Like a Virgin Song

Greatly Appreciated

LIKE A VIRGIN (Song)
 
 
“Like a Virgin”  is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984).  It was released on October 31, 1984, by the Sire label as the album’s lead single.  The song was written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, and produced by Nile Rodgers; Steinberg said that the song was inspired by his personal experiences of romance.  The lyrics of the song are ambiguous and consist of hidden innuendo, interpreted in different ways.  “Like a Virgin” received positive reviews from contemporary as well as past critics, who frequently called it one of the defining songs for Madonna.  It topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Dress You Up comes from the Madonna album Like a Virgin and is among the tamer songs in her canon; just for starters, the title song on that album, “Like a Virgin” is a lot steamier.
