Madonna is now in trouble with Jewish Rabbis for using the name of the founder of the Kabbalah in one of her songs. They say their leader�'s name should only be used in a place where no one will profit.
You know, like Madonna�'s movies.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Mel

I was probably 6 when this song came out. I really liked the way it sounded but I had no clue what she was saying (especially since I didn't understand the context of the song). I didn't have a clue what a "popperdome" could have been, but I thought it had to do with a church, lol!

Neurotic, psychotic
Feels like ants all over my body
Original Lyrics:
Erotic, erotic
Put your hands all over my body
Submitted by: Rage Onyx
"Into The Groove"
Better Lyrics:
Wish I didn't know you in any way
You act mean towards me every day
Don't try to hide it 'cause you can't disguise
I see clearly through all your lies
Original Lyrics:
Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me every day
Don't try to hide it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

You were my lesson I had to learn

Funny Lyrics:

"The Funny Song "
The Funny Lyrics:
Went down to the local bar to buy my daddy a big cigar when I got home he was dead somebody shot him in the head oh dear daddy you're not gonna see me sad 'cause everything you did was bad when the funeral it was through I had myself a barbecue daddy's bones they sure taste good I'd kill him myself if only I could oh dear daddy you're not gonna see me grive 'cause you brought up the worst in me
Why They're Funny:
Even though it was played only on the drowned world tour concerts, it's funny
Submitted by: Bere
"Papa Don't Preach"
The Funny Lyrics:
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind
I'm gonna keep my baby!
Why They're Funny:
I'm sure Pope John Paul ('Papa') was very satisfied with this: she promises not to have an abortion. This kind of obedience is, well, becoming rare among Roman catholics...
Submitted by: Jennifer
There are additional Madonna Funny lyrics available.

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Human Nature"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
Express yourself
Don't repress yourself.
Why They're Repetitive:
Over and over again. We know you have a point of view Madge but is it really necessary to repeat it 30 or 40 xs?
Submitted by: Celeste
"Hollywood"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighbourhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How can it hurt you when it looks so good?
Why They're Repetitive:
How Madonna actually thought rhyming three words with each other practically throughout this song ('good', 'wood' and 'hood') was, er, good, I'll never know but it's definitely one of the dumbest songs lyrically she's ever done
Submitted by: Devil Jones
There are additional Madonna repetitive lyrics available.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"I'll Remember"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Inside, I was a child That could not mend a broken wing,
Outside, I looked for a way to teach my heart to sing.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Can we say 'mixed metaphors'?
Submitted by: Derrick
"Crazy For You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Two by two their bodies become one.
Why They're Nonsensical:
If it were 'two by two' wouldn't that be an orgy? How could they all become one?
Submitted by: sXe LeXi 5X2
There are additional Madonna nonsensical lyrics available.

Insincere Lyrics:

"I Love New York"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London
Baby you can keep
Why They're Insincere:
'...London, baby you can keep', eh? Considering this song is about how Madonna supposedly considers NY to be transcendentally better than the other cities, it makes you wonder why she even made all the effort in adulterating her voice to sound like someone trying to do a posh Queen's accent (and failing) and moved over to live in London in the first place. Strange, strange love she has there...
Submitted by: Devil Jones
"Music"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Music makes the people come together
Why They're Insincere:
I severely doubt this if that aforesaid 'music' happens to be in the form of this song of yours, Madonna. If you're going to make a song called 'Music', ensure next time around that it not only has a specific layout but also at least something essential called a 'tune'.
Submitted by: Devil Jones
There are additional Madonna insincere lyrics available.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Give It 2 Me"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
There's no beginning and no ending
Give me a chance to go and I'll take it
Why They're Misrhymed:
Ending and take it don't rhyme.
Submitted by: AriBoBari
"Hung Up"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Ring, ring, ring, goes the telephone
The light are on, but there's no-one home
Why They're Misrhymed:
'Phone' and 'home' do not rhyme.
Submitted by: The Importance Of Being Idle
There are additional Madonna misrhymed lyrics available.

Insulting Lyrics:

"Human nature"
The Insulting Lyrics:
And I'm not sorry It's human nature And I'm not sorry I'm not your BITCH don't hang your SHIT on me
Why They're Insulting:
Bitch and shit
Submitted by: Bere
"Bye bye baby"
The Insulting Lyrics:
This is the first time and the last time You ever see me cry... YOU FUCKED IT UP
Why They're Insulting:

Submitted by: Bere
There are additional Madonna Insulting lyrics available.

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"American Life"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
I guess I did it wrong
That's why I wrote this song
Why They're Inappropriate:
Why do some artists feel the need to indicate explicitly that they wrote the song(s) they're singing, or even worse, they're singing the song at that very moment? It's not as if, for instance, a poet during his/her stanzas suddenly breaks out with 'I wrote these rhymes' or directly within a painting the artist paints somewhere, on the fabricated door or something, a tag like 'Bilal did this 2K4'. It's just so obvious it doesn't need any clarification, whether it be autonomous or by someone else. 'Songwriter-dropping' is irritatingly contrived. To make things worse, usually the aforementioned dropped line usually pursues a line that happens to have 'wrong' on the end of it. Cliches? Who said anything about those...?
Submitted by: Devil Jones
"American Life"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:

I drive my Mini Cooper

And I'm feeling super-dooper

Yo they tell I'm a trooper
Why They're Inappropriate:
This is Madonna's lame and pathetic attempt at rapping. She goes on to whine about all the things she has - which is more than most people - and confirms that she's not really satisfied. Poor, poor, Miss Rich is unhappy with her untold luxury.... ah, bless! Sympathy is very much lacking from me!

Dirty Lyrics:

"Where Life Begins"
The Dirty Lyrics:
So won't you go down where it's warm inside
Go down where I cannot hide
Go down where all life begins
Go down that's where my love is
Why They're Dirty:
the song suggests "oral sex"
Submitted by: Honey
"Erotica"
The Dirty Lyrics:
I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body
Erotic, erotic
Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...
Why They're Dirty:
What rhymes with truck and begins with an "F"?

Lyrics Pronunciation:

"Vogue"
The Lyrics:
Grace Kelly, Harlow Jean
Picture of a beauty queen.
Why:
The actress' name is Jean Harlow, not Harlow Jean. Her name is reversed to rhyme with 'beauty queen'. This is accompanied by calling James Dean "Jimmy Dean" to fit in with the rhythm, and attempting to rhyme "Grace Kelly" with "Gene Kelly".

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Being accused of "faking it" at her concerts"
As Elton John was accepting the award for "best live act" at the MTV Europe Music Awards he blurted out "since when is lipsyncing live?"? as a response to the fact that Madonna was nominated in the same category as he was. Madonna's reps fired back saying that all of her shows are 100% live and that there wasn't any lipsyncing at any of her concerts. Elton later appologized for the offensive remark.
