Concept Album | |
| Erotica (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: All tracks deal with sex, from the viewpoint of a dominatrix Alter Ego called Dita. This is not to say that every track is meant to be erotic. "In This Life" deals with friends of Madonna who passed away from AIDS. "Bad Girl" is about a woman feeling guilt over her hedonistic lifestyle. | |

Stock Sound Effects: Some tracks have a scratchy sound, much like a radio transmission. "Waiting" has ticking clock sounds mixed in. "Thief of Hearts" starts with the smashing of glass. "Words" ends with typewriter sounds, while "Rain" ends with sound effects of a rainy thunder night. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Erotica (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "When you know the notes to sing / You can sing most anything" in "Deeper and Deeper" references "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music. "Bye Bye Baby" samples LL Cool J's "Jingling Baby." "Secret Garden" refers to The Secret Garden. "Where Life Begins" has the following funny line: "Colonel Sanders says it best: "Finger lickin' good." The music video of "Deeper and Deeper" has Madonna playing a character inspired by Edie Sedgwick. "Erotica" contains a sample of "Jungle Boogie" performed by Kool and the Gang. Another sample, "El Yom 'Ulliqa 'Ala Khashaba" by Lebanese singer Fairuz was used which led to a lawsuit, this was settled out of court. The music video of "Erotica" was spoofed as "Neurotica" in a sketch from In Living Color!. | |
