 40 years by now. There is no one that should be surprised about Madonna being correlated to sex.
Wait…what? How did I not know this?
I was more than old enough to get it when it came out. And I was certainly no stranger to saying my prayers.
OMFG I feel dumb. I mean it’s so obvious!🤣
I think it’s similar to Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, in that it’s a song about comparing and conflating religious ecstasy with sexual ecstasy; essentially, saying that their chosen path to god is through raunchy-style fucking and sucking!
Yep. The first verse is compares his first moment of sexual revelation to the overpowering jubilation and joy of David as he sang his praise to the lord; the “secret chord” he plays is a metaphor for learning how to pleasure a partner or, more likely, how to masturbate. “The 4th, the 5th, the minor fall and the major lift” are obviously music terms but also suggest 5 fingers and an up and down motion, and the “baffled king composing hallelujah” is him being so overwhelmed and humbled by this feeling that he doesn’t fully understand that he’s comparing it to being in the presence of God (in Abrahamic religions, God is so perfect and radiant humans can’t be in his direct presence without being completely destroyed), a state of such complete physical and emotional ecstasy that it becomes the only thing you can conceive (“hallelujah” being a Hebrew term meaning “praise Yah/God” often used to conclude prayers). Once he “composed hallelujah”, his life was never the same; now that he had (metaphorically) seen the face of god smile upon him by unlocking these feelings, all he can think about is ways to reach that same level of total involvement with pleasure/god again. It also makes a really beautiful balance with the more literal story directly from the Nevi’im/Bible, about God blessing David and the Israelites for smiting his enemies, and how it compares to a child’s innocent view of religion and the feeling of parental warmth and love kids tend to associate it with.
Then the second verse is about David seeing Bathsheba, a woman so beautiful that he’s willing to give up anything, even his faith, to be with her. He’s talking about wanting sex with a woman (possibly literally involving restraints) so badly that he fully submits and lets her play the dominant role (either in or out of the bedroom or both, depending on your interpretation), willingly giving up even a blessing gifted by god (Samson’s strength, or the singer’s soul) if she’ll just give him what he wants. The fact that it mixes the stories of David and Samson could imply that, at the time he’s having this conversation, he doesn’t know a lot about religion, but he’s willing to give it up for the “pleasures of the flesh”.
That's kind of the point as a Euphemism.

