Like A Virgin - Billy Steinberg
This was unreal. :D Billy Steinberg performs an acoustic version of Like A Virgin that he and Tom Kelly originally wrote. It was great!!!
Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Madonna Louise Ciccone performing the "Like A Virgin" IMHO it made much more sense for the writer Billy Steinberg to sing this song that the outrageous Madonna :-)
""Like A Virgin" was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Interestingly, it was not written for Madonna or any female singer but was inspired by Billy's personal experiences.
Songwriter explains: "I wasn't just trying to get that racy word 'virgin' in a lyric. I was saying that I may not really be a virgin — I've been battered romantically and emotionally like many people — but I'm starting a new relationship and it just feels so good, it's healing all the wounds and making me feel like I've never done this before, because it's so much deeper and more profound than anything I've ever felt."
Reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song remained at the top for the first five weeks of 1985, becoming Madonna's biggest career single."

Lyrics
"I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah, you make me bold
Oh, your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
Like a virgin, hey!
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, ah
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'til the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide
Like a virgin, hey!
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat
Next to mine
Like a virgin, ooh-ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me
And your heart beats
And you love me
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ooh baby, yeah
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?"

LTC Stephen F. I think every breathing young girl/ woman wanted to be as "all that" as Madonna. SGT (Join to see) nailed it again.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - I remember a guy arriving in Germany in 1982 with a bootleg recording of Madonna from some club in NYC. Who'd a thunk it then what she would e love to!

Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon" was a lot better, plus we had no doubt Madonna wasn't a virgin.
