| whoever posted the script from reservoir dogs, posted one of the earlier drafts because the characters are all wrong. Anyway, I'd have to agree with the unpopular decision that this song is about someone falling in love for the first time, but I think tarantino was right about a slut who'd shagged a lot of men (sadly incorrect about the big dick) , and then she meets someone who means the world to her, and she realises just how lost she truly was. And this guy makes her feel like a shy and inexperianced virgin again, hence "like a virgin". However, the big cock theroy is funny and there's a chance that whoever this girl fell in love has a big dick, just for good measure. | |

| Quentin Tarantino actually believed that it was about a chick getting knobbed by a big cock. Madonna had to personally send him a signed copy of the record informing him that it actually was about a girl falling in love for the first time. still, the big cock theory is funny | |

| This song was good until at the Blonde Ambition Tour, she was arrested because when she said and you love me, she started masturbating in front of the audience on the bed. | |

| Mr. Pink doesn't say any of that. Mr. Pink was played by Steve Buscemi. Quentin Tarantino's character, Mr. Brown, explained the meaning of Madonna's "Like A Virgin" in the beginning of Reservoir Dogs. | |

| for those of u who haven't seen the movie: MR. PINK "Like a Virgin" is all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The whole song is a metaphor for big dicks. MR. BLUE No it's not. It's about a girl who is very vulnerable and she's been fucked over a few times. Then she meets some guy who's really sensitive-- MR. PINK --Whoa...whoa...time out Greenbay. Tell that bullshit to the tourists. JOE (looking through his address book) Toby...who the fuck is Toby? Toby...Toby...think...think... think... MR. PINK It's not about a nice girl who meets a sensitive boy. Now granted that's what "True Blue" is about, no argument about that. MR. ORANGE Which one is "True Blue?" NICE GUY EDDIE You don't remember "True Blue?" That was a big ass hit for Madonna. Shit, I don't even follow this Tops In Pops shit, and I've at least heard of "True Blue." MR. ORANGE Look, asshole, I didn't say I ain't heard of it. All I asked was how does it go? Excuse me for not being the world's biggest Madonna fan. MR. BROWN I hate Madonna. MR. BLUE I like her early stuff. You know, "Lucky Star," "Borderline" - but once she got into her "Papa Don't Preach" phase, I don't know, I tuned out. MR. PINK Hey, fuck all that, I'm making a point here. You're gonna make me lose my train of thought. JOE Oh fuck, Toby's that little china girl. MR. WHITE What's that? JOE I found this old address book in a jacket I ain't worn in a coon's age. Toby what? What the fuck was her last name? MR. PINK Where was I? MR. ORANGE You said "True Blue" was about a nice girl who finds a sensitive fella. But "Like a Virgin" was a metaphor for big dicks. MR. PINK Let me tell ya what "Like a Virgin"'s about. It's about some cooze who's a regular fuck machine. I mean all the time, morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick. MR. BLUE How many dicks was that? MR. WHITE A lot. MR. PINK Then one day she meets a John Holmes motherfucker, and it's like, whoa baby. This mother fucker's like Charles Bronson in "The Great Escape." He's diggin tunnels. Now she's gettin this serious dick action, she's feelin something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. JOE Chew? Toby Chew? No. MR. PINK It hurts. It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt. Her pussy should be Bubble-Yum by now. But when this cat fucks her, it hurts. It hurts like the first time. The pain is reminding a fuck machine what is was like to be a virgin. Hence, "Like a Virgin." The fellas crack up. JOE Wong? MR. PINK Fuck you, wrong. I'm right! What the fuck do you know about it anyway? You're still listening to Jerry-fucking-Vale. | |
