11. Like a Virgin, By Madonna
In the opening scene of Quentin Tarantino‘s Reservoir Dogs, the titular characters debate the true meaning of Like a Virgin byMadonna. According to Tarantino, it’s about a “well-travelled” woman who rediscovers her sexual bliss after being with a particularly well-endowed man. This is a pretty hilarious interpretation, and honestly, it does kinda fit. This is not really the truth, though. Not even originally written for a woman, the song is about falling in love and feeling like a virgin again. The song is about channeling that youthful affection and almost obsessive adoration that comes with young love. Love is a difficult terrain, and those among us who have been around the block a few times have been hurt before… and then you meet someone who makes love seem fresh and new.
