One section of the song contains only spoken words in which Madonna quickly lists off 16 celebrities that are considered part of the golden era of Hollywood: "Greta Garbo, and Monroe / Dietrich and DiMaggio / Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean / On the cover of a magazine / Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean / Picture of a beauty queen / Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire / Ginger Rogers, dance on air / They had style, they had grace / Rita Hayworth gave good face / Lauren, Katharine, Lana too / Bette Davis, we love you."

I think Vogue is a great song, even if dated.

By the logic of the left this means all these deaths are Madonna’s fault.

Great video, too. I have fond memories of a bar (ok, more of a tourist-trap) in Chicago where the cocktail waitresses would stop what they were doing, jump on the bar (or a table) and dance whenever this song came on. And they had the moves down to a "t."

Of course, they were also smoking-hot . . . so that was a plus.

I believe most of them were already dead when the song was written. So what’s your point?

Stupid lyrics. Middle school intelligence level.

YOu mean that wasn’t the target demographic?

Things I have problems with (not an exhaustive list).

1) People referring to Madonna as an artist
2) Finding Kenny G records in the jazz section of the record store
