美國樂壇女皇〔瑪丹娜〕與一代性感女神〔瑪麗蓮夢露〕的交集──流行經典──反諷資本社會現象的〔Material Girl／拜金女孩〕
Material Girl lyrics
Songwriters: Rans, Robert S; Brown, Peter H;
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think theyre okay
If they dont give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they cant see the light, thats right, thats right
Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
Thats alright with me
If they cant raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I dont let them play, no way, no way
Only boys that save their pennies
Make my rainy day
Cause they are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go
And thats alright you see
Experience has made me rich
And now theyre after me
Cause everybodys living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
A material, a material
A material, a material world
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world
(Material)
Living in a material world
１９８５年１月底 剛以〔Like A Virgin／宛如處女〕走紅全球的美國當紅炸子雞瑪丹娜（Madonna，１９５８－）推出〔Like A Virgin〕專輯第二主打〔Material Girl／拜金女孩〕
來諷刺資本主義社會的拜金現象
這是一首結合新浪潮與電子合成編曲的流行 旋律討好 節奏輕快
果然受到熱烈歡迎 登上美國流行榜雙週亞軍（舞廳播放冠軍 黑人榜＃５０） 成為金唱片（＞５０萬張）
國際市場表現亦佳 歐洲榜＃５ 日本國際榜亞軍 英國／比利時／愛爾蘭＃３
加拿大／澳洲＃４ 紐西蘭＃５ 荷蘭＃７ 奧地利＃８ 西班牙＃１０ 德國＃１３ 瑞士＃１５義大利＃１８ 法國＃４７
MV則是取樣性感女神瑪麗蓮夢露（Marilyn Monroe，１９２６－１９６２）１９５３年〔Gentlemen Prefer Blondes／紳士愛美人〕的中一段歌舞〔Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Frend／鑽石是女孩的好朋友〕
這是瑪丹娜最喜歡的夢露電影場面 她主動提出以此做為音樂錄影帶主題
MV中瑪丹娜身著粉紅禮服 在一群男性舞者眾星拱月下表演
跟夢露不同 瑪丹娜似乎更加風騷
這支音樂錄影帶推出後果然造成話題 不但奠定瑪丹娜流行偶像的地位
更讓她成為８０年代樂壇性感女神
不過〔Material Girl〕雖然讓娜姐爆紅 也形成她某種程度的桎梏
因為這變成她代名詞 至今國外媒體仍以此為其代號
瑪丹娜後來提到有點後悔灌錄〔Material Girl〕
因為她根本不是拜金主義者 娜姐只是想以此來反諷社會現象
Anyway, 〔Material Girl〕仍是瑪丹娜事業的一大代表作
推薦這首流行經典給各位