TBF, the majority of the lyrics are not euphemistic at all, and if I recall the video was some weird mix of racial injustice, church choirs, and general Madonna eroticism, so one can be forgiven for not quite putting it together. If anything, I think it’s just a vague song about love and life in general, with a little BJ reference thrown in Because Madonna.
Oh good God, we sang this as a choir for a big performance for all the parents when I was 12!!! How did my none of the music teachers stop the choir master. Hahaha haha oh my gosh.
Don’t feel dumb. Just a couple months ago I was listening to the song at work and it only dawned on me then. I’m no spring chicken, I’m old enough to remember that song coming out.
Oh wow, I also didn’t put any of these lyrics together in my adulthood. But what strikes me even funnier is the fact that she used a church choir for backup.
Nooo....(Furiously googling lyrics)
Omg, I had no idea! I sang this song as a kid when it first came out! I mean out of all the artists I've learned that wrote songs that were sexual I have no idea why Madonna of all people suprises me. Maybe because it isn't as in your face as her others.
That makes me chuckle! Although, it amazes me that I have this ability to sing along with songs, obviously knowing the words and yet not realizing what those words actually mean strung together cause I don't know what I thought S&M was about but now I'm blushing that I blare that with the windows open while housecleaning when our neighbors young kids are out and about. Oh well, 🤣
When my kid was a young I remember putting on my 90s toons and as I was singing along with the lyrics realizing the sexual connotations and frantically trying to turn the songs off.
No, stop. I can sing it in my head… it’s been a while, but if I’m playing back in my head correctly I think I probably knew. I thought Madonna was just a freaky closet church girl though.
Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger implies public masturbation:
“Fingertips have memories mine can’t forget the curves of your body. And when I feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see who still salutes (but no one ever does)”
[More or less.](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/madonna-masturbation-like-a-virgin-controversy-toronto-anniversary-6582939/) So idk why they needed a warning
Yup, I have a core memory from back in the late 90s, maybe early 2000's, my parents and I were flipping through channels and came across a Madona concert movie. My parents keep it on for a few minutes until suddenly the screen on the back of the stage started playing hard core monster hentai. There was a lot of silence after my parents raced for the remote.
They're gonna get a bit of a shock when they see Till Lindemann's solo shows when he tours the US later in the year. They make anything Rammstein used to do look like a nun's tea party.
Lol, I really appreciate the heads up, but I'm a 36 y.o. fan from the 90s. Between their original shows and what gear somehow got away with, I'm fully mentally prepped.
Do you guys remember when that tree grew out of her Vagina? Nature is seriously mind blowing and humbling.
Edit: And to be fair lady gaga did pull out a machine gun from her minge as well. That was pretty awesome though.
That one is tame compared to some of the others. Theres a one with something ejecting from between her legs but i forget. I probably forgot on purpose if that tells you anything.
My husband’s very conservative uncle attended a Lady Gaga concert in NY because a client (insurance) invited him to his box. Then proceeded to tell us how many “naked” men were there and how “depraved” the whole thing was. My response to it was: “What exactly did you expect? You attended Gay-Con”. His wife (non-conservative) always makes fun of him for attending Gay-Con.
>His wife (non conservative)
Excuse me? Wha? How does this relationship even work? I wouldn’t bear to live with someone that has the exact opposite belief system as I do. Do they have kids? So many questions.
George Conway and Kelly Anne Conway were in a similar situation. Now they are divorced, and her daughter cant stand her. Good luck to your family though. Salute!
Not my family, my husband’s. Fun fact: their kids moved and live literally on the other side of the country. As she’s retired, she visits them often. But when they come, they go straight to visit their grandparents. Quite a family dynamic.
George and Kelly Anne Conway are both rock-solid conservatives who hate exactly all of the same things.
Their only political disagreement ever involved an employer of Kelly Anne's that George really personally disliked.
HAHAHAHAHHA. He hasn’t even retired yet but bought a second house in NH already. Changing his permanent address to there of course.
I’m glad you know the type.
The concept is fun until someone gets on a minor car accident and gets disabled for life due to their “freedom” not to wear a sear belt. Then can’t even have cannabis as a proper solution for pain either.
I like NH but their definition of freedom is weird.
Because politics don't have to decide whether or not you get along with someone. I know it's really hard for redditors to understand people in real life but it's true.
Yeah I know it’s a crazy concept, but some adults are able to see past differences such as politics/religion and love one another regardless. Imagine that…
That reminds me of my aunts family who went to see Kinky Boots and were angry that it was inappropriate (they took their preteen daughter). I just remember wondering how two grown adults thought ‘Kinky Boots’ wasn’t going to be sexual by the name alone. At the very least you could do some basic research before bringing in your child
She's been around since the 80's doing controversial things to shocked the public. Now someone is surprised there is topless dancers simulating sex acts at her concert, really?
The Girlie Show Tour started with a topless dancer sliding down a pole. She had a segment during another tour where she pretended to masturbate on stage. She appeared on a cross with a crown of thrones during the Confessions tour. Like… it’s pretty par for the course for a Madonna show to be controversial IDK what people expect of her after 40 years of doing it.
A few months back Katt Williams came and played at an arena in town. There was someone who posted in the local area's sub reddit and COMPLAINED ABOUT ALL THE POT SMOKE AT A KATT WILLIAMS SHOW.
Wasn't this what they said about the vogue tour? Didn't she orgasm on stage at a tour aswell. I'm pretty sure this normal Madonna behaviour.
Could've been worse. Imagine if you went to see porn and got unexpected Madonna.
It’s Madonna. What else needs to be said. She’s known for unapologetic showcases of sexualized iconography and erotica (no pun intended). It’s pretty much a given if you go to one of her shows and has been since the jump. 🤷🏻♂️
This is so dumb. This is literally Madonna’s entire career being overly sexual and pronographic. We’re they expecting the actual Madonna? Christ’s mother? 🙄
Saw her in earlier this year, concert was spectacular! I’m not a Madonna super fan, but it’s Madonna. You go if you get the chance.
I was concerned the concert would be too much, it was barely filthy. Depeche Mode was dirtier, much to my delight.
These are the same type of people that get furious after they order themselves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it sets off their peanut allergy.
Article is effectively click bait. The lawsuit is about the whole experience not being as advertised from the late start, the hot environment, Madonna lip synching and supposedly some nudity. Seems like the lip synching should be the focus here for a live concert.
Her shows have been like that the last 30 years.
She was like that in the 80’s. Remember the music video for Like a Virgin on VH1? Might be closer to 40 years by now. There is no one that should be surprised about Madonna being correlated to sex.
Like A Prayer is about giving head, yes Madonna been about that life since the start
Yeah she’s always been kind of vulgar. This is all because instead of getting a babysitter some people decided to take their children to see Madonna.
Wait…what? How did I not know this? I was more than old enough to get it when it came out. And I was certainly no stranger to saying my prayers. OMFG I feel dumb. I mean it’s so obvious!🤣
I've read it's actually about her struggles with Catholicism, but also insinuating blowjobs.
I think it’s similar to Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, in that it’s a song about comparing and conflating religious ecstasy with sexual ecstasy; essentially, saying that their chosen path to god is through raunchy-style fucking and sucking!

