Single

Beautiful Stranger, the singleMadonna contributed the song Beautiful Stranger to the soundtrack of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Released in the summer of 1999, the single charted at #1 in Canada, Finland and Italy, #2 in the UK (kept from the top spot by S Club 7's 'Bring It All Back'), #5 in Japan and Australia and only #19 in the US because of the lack of a commercial release. Beautiful Stranger earned Madonna and William Orbit a Grammy in the 'Best Song Written For A Motion Picture' category.

Video

Beautiful Stranger, the videoIn the Brett Ratner-directed video we see Austin Powers on the road as he gets the assignment to catch a spy. A spy that's "a master of disguise". And quite sexy too, when we see her on stage on high heels, jumping around and turning the dancing crowd mad. Horny Austin soon has fantasies about him and Mo in the car. A sexy video that immediately gets you on your feet. It won the well-deserved Best Video From A Movie Award at the 1999 MTV VMA.

Tour

Beautiful Stranger @ Drowned World Tour'Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?' Austin asks and Maddy shouts 'And you can fuck off too!'. That way she bursts into Beautiful Stranger on the Drowned World tour. Jumping around on stage in her Scottish kilt, she drives the crowd wild. Later on, she and partners-in-crime Niki and Donna pull a 'cameraman' on stage and make the shy boy blush!
