Madonna (Ciccone) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on
I want to dance with my baby

Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on
I want to dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never want to stop
It's gonna drive me crazy

Music

Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Don't think of yesterday
And I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie, uh, uh
It's like riding on the wind
And it never goes away
Touches everything I'm in
Got to have it everyday

Music makes the people come together
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Hey Mister D.J.


Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on

And when the music starts

It's gonna drive me crazy
Uh, uh, uh





Music makes the people come together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Madonna's song "Music" start with the singer calling on the DJ to "put a record on" so she can dance with her baby. The repeated chorus emphasizes the power of music to bring people together, regardless of social status or background. The song is an upbeat celebration of the joy and euphoria that music can create, and the lyrics suggest that the singer feels liberated and carefree when dancing to the music.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was co-written and co-produced by French electronic music duo Daft Punk, who were at the height of their popularity in 2000 when the song was released. Another interesting fact is that Madonna initially wanted to include a sample of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" in the song's chorus, but was denied permission by the group. Instead, she and her collaborators created a new melody that was inspired by the ABBA song but distinct from it.


"Music" was a huge commercial success for Madonna, reaching number one on the charts in numerous countries and becoming one of the best-selling singles of the year. The song's music video, directed by Jonas Akerlund, features Madonna and a group of dancers in a limousine, driving through a city and dancing in a club. The video's style and imagery nod to the disco era of the 1970s, which was a major influence on Madonna's musical and visual aesthetics.


Another interesting fact about "Music" is that it was the lead single from Madonna's album of the same name, which marked a return to her dance-pop roots after a period of experimentation with different genres. The album was generally well-received by critics and fans, and is often cited as one of Madonna's strongest and most cohesive works. Finally, it's worth noting that "Music" has been covered and sampled by numerous other artists over the years, demonstrating the song's enduring popularity and cultural relevance.


Chords - Dm / F / C / G (repeat throughout the song)

Icon of a song. Love how Madonna chose the comedic route and not take herself too seriously while delivering an absolute banger or a song.

@DionCampbell-zb3ju

Yes, you are so right, bravo
