Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Mister DJ
Put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby

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

Music, music, music, music
Music, music, music, music, music

Music makes the people come together
Music, mix 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, yeah
Music, mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Hey Mister DJ

Hey Mister DJ
Put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop
It's gonna drive me crazy
Uh, uh, uh

Music (music) makes the people (makes the people)
Come together, yeah




Music (music) mix the bourgeoisie (mix the bourgeoisie)
And the rebel

Overall Meaning

The Hives vs. Madonna’s “Music” is a classic party anthem that effortlessly blends the garage rock sound of The Hives and the pop sensibilities of Madonna. The song starts with a simple command "Hey Mister DJ, put a record on" that immediately sets the tone for a night of fun and dancing. Madonna’s vocals kick in over The Hives' driving rhythm section and she sings about her love for music and how it brings people together regardless of their social status - "Music makes the people come together, music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel." The Hives' signature guitar riffs create a sense of urgency and excitement that perfectly complement Madonna’s lyrics.


Throughout the song, Madonna encourages listeners to forget the past and live in the moment. She doesn’t want to think about yesterday, she doesn't want to look at the clock; she just wants to dance and feel the music. The song culminates in a call-and-response section where Madonna and The Hives alternate chanting "Music" and "Makes the people come together, yeah" to the infectious beat. This section cements the power of music as a unifying force that can bring people from all walks of life together on the dance floor.
