The Madonna Rap!!

She's got to be extracting the urine hasn't she? In a neverending (and entirely unsuccessful) effort to be seen as 'cool' Madge has included a 'rap' at the end of her new song 'American Life'.

Lyrically masterful as always (add an 'aa' at the end of words that don't seem to fit the iambic pentameter ie. latte - shotaa) Madonna's little ditty goes like this:

"I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shot
It goes right through my body
And you know
I'm satisfied,
I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysic's **** is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing Is what it seems "

Now is this tongue in cheek as has been suggested or is this what she considers to be 'cool'. To be honest I burst out laughing when I heard this song.

She's pulled her anti-war video as she didn't want people to get the wrong message

Her best quote of this has to be that she this song/video, and she, is anti-war but not necessarily THIS war - D'oh!!!!!!!!
I think she's got more scared in her dotage and long gone are the days of having a black Christ, kissing him and standing up to critique for it.

she's too busy driving her mini cooper and feeling super dooper to trouble herself with war! seriously though I think it's a good move pulling the video because it was a fairly cheap shot in the first place. Protests have no place in pop music, just look how stupid george michael looked with his last track.

Stupid as stupid can be.
George Michael used to be good but now he sucks musically as well as recreationally.
