Like a Virgin (Music)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Like a Virgin is the second studio album recorded by American pop musician Madonna. It was released through Sire Records on November 12, 1984.With her second album, Madonna sought for some more creative independence—something Warner Bros. Records was not ready to surrender. She partially got around it by choosing Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, hot off the heels of David Bowie's megahit Let's Dance from the previous year, to assist with production. She was able to write half of the album, mostly with assistance from Stephen Bray.The album was Madonna's breakthrough, putting her in the American consciousness with hits such as "Into The Groove" (which was added to the 1985 re-release of the album), "Material Girl", and the Title Track. The last two would both become Signature Songs.The album would ultimately top both the Billboard 200 and Official Charts Company album charts. It has sold 21 million copies worldwide, being certified Diamond by the RIAA, and triple-Platinum by the BPI.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Title Track would be her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album would see three singles go Top 5 on that chart. "Into the Groove" was disqualified from the Hot 100 since it was the B-side to "Angel", but did top the UK pop chart (her first #1 there) and the Billboard Dance chart."Love Don't Live Here Anymore" would be released as a single in 1996 in connection with her second Greatest Hits Album, Something to Remember.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) Track listingOriginal 1984 releaseSide One "Material Girl" (4:04) "Angel" (3:57) "Like A Virgin" (3:39) "Over And Over" (4:13) "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (4:51)Side Two "Dress You Up" (4:02) "Shoo-Bee-Doo" (5:18) "Pretender" (4:31) "Stay" (4:09)1985 re-releaseSide One "Material Girl" (4:04) "Angel" (3:57) "Like A Virgin" (3:39) "Over And Over" (4:13) "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (4:51)Side Two "Into The Groove" (4:43) "Dress You Up" (4:01) "Shoo-Bee-Doo" (5:16) "Pretender" (4:30) "Stay" (4:07)

Like a Virgin (Music) / int_5dd7c88e	comment	Nature Adores a Virgin: The obsession and scandalous atmosphere surrounding the title track can only be explained by this trope. The album cover also plays this up. The lyrics of the title track make it clear, however, that feeling "like a virgin" and actually being a virgin are two different things.

Like a Virgin (Music) / int_a32334b4	comment	Canon Discontinuity: Madonna doesn't perform "Material Girl" during concerts anymore since the late 1980s, due to the Misaimed Fandom of the song and the way that the media and fans basically used the title as their de facto nickname for Madonna. Many people thought the song glorified consumerism and materialism, while she actually intended it as a satire. It was performed on the Re-Invention Tour, but only because she couldn't learn how to play the chords for "Dress You Up" in time, and the tour director (Jamie King) convinced her to put the song on the set list.

The music video to "Material Girl" was a shout-out to Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes during the "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friends" sequence. A famous scene in Reservoir Dogs had the character Mr. Brown discuss the Public Secret Message behind "Like a Virgin". In The Professional, Mathilda Lando wears Madonna's costume from "Like A Virgin" and sings the titular song while playing dressup with Leon.
