Lyrics: 

[Madonna]
L-U-V Madonna
Y-O-U You wanna
I see you coming and I don’t wanna know your name
L-U-V Madonna
I see you coming and you’re gonna have to change the game
Y-O-U You wanna
Would you like to try?
Give me a reason why
Give me all that you got
Maybe you’ll do fine
As long as you don’t lie to me
And pretend to be what you’re not

[Chorus]
Don’t play the stupid game
Cause I’m a different kind of girl
Every record sounds the same
You’ve got to step into my world
Give me all your love and give me your love
Give me all your love today
Give me all your love and give me your love
Let’s forget about time
And dance our lives away

[Madonna]
L-U-V Madonna
Y-O-U You wanna
Keep trying don’t give up, it’s if you want it bad enough
L-U-V Madonna
It’s right in front of you, now tell me what you're thinking of
Y-O-U You wanna
In another place, at a different time
You can be my lucky star
We can drink some wine
Burgundy is fine
Let’s drink the bottle every drop

[Chorus]
Don’t play the stupid game
Cause I’m a different kind of girl
Every record sounds the same
You’ve got to step into my world

Give me all your love and give me your love
Give me all your love today
Give me all your love and give me your love
Let’s forget about time
And dance our lives away

[Nicki Minaj]
Give me all your love boy
You can be my boy, you can be my boy toy
In the nick of time, I can say a sicker rhyme
Cause it's time for change, like a nickel or a dime
I'm roman, I'm a barbarian, I'm conan
You was sleeping on me, you were dosin'
Now move, I'm goin' in

[Bridge]
You have all the L-U-V
I gave you everything you need (now move!)
Now it’s up to Y-O-U
Are you the one, shall we proceed?

[M.I.A.]
Me it. Licks. I'm so swag sh-t
Glad, no one gave you this
It's super sonic, bionic, you rainy hicks
So I act like i'm off tricks
Let's pay it with sticks
I'mma say this once, yeah, I don't give a sh-t

[Chorus]
Don’t play the stupid game
Cause I’m a different kind of girl
Every record sounds the same
You’ve got to step into my world

Give me all your love and give me your love
L-U-V Madonna
Give me all your love and give me your love
Y-O-U You wanna
Give me all your love and give me your love
Give me all your love today
Give me all your love and give me your love
Let’s forget about time
And dance our lives away

She has DONE it again!

Who?

MADONNA 

I've been a fan of the "Queen of Pop" since her first album came out in 1983. That would make me 7 years old and in the 2nd grade. My family and close friends can definitely vouch for that. (Confession: Growing up, I'd often sing Madonna songs for fun, at family parties, and performed a couple of them (or maybe 3) on stage for the Indian community in Houston, TX.) Don't worry, I chose the "most appropriate" ones to sing to my audience.

REMEMBER this?

Are you still WITH me?

"Give Me All Your Luvin,'" her newest single, features two diverse artists, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.. A wonderful collaboration of three very unique voices and sounds. It's a fun and light-hearted, "poppy" fresh song. 

Madonna said about Nicki Minaj & M.I.A: "They're not conventional pop stars and I really admire them both. I love both of them actually."

M.I.A. said: "As musicians, we’re two women and we represent two opposite sides of the world. If we can come together on a piece of music or something like the Super Bowl, I feel like that’s actually a cool thing to see..."

The video captures the many images of Madonna throughout the years, including football players tackling, dancing cheerleaders, a baby and baby carriage, and twirling umbrellas. Be sure to check out this whimsical, blast from the past video. 

What do YOU think?

 
Are you a die-hard FAN?
 
If so, what's your FAVORITE Madonna song or video?
 
Madonna was also the perfect artist to perform at the SUPER BOWL XLVI Halftime Show, on February 5, 2012 in Indianapolis. I'll admit she did lip-sync the first couple of songs due to her elaborate and intricate dance choreography, however, "Open Your Heart" and "Like A Prayer" were definitely sung in her natural voice. If you watched her performance, what did you think? Read about The Super Bowl Halftime Show Recap.  
 
At age 53, this woman still knows how to ROCK the stage.
 
It was STUNNING indeed!
