you still rock @ your age baby.Keep it up

"Like a Virgin" was a popular song but the opening line is not great. A classic like "Good Morning Heartache" by Billie Holiday should be on this list...
"Goodmorning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Goodmorning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night"

meh. lame.

I agree with Melody about that particualr Billie Holiday lyric being a classic. As for the Madonna referenced lyric it's only classic when viewed through the lens of her personal career path and life. A more universally classic lyric spoken by Madonna would be "Poor is the man who's pleasure depends on the permission of another" from Justify My Love.