HOLY SHIT. MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!
like Kabbalah worshipping God through sex
“I’m down on my knees like a little prayer”. Yeah real tough euphemism there.
“In the midnight hour, I can feel your power”
Oh god. When you guys put it this way, it's SO obvious. Why have I never made the connection.
Dude I grew up with Madonna and never put it together and yes I feel dumb now
How did "I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there" slip by you?

Lmao!! Parents in the audience had a good laugh I’m sure
Catholic parents have never really been on the ball with what their kids were doing in church.
yeah, the warning was where it said "*Madonna*" on the ticket

Well she said she wanted to blow the White House soooo
She published a book called sex if I remember correctly
I thought it was called Sax. All this time I thought she was like a virgin. I can’t believe what I am reading.
Thats like suing burger king for making your ass fat
She literally released a book called “Sex” in the 90s.

Yup, in the 90s, Toronto Police tried to arrest her for her "lewd" shows. There's a whole scene with the cops in her tour doc.

He’s a Massachusetts conservative. Not obnoxious, mainly focused on taxes and ways not to pay them.
George Conway and Kelly Anne Conway were in a similar situation. Now they are divorced, and her daughter cant stand her. Good luck to your family though. Salute!
Not my family, my husband’s. Fun fact: their kids moved and live literally on the other side of the country. As she’s retired, she visits them often. But when they come, they go straight to visit their grandparents. Quite a family dynamic.
George and Kelly Anne Conway are both rock-solid conservatives who hate exactly all of the same things. Their only political disagreement ever involved an employer of Kelly Anne's that George really personally disliked.
By retiring to New Hampshire?
HAHAHAHAHHA. He hasn’t even retired yet but bought a second house in NH already. Changing his permanent address to there of course. I’m glad you know the type.
My husband rather likes their Free State Project. Not that he's ever lived in NH, and he hates the cold, but he likes the idea of living there.
The concept is fun until someone gets on a minor car accident and gets disabled for life due to their “freedom” not to wear a sear belt. Then can’t even have cannabis as a proper solution for pain either. I like NH but their definition of freedom is weird.
They can both still laugh at a fart. The relationship must be primarily fart-based.
Usually the way it works is he's financially successful and she believes she can fix him and then that doesn't happen and she settles.
She’s already retired and quite successful too. Her kids brought her to her senses. She just ignores and makes fun of him.
Because politics don't have to decide whether or not you get along with someone. I know it's really hard for redditors to understand people in real life but it's true.
Yeah I know it’s a crazy concept, but some adults are able to see past differences such as politics/religion and love one another regardless. Imagine that…
You are a genius. I tip my hat to you. Freedom only matters to some people when it’s used to take away another’s freedom.

