Like a Prayer by Madonna

Years before she made a living by falling off stages, Madonna came up with catchy ditties with videos where she'd dance around in her nightie snogging a black Jesus statue that's come to life, and burning giant crosses in the style of the KKK. America seemed to find this shocking at the time; I just laugh, as the scene with the crying statue reminds me of Del Boy's scam in Fools and Horses. Good song, though.
Enjoying this classic on a rainy day.
Hello people...in our new post we explore 3 videos that were controversial as they criticized Religion: “It´s a Sin” by Pet Shop Boys, “Like a Prayer” by Madonna and “Sadness Part 1″ by Enigma.

#Brainwashing Number 6...Yup Madonna made the list as well for this little diddy. Back in 1989 Madonna was paid 5 Million ($9,402,077.65 in 2014 Money) To endorse Pepsi with this song. They had a three commercial ad campaigns planned and this was the first song by a major artist to be attached to a commercial BEFORE a public release. Go figure. Well the happy go lucky commercial played and then the MTV VIDEO played. Then the controversy ensued Religious groups and the Vatican condemned it and Pepsi pulled the ad campaign and Madge kept the $$. The Choir that backed up Madonna did not appear in the video and is the SAME choir on MJ's Man in the Mirror lead by Andrae Crouch (1942-2015). The controversial sample below...well this time I am not going to TELL you what you hear, not for a day or so anyway. I will let you decide.
