ROBBIE WILLIAMS - SHE'S MADONNA
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I Don't Miss You
Just Who
You Used To Be
And You Don't Ring True
So Please
Stop Calling Me
Your "I Love You's"
Are Ten A Penny
You're Dropping Clues
Like You've Got Any
You Got To Choose
There's Been So Many Ohhhh
I Love You Baby
But Face It She's Madonna
No Man On Earth
Could Say That He Don't Want Her
This Look Of Love
Says I'm Leaving
You're Frozen Now
I've Done The Freezing
I'm Walking Out
Madonna's Calling Me
She's Got To Be
Obscene To Be Believed
That's Her Routine
Not What She Means To Me
I Found Myself
By Circumstance
Across A Room
Where People Dance
And Quite By Chance
She' Danced Right Next Me
I Love You Baby
But Face It She's Madonna
No Man On Earth
Would Say That He Don't Want Her
It's Me Not You
I've Got To Move On
You're Younger Too
But She's Got Her Groove On
I'm Sorry Love
Madonna's Calling Me
Oh, Madonna, Madonna
I Want To Tell You A Secret
We're Having Drinks
With Kate And Stella
Gwyneth's Here
She's Brought Her Fella
But All I Wanna Do
Is Take Madonna Home
I Love You Baby
But Face It She's Madonna
No Man On Earth
Would Say That He Don't Want Her
It's Me Not You
I've Got To Move On
You're Younger Too
But She's Got Her Groove On
I'm Sorry Love
Madonna's Calling Me
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Robbie Williams, Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe
Producer(s): The Pet Shop Boys
"She's Madonna" Was Reportedly Inspired By A Conversation Robbie Williams Had With His Danish Ex-Girlfriend Tania Strecker, Who Told Him About How Her Boyfriend, The British Film Director Guy Ritchie, Had Left Her For The American Singer Madonna.
Williams Subsequently Transformed This Into A Song About "Unrealistic, Unattainable Desires," Explaining On His Website: "Well, I Was Lying In My Bed With A Very Attractive Female Watching Tv, And A Very Attractive Actress Came On To Be Interviewed. I Instantly Wanted Her And Not The Person I Was With. It's A Man Thing. Madonna Became The Focal Point For The Bigger, Better Offer And Ultimately The Futility Of Endless Want And Lust. Never Seeing What You've Got Because Of Unrealistic, Unobtainable Desires."
According To The British Tabloid The Daily Mirror, Madonna Gave This Song Her Seal Of Approval After Williams Played It For Her At Her London Home.
"She's Madonna" Is A Collaboration With British Electronic-Pop Legends Pet Shop Boys.
As This Song Fades Out, Williams Can Be Heard Speaking In Gibberish. The Voiceover Begins With The Words "Bono Estente" – A Phrase Made Popular By The British Comedy Series The Fast Show As Part Of Their Signature Sketch "Chanel 9 Neus," Which Impersonated A Foreign News Channel.
Ashley Hamilton, An American Musician Who Is Rod Stewart's Stepson, Claims He Helped Williams Write This Song. Hamilton Had Previously Worked With Williams On "Come Undone," And He Told The Daily Mirror In 2006 That He Also Came Up With The Idea For "She's Madonna." Despite Threatening To Sue Williams, Hamilton's Case Never Made It To Court. He Remains Uncredited.
The Music Video For "She's Madonna" Opens With Williams Being Interviewed While Dressed In Drag, With The Singer Discussing The Difference Between His "Private Person" And His "Artist Persona." It Then Cuts To Williams Taking Off His Dress And Putting On A Suit To Perform, Ironically, For A Room Full Of Drag Queens. This Suggests His "Private Person" Is, In Fact, The Drag Queen He Left Behind Backstage. Directed By Johan Renck And Shot In Los Angeles, The Video Stars Some Of The City's Most Iconic Drag Queens, Including The Late Alexis Arquette (Sister To Rosanna, Patricia, And David Arquette) And Rupaul's Drag Race Star Tammie Brown.
"She's Madonna" Was The Fifth And Final Single Released From Williams' Seventh Studio Album, Rudebox. The Song Peaked At #16 In The Uk – Williams' Lowest-Charting Single Since "Sin Sin Sin" Peaked At #22 In 2006. The Song Did Relatively Better In Europe, Reaching The Top 5 In Italy, Spain, And Germany, Among Others. "She's Madonna" Also Peaked At #12 On Billboard's Dance Club Songs.
