Lady Madonna "Lady Madonna" is a song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. In March 1968, it was released as a single, backed with "The Inner Light". The song was recorded on 3 and 6 February 1968 before the Beatles left for India. This single was the last release by the band on Parlophone in the United Kingdom, where it reached number 1 for the two weeks beginning 27 March, and Capitol Records in the United States, where it debuted at number 23 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 for the week ending 23 March and reached number 4 from the week ending 20 April through the week ending 4 May. All subsequent releases, starting with "Hey Jude" in August 1968, were released on their own label, Apple Records, under EMI distribution, until the late 1970s, when Capitol and Parlophone re-released old material.

The Inner Light (song) "The Inner Light" is a song by the English rock group the Beatles, written by George Harrison. It was released on a non-album single in March 1968, as the B-side to "Lady Madonna". The song was the first Harrison composition to be issued on a Beatles single and reflects the band's embrace of Transcendental Meditation, which they were studying in India under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at the time of the single's release. After "Love You To" and "Within You Without You", it was the last of Harrison's three songs from the Beatles era that demonstrate an overt Indian classical influence and are styled as Indian pieces. The lyrics are a rendering of a poem from the Taoist "Tao Te Ching", which he set to music on the recommendation of Juan Mascaró, a Sanskrit scholar who had translated the passage in his 1958 book "Lamps of Fire".

Hanky Panky (Madonna song) "Hanky Panky" is a song by American recording artist Madonna from her soundtrack album "I'm Breathless". It was released on June 12, 1990, by Sire Records as the album's second and final single. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song was developed from a line in the parent film, "Dick Tracy", talking about a woman who enjoys being spanked by her partner. Performed in an almost comical style, "Hanky Panky" is a jazz and swing song with a changing bassline and minor to major key-shift in the chorus. It caused some controversy in Ireland because of its innuendo and racy lyrics, with women's groups deeming them as harmful; Madonna later clarified that the lyrics were intended as a joke.

Dress You Up "Dress You Up" is a song by American singer Madonna from her second studio album "Like a Virgin" (1984). It was released on July 31, 1985 as the album's final single, by Sire Records. The song was the last track to be added to the album as it was submitted late by songwriters Andrea LaRusso and Peggy Stanziale. Madonna pushed for the song's inclusion on "Like a Virgin" as she particularly liked its lyrics. Musically, the song is a drum beat driven dance track featuring instrumentation from guitars and vocals from a choir and a guitar solo played by Nile Rodgers, who also produced the song. The lyrics are an extended metaphor for fashion and sex, comparing dressing up with passion. A live performance from Madonna's first tour was used as the music video.

Lady (Styx song) "Lady" is a 1973 rock ballad written and performed by the rock band Styx. It was first released on "Styx II" and was a local hit in the band's native Chicago, but initially failed to chart nationally.

The track was later re-recorded for the 1995 Styx compilation "Greatest Hits" due to a contractual dispute between A&M and Wooden Nickel.

Judas (Lady Gaga song) "Judas" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga, from her second studio album, "Born This Way" (2011). It was released four days ahead of schedule by Interscope Records on April 15, 2011. Written and produced by Lady Gaga and RedOne, "Judas" is a dance and electro house song about a woman in love with a man who betrayed her. It embodies the incidents that have haunted Gaga in the past, and its core meaning refers to the negative parts of her life that she cannot escape. Gaga has further explained that the song was also about honoring one's inner darkness in order to bring oneself into the light. The artwork for the single was designed by Gaga in Microsoft Word. In spite of a polarizing impact on several religious groups, the song was generally well received by critics, who likened the song to "Bad Romance" with some noting it should have been the album's lead single.

Papa Don't Preach "Papa Don't Preach" is a song by American singer Madonna from her third studio album "True Blue" (1986).

Black Country Rock "Black Country Rock" is a song written by David Bowie in 1970 for the album "The Man Who Sold the World", which was released in November 1970 in the U.S. and April 1971 in the UK. (It was also issued as the B-side to Bowie's January 1971 "Holy Holy" single.) An upbeat blues-rock number, "Black Country Rock" has been described as a "respite" from the musical and thematical heaviness of the remainder of the album. Its style has been compared to Marc Bolan's contemporary Tyrannosaurus Rex, down to Bowie's imitative vibrato in the final verse. According to producer Tony Visconti, Bowie had the music ready by the start of the sessions but the words were a last-minute addition in the studio, the singer doing his Bolan impression "spontaneously ... because he ran out of lyrics ... we all thought it was cool, so it stayed."

Sick Love (album) Sick Love is an remix album by V/Vm consisting of remixed pop songs about love. Each song on the album has been meticulously pitch shifted in order to create a completely new melody, as well as to distort the musical and vocal recordings, achieving a darker tone than the original recording. The resulting album is a collection of vaguely recognizable love songs rendered 'sick' sounding and eerie, at times almost approaching Noise music. Through V/Vm's remixes, the vocalists sound more like monsters and the music suggests tension instead of affection. The affected tracks might feel more at home on a horror film soundtrack than on the radio. The single "The Lady In Red (Is Dancing With Meat)", a cover of Lady in Red, received some airplay in the UK and achieved single of the week in the NME.

Madonna videography American entertainer Madonna has released 68 music videos, 11 concert tour videos, 2 documentary videos, 4 music video compilations, 2 music video box sets, 4 promotional videos, and 5 video singles. In 1982, Madonna signed a recording contract with Sire Records and released her first two singles before launching her eponymous debut album. Her first video to receive attention on MTV was "Borderline", followed by "Lucky Star" and "Like a Virgin", which popularized Madonna's image and fashion among younger generation. Her early videos were released commercially on "Madonna" (1984), which became the best-selling videocassette of 1985. With the title track from her third studio album "True Blue" (1986), Madonna's impact on MTV and popular music was established when a contest entitled "Making My Video", was held to create a music video for the song. "La Isla Bonita" and "Who's That Girl", both released in 1987, showed Madonna's fascination with Hispanic culture and religious symbolism. In 1989, the video of "Like a Prayer" portrayed her dancing in front of burning crosses, receiving stigmata, kissing a black saint and having sex with him in a church altar. It faced strong reaction from religious groups and media. "Express Yourself" released the same year was critically appreciated for its positive feminist themes.
