MVOTD: Madonna - "Like a Prayer"

In honor of tonight's Madonna-themed Glee (which I will not be watching until tomorrow because as much as I love Glee, Lost is a show of historically awesome proportions). This has always been my favorite Madonna song - the religious overtones creep me out overall, but the use of the gospel choir is pretty effective, and I find Madonna to be at her hottest with that dark and curly hair.

MVOTD: New Edition - "Candy Girl"

We just accidentally stumbled upon this while looking for something else, and man, what an awesome starting-your-day-off-right song.

Music Video of the Day: Janet Jackson - "If"

Not sure why I have such a strong memory of this song and video. For one thing, my sister loved it - I remember her putting a pair of headphones over my ears so I could give the lyrics a careful listen (she was a corrupting influence to be sure). For another, the sexuality was explicit enough that at eight years old, even if I didn't know where exactly Janet was going when she "got there so many times" or why exactly "If you like, I'll go down" was such an attractive offer, I knew it was something worth learning more about. Not to mention, the dancing is simply fabulous.

(Sorry for the poor quality of the video - it's tragically the best YouTube has on offer.)
