On this Day: March 20, 2012 The 'Girl Gone Wild' black and white music video directed by Mert and Marcus, was released.


"Girl Gone Wild" is a song by American recording artist Madonna, released as the second single from her twelfth studio album, MDNA (2012). On July 2011, Madonna started to record material for the album. She then enlisted record producer Benny Benassi to work with her on the project. Benassi produced a few demos that were sent to songwriter Jenson Vaughan, who worked on the lyrics before sending them to Madonna. From these sessions, "Girl Gone Wild" was created and then included on MDNA. The song was released on March 2, 2012, by Interscope Records.


Musically, "Girl Gone Wild" is a mid-tempo dance party track that draws influence from four-on-the-floor. The song features electro and house elements, and is similar to Madonna's previous singles "Music", "Hung Up" and "Sorry". After the song was released, Joe Francis, the creator of a franchise of the same name, threatened to sue Madonna for copyright infringement if she sang the song during her performance at Super Bowl XLVI. The singer's team stated that Madonna wasn't aware of either Francis or the lawsuit, and that several songs with the same name had already been released by other artists.

The song received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its composition, but criticized its similarity to songs by Britney Spears and Usher. Following its release as a single, the song reached number 47 in the Canadian Hot 100 chart and number six on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. It debuted at number 38 on US Pop Songs due to radio airplay, becoming her first album since Music to have two singles to chart there. It also peaked at the top of the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, becoming Madonna's 42nd chart topper, extending her record as the artist with the highest number of number one hits on that chart.

A black-and-white music video directed by Mert and Marcus, was released on March 20, 2012. It received critical acclaim for the editing, choreography, boldness and Madonna's look. They noted that the video takes inspiration from several past videos released by Madonna, such as "Erotica", "Justify My Love", "Human Nature" and "Vogue". The song was performed as the opening number during The MDNA Tour.

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
