This week’s entrant is Madonna, who has projected one of the most provocative personas from those listed above. Indeed, most of these musical icons embraced public profiles that were far from ordinary. But Madonna was in a league of her own.
She pushed boundaries, exploring sexuality and social issues that inflamed many while drawing new fans to her in droves. Finding suitable Madonna love songs for weddings is something of a challenge, because her songs, such as “Like a Prayer,” often utilize thinly-veiled sexual innuendo in the lyrics.
They often offend people of faith and traditional values. She transformed music videos into a sexually-charged art form, infusing them with production values like you’d see at the movie theater. In fact, she hired top movie directors to direct her five minute videos which were immersive, visual feasts.
Madonna is a dancer, and she has cranked out no shortage of danceable music like “Vogue,” “La Isla Bonita,” and “Open Your Heart.” In fact, she has spent 75 weeks atop the Billboard Dance/Club Songs chart, an amazing record.
Since weddings are family affairs with each guest bringing their own unique level of sensitivity to your affair, discretion is recommended on which Madonna songs you play at your wedding.
She sang an Academy Award winning song in 1990 from the movie, Dick Tracy: “Sooner or Later.” It was written by Broadway Legend, Stephen Sondheim, and would be sure to elicit some chuckles from your guests.

This blog likes “Crazy for You” (top of page). The lyrics are a good fit for your first dance:
“It’s all brand new, I’m crazy for you;
And you know it’s true,
I’m crazy, crazy for you.”
