Strike a pose
Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue, vogue

Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It’s everywhere that you go [look around]
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know [life that you know]

When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called a dance floor, and here’s what it’s for, so

Chorus:

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music [move to the music]
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow [go with the flow]
You know you can do it

All you need is your own imagination
So use it that’s what it’s for [that’s what it’s for]
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door [open up the door]

It makes no difference if you’re black or white
If you’re a boy or a girl
If the music’s pumping it will give you new life
You’re a superstar, yes, that’s what you are, you know it

(chorus, substituting “groove” for “move”)

Beauty’s where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That’s where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life’s a ball
So get up on the dance floor

(chorus)

Vogue, [Vogue]
Beauty’s where you find it [move to the music]
Vogue, [Vogue]
Beauty’s where you find it [go with the flow]

Fellows that were in the mood
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it
Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it

Vogue, vogue

Oooh, you’ve got to
Let your body move to the music
Oooh, you’ve got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Oooh, you’ve got to

Madonna travelled to the Indian Well Valley of the Mojave Desert in California to shoot the music video for “Frozen” from January 7-10, 1998. It was directed by Chris Cunningham, and was inspired by the movies The English Patient and The Sheltering Sky. Madonna walks about the desert wearing a black dress and wig with her hands painted with Henna tattoos. The video also contains stunning special effects of Madonna changing into crows and a doberman, which won an MTV Video Music Award for “Best Special Effects” in 1998. The cinematography was done by Darius Khondji, who also shot Madonna’s 1993 music video “Fever”, and the 1996 film Evita.

The video premiered on February 12, 1998 in Europe and on MTV four days later. There were also two remix videos of “Frozen” released that same year by Dan-O-Rama titled “Stereo MC’s Mix” and “Calderone Club Mix”.

The video was parodied by Australian comedienne Gina Riley in an episode of the short-lived sketch show “Something Stupid”.

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
Youre frozen
When your hearts not open

Youre so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
Youre broken
When your hearts not open

Chorus:

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, wed never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now theres no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
Youre frozen
When your hearts not open

(chorus)
(verse)
(chorus, repeat)

If I could melt your heart

At the moment I can not make a full overview about the Madonna life and works in the music industry. I can not dig enough deep in her life. So, please accept my apologies. If you are interested in Madonna life and you would like to know little bit more from her please read the article below:

Madonna, from her true name Louise Veronica Ciccone, was born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City, in the suburbs of Strait or it grows in a modest medium. His/her mother dies whereas it is only six years old. The new woman of its father wishes to bring a good education to him and the small Louise finds herself in pension in a catholic school. There, associating the sisters superhuman beings and thinking them thus famous, it decides that it will become good sister and by the famous force of the things. It gives up the idea to become good sister but guard at the head that to come celebrates, in 1978 it leaves to New York to try its chance. It exerts multiples odd jobs to earn its living before pointing out itself of the French singer Patrick Hernandez: it is its first step towards success. However, fortune is still not with return and to live, it makes some appearances with the cinema and poses naked for meetings photographs.

In 1981, it meets the new Yorkean DJ Mark Kamins which makes it return in the house of disc Lord Records Company. The following year, it records its first individual (”Everybody”) which is a tube in the discotheques. In 1983 its first album leaves which propels it at the top of the international charts that it will not leave consequently any more. It connects the albums and is tested with the cinema (”Research Susan Désespérément”, “Who’ S That Girl”). The rewards rain on it, discs of gold, Music Awards and it maintains a bond with its public by organizing rounds marathon with the four corners the world.

After one period of mislaying at the beginning of the Nineties, Madonna reconsiders very strong the front of the scene in 1996 with the film “Avoided” in which it interprets Eva Peron, a legendary figure in Argentina. She also interprets the original band of the film “Don’ T Cry For Me Argentina” which is an enormous success.

After this enormous success, Madonna makes a pause and a small girl with Carlos Leon: Heavy Maria who born on October 14, 1996.

On its return in the vats in 1998, it is metamorphosed, surrounded of a new team her music takes a turning different from what it had done hitherto. The album “Ray of Light” followed into 2000 of “Music” are the base for a new world round which it starts after the birth of Rocco born in August 2000 of Guy Ritchie that it marries in December of the same year.

After some experiments with the theatre and the Madonna cinema a new album entitled “Confessions One leaves The Dancefloor” at the end of 2005. As at each new exit that Ci is a success making it possible to Madonna to remain the female artist who sells the most disc in the world.