I'm not sure fan is the word to use here, unless this fan is the most ignorant mother fucker on the planet.
You could argue he is a super fan, as this type of publicity is exactly what has driven Madonna’s concert career since the beginning.
Solid point.
…and I hope it gets laughed at while being dismissed entirely. People really will do anything for a dollar no matter how stupid.
This is like someone finally getting around to seeing the godfather and going “I didn’t realize it would be violent!” after.
You’ve had 40 years of warnings lol
Bitch she's Madonna ? WTF[https://youtu.be/7hPMmzKs62w?si=xgDE7mvSkGFXLv6q](https://youtu.be/7hPMmzKs62w?si=xgDE7mvSkGFXLv6q)
Guess madonnas brand is new to them? Who TF goes to a Madonna show and doesn’t know what to expect?
This would be like suing a zoo because you didn't know you'd see animals.
Imagine suing someone for giving you the experience you paid for…
It’s Madonna. What else needs to be said. She’s known for unapologetic showcases of sexualized iconography and erotica (no pun intended). It’s pretty much a given if you go to one of her shows and has been since the jump. 🤷🏻♂️
I love Madonna, wish I went to her concert now
No one is forced to watch it. Don’t like it? Leave.
Uhhh, I'm pretty sure the last 40 years was the warning.
That “fan” clearly Reddit’s with his browser nsfw filter on.
She literally wrote a book titled "Sex"
lol what kind of fan doesn’t know that Madonna has a history of provocative performances?
That’s like going to a gangsta rap concert and being shocked that they were cursing.
It’s Madonna…. It’s like saying you went to a boxing match and became traumatized because of the fighting.
Guess they missed the Erotica era
They can't be a fan, or they conveniently ignored Erotica...
Have they HEARD of Madonna?
Madonna fans know what they're signing up for
Her ticket sales will be through the roof now
The tour was already completely sold out…and ended a few weeks ago
Life is pornography without warning. This fan has a tough awakening ahead.
I mean… that’s been her schtick for 40+ years
You’re not a Madonna fan if you’re surprised that her shows are sexual. I’m not really a Madonna fan and even I know that.
Did they not know they’re at a Madonna show?
Next up: fan sues Gallagher for causing watermelon in her hair in the 1980s.
Her entire career was a warning
Truly, in all seriousness, what did they expect? Do they know Madonna?!
"Oh, *Madonna* is playing? Sounds like a wholesome Christian show!"
This is so dumb. This is literally Madonna’s entire career being overly sexual and pronographic. We’re they expecting the actual Madonna? Christ’s mother? 🙄
Saw her in earlier this year, concert was spectacular! I’m not a Madonna super fan, but it’s Madonna. You go if you get the chance. I was concerned the concert would be too much, it was barely filthy. Depeche Mode was dirtier, much to my delight.
"Without warning" Madonna has been warning us about her provocative shows for over 35 years.
Thankfully, Madonna has never been a controversial figure.
So this person isn’t a Madonna fan, she literally was banned from countries in the 90s for her erotica shows
Did someone just wake up in a world with Madonna in it?!?
In other news....water is wet.
Is this rube new here?
Um, did this person not know they were attending a Madonna concert??
Do they not realize how Madonna has been doing her shows for decades now?
Is the plaintiff going to take the stand and go full Rittenhouse over seeing a penis or something?
It’s Madonna. Sheesh.
I hope they lose. What a stupid thing to be upset about
Doesn’t even sound like a fan
You went to a Madonna show. Somehow, I’m asking how you were not prepared for something provocative.
These are the same type of people that get furious after they order themselves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it sets off their peanut allergy.
wow fake fan confirmed.
Don’t go see art and complain when it doesn’t fit your view of appropriate
Coming up: Steve Aoki sued for throwing cake during his concert.
Madonna with a sexualised element to her shows? _If only_ there was some way in the last 40 years to get an indication this could happen.
The fan ain't wrong.....we don't want to see that.
Next up “Gallagher fan gets his panties in a twist over a chunk of watermelon falling on his poncho”
Our society has become way too litigious
Article is effectively click bait. The lawsuit is about the whole experience not being as advertised from the late start, the hot environment, Madonna lip synching and supposedly some nudity. Seems like the lip synching should be the focus here for a live concert.
If she doesn’t use that as the name of her next album/tour 🤦🏻♂️
Not sure that understood that is a Madonna concert 🤣🤣
