Talk:Open Your Heart (Madonna song)

message: There is an apparent oversight in the current version of the article, where it lists "Susan Bordo" as a footnote for a quote, but doesn't list her or her work in the references. The quote appears to come from her published book "Unbearable weight : feminism, Western culture, and the body", according to Google books. -- Michael Devore (talk) 06:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Did this enter at 67 on the UK chart? I always thought it entered at number 8, in fact it was number 4 in it's second week, and I would have remembered a jump of 63 places as it would have no doubt been a record at the time. Anyone out there who has the capability to post link related evidence fancy adjusting this please.Turdalina (talk) 17:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The expression "innocent feelings of boy-meets-girl romance" (see item 1 below) might mislead some readers into thinking that the girl and the boy described in the lyrics meet each other although there is no evidence of this.
I think the love depicted in the song should be clearly described as a distant admiration kind of love. To be concrete, I suggest the following changes:
1. In the first paragraph: Replace:
'Lyrically "Open Your Heart" is a love song, talking about innocent feelings of boy-meets-girl romance and Madonna expressing her sexual desire.' by:
'Lyrically "Open Your Heart" is a song about a distant admiration kind of love and is talking about innocent feelings of boy-meets-girl romance and Madonna expressing her sexual desire.'
2. In Composition and lyrics, the first paragraph: After:
'Lyrically, "Open Your Heart" is a simple love song.' add:
'It describes a distant admiration kind of love felt by the girl. The line: "I see you on the street and you walk on by" shows the girl's physical separation from the boy, and the line: "But you choose to look the other way" shows that the boy ignores her so that the love remains unrealized.'.
3. In Music video: Put the last 2 sentences ('The tension between …' and 'Only when she disappears …') into a separate paragraph.
4. In Music video: Add after the last sentence:
'The part of the video that shows the stripper in the club is like a metaphor for the lyrics. The physical separation in the video between the stripper and the customers corresponds to the physical separation in the lyrics between the girl and the boy. In addition, although the relationships in the video and the relationship in the lyrics are different, they share the property of being unrealized relationships.'
