Madonna's Like A Virgin Is A Hit, But The Queen Of Pop Isn't Too Fond Of It Anymore

You would imagine artists have a great appreciation for the songs that catapulted their careers. But with almost 50 years in the music industry, Madonna's love for her hit "Like a Virgin" has waned. According to the BBC, during a 2009 interview the Queen of Pop once shared, "For some reason, people think that when you go to a restaurant or you are going shopping that you want to hear one of your own songs. It's usually 'Like a Virgin' — and that is the one I don't want to hear." So if you meet the legendary Madonna, refrain from sharing your rendition of her greatest records.

She doesn't want to hear the song, much less perform it. During a 2008 interview with New York's Z100 FM radio (via BBC), the seven-time Grammy award winner added, "I'm not sure I can sing 'Holiday' or 'Like a Virgin' ever again. I just can't — unless somebody paid me like $30 million or something." It's a big bill but worth it to hear the 1984 pop song brought to life by the queen herself. While "Holiday" and "Like a Virgin" may be on Madonna's no-sing list, her favorite tunes are different tracks from her discography.
