Fierce

While I'd like to think there's more to Madonna then just her image, sexuality has always been a theme in her work. She's always embraced that side of herself where as a lot of people just repress it/ignore it/don't talk about it, etc.... This was one of her first videos to explore this.

I'm sure it was very fierce for it's time and still is watching this years later. She has very fierce/smoldering eyes that are very expressive. It's very sexy and cute.

I think the guy driving the car Ken Compton was her boyfriend at the time. Humorously she lets him know who's boss.

But yeah Old School Madonna was the best.
