Marilyn vs. Madonna

The Real vs. The Fake

“Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” vs. “Material Girl”

Copyright infringer Madonna has tried desperately throughout her career to be Marilyn Monroe. So much so that she ripped off many of her pictures, looks, images and music. Many Marilyn fans comment on it frequently on numerous web sites.

The songs “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” by Marilyn was ripped off years later by Madonna for “Material Girl” (see lyrical dissection below).

Both songs are about a woman being materialistic and using men for money. They share a few common lyrics and melodies as well. It’s clear where Madonna’s knock off came from.

Madonna then made the theft of the song so apparent, by ripping off the video as well. Her Marilyn obsession even extended into her pursuing a Kennedy.

Because Marilyn had slept with John F. Kennedy – Madonna went after John F. Kennedy jr. much to his mother’s horror. Many people wrote that Jackie Kennedy did not approve of the relationship that ended soon after.

I don’t blame her, because with the way Madonna behaves and the sick things she does, which mother would want her dating their son.

Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend

“Material Girl”

The French are glad to die for love They delight in fighting duels But I prefer a man who lives And gives expensive jewels A kiss on the hand may be quite continental But diamonds are a girl’s best friend A kiss may be grand but it won’t pay the rental On your humble flat, or help you at the automat Men grow cold as girls grow old And we all lose our charms in the end But square cut or pear shaped These rocks don’t lose their shape Diamonds are a girl’s best friend Tiffany’s, Cartier, Blackstar, Frost, Ghoram Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer But diamonds are a girl’s best friend There may come a time when a hard boiled employer Thinks your awful nice But get that ice or else no dice He’s your guy when stocks are high But beware when they start to descend It’s then that those louses go back to their spouses Diamonds are a girl’s best friend I’ve heard of affairs that are strictly platonic But diamonds are a girl’s best friend And I think affairs that you must keep Masonic Are better bets if little pets get big baguettes Time rolls on and youth is gone And you can’t straighten up when you bend But stiff back or stiff knees You stand straight at Tiffany’s Diamonds Diamonds I don’t mean rhinestones But Diamonds Are A girl’s Best Best friend

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me I think they’re O.K. If they don’t give me proper credit I just walk away They can beg and they can plead But they can’t see the light, that’s right ‘Cause the boy with the cold hard cash Is always Mister Right, ’cause we are [Chorus:] Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl Some boys romance, some boys slow dance That’s all right with me If they can’t raise my interest then I Have to let them be Some boys try and some boys lie but I don’t let them play Only boys who save their pennies Make my rainy day, ’cause they are [chorus] Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl Boys may come and boys may go And that’s all right you see Experience has made me rich And now they’re after me, ’cause everybody’s [Chorus:] Living in a material world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material world And I am a material girl
