(To the left, left, right, right, left, left, right, right) (To the left, to the right, to the left, to the right) Get stupid, get stupid, get stupid, don't stop it Get stupid, get stupid, get stupid, don't stop it (What?) When the lights go down and there's no one left But it was one of those things where the arrangement was tricky enough, that it really took some working out to get it all right.Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath These days, people go “wow, that seems crazy.” Those days it wasn’t uncommon for everybody to be playing together even though you’re not a band. There was a percussionist and a drummer – and she’s singing – all at the same time. There’s two or three guitar players playing. It’s something that I really wanted to do and she was kind enough to say “let’s try this,” and it was not easy. And then we did a double of her vocal when we were mixing. It was pressed to do the track, live, with her singing live. that song, the ‘record’ button was only pressed three times.

Fuck you!” is the part that’s covering up the part that’s saying “I’m hurt!” I guess all of this came through in the video.

Regarding the music video, Madonna added on the loss of her mother and how it affected her relationship with her father: One writer described a scene involving the dead mother shown in her wake, with her lips sewn shut, as one of the most disturbing scenes in the history of mainstream music videos-the scene was inspired by Madonna’s memory of her mother from her funeral: in an 1991 interview with Vanity Fair, the singer said that she remembers that her mother’s lips looked funny. A grown-up Madonna follows the child and sings the song, as the child runs away from her violent father. The black-and-white video shows a little girl playing in the snow, as her mother dies. In a 2009 interview with The Guardian, Fincher admitted “I had kinda talked Madonna into releasing ‘Oh Father’ as a single.” The unconventional choice to release the song as single was largely the result of Madonna’s then-boyfriend, music video director David Fincher and his desire to visualize the song. “Oh Father” was the fourth single released from Like a Prayer the mournful ballad describes the emotional state Madonna was in after her mother’s death which resulted in a strained relationship with her father at the time.
