Material Girl


The perfect marriage of song and video was presented to the world with the premiere of Madonna and Mary Lambert's Material Girl. Nothing in the video world has ever come close - although all have tried. It's impossible to imagine the song without the video and vice versa.

Madonna and director Mary Lambert.

All about this hair.

  1. THAT MATERIAL GIRL TV GUIDE COVER ILLUSTRATION IS EVERYTHING! I remember that and I loved it! I haven't seen it since. That was when being on the TV guide cover meant something. Very fun!

  6. The video made the song. I remember waiting with my friend Donnie for the premiere on MTV in Jan 85. I liked the song, but the video made me LOVE IT. She was so perfect! Still is.

  8. Well, I guess im late. Im just going to list my feelings.. sorry.

    1. buying the scented 12" OMG
    2. did not love the Jelly Bean mix as a kid but now i can hear it. as a kid i actually would skip MG on LAV and listen to the rest.
    4. who knew MG would be part of her whole future history?? she hated the MG tag name for so long? Then grammys she wears DG t then Macys line so i guess at some point you just give in. clever to take it over and just own it.


    Now the video:
    Marilyn, Mega Star, video street girl slut transformation to Sex glamour goddess, blond boy in light madonna drag,
    Popcorn and diamonds, daisies, Yuppy 80s men, Back up virgin tour dancer ( the white one) French Kissing and French twisting fur, money, tits falling out, black lace rehearsal outfit, hearts, red ferrari, cat sunglasses, and the best cocky Madonna!
    so many moments and messages in this video. It really was a mini movie. Every young boy SOOO beat off to this video!
    Thanks for all the lovely art on it PUD! never change!
