Okay, "Like a Prayer" by Madonna.
- (Finebros) Do you know it? - No.
- Is it "Take You There" by Paula Abdul?
- "I'll Take You There" by... ABBA.
- "Like a Prayer" by Madonna.
She's like the queen of the '80s.
- It's "Like a Prayer" by Madonna.
My mom would be so mad if I didn't know this.
- (Finebros) This is "Like a Prayer" by Madonna.
- Really?
- Oh, what?
- Madonna? Oh.
- (Finebros) The music video for this song
was pretty controversial, because it featured burning crosses
and Madonna cutting her hands as if she was being crucified.
The Vatican even condemned the video.
- That's how you know you're edgy,
if the Vatican is like, "No, screw that, man."
- If a video like that was put out today, no one would care.
- I think what she does is great, because she sparks controversy.
She gets people talking.
I just think that she is... a true legend.

- "Here I Go Again."
- I'm assuming the song's called "Here I Go Again."
I don't know who the artist is.
- I'm just gonna guess Rolling Stones
'cause I can't think of any other band right now.
- I feel like there were a lot of singers in the '80s
that had long hair and they played the guitar
and they were all named George.
So I'm gonna say his name is George.
- (Finebros) This is "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake.
- Whitesnake, argh.
- Oh shoot!
- Yeah, I've never heard of Whitesnake.
- (Finebros) Whitesnake is part of a popular genre in the '80s
called "glam metal" or "hair metal."
And this is why. - (amused) Oh my.
- These guys are beautiful, man.
- It's making me really uncomfortable.
- The '80s were such a weird time.
