I was talking with someone (perhaps several people) recently about how difficult it can be to answer the question, “What’s your favorite Madonna song?” When you are dealing with a pop priestess of her prowess, it all depends, really.
Are we talking favorite Madonna song to club-dance/roller-skate to?
Are we talking favorite slow-dance/couples’-skate song?
Are we talking "personal favorite" Madonna song, perhaps an “obscure” track or one no one else likes (or will admit to liking)?
Or are we talking favorite Madonna song to hear in the car so that you sing along and pound the steering wheel for emphasis and it gets to the point that not even the gawking passengers of the car pulled up next to yours at the stoplight are enough to deter your passion? (Favorite Madonna karaoke song would also fit here.)
In that case, my favorite Madonna song is, respectively, “Holiday,” “Crazy For You,” “Who’s That Girl,” and “Like a Prayer.”
