Transvestites[edit]

According to the liner notes of "GHV2," written by Dan Cadan:

"...'Deeper and Deeper,' from the same album, lowered some of the upturned noses caused by the 'Erotica' single. But they were soon raised again when they discovered that the track was about a miner coming to terms with his homosexuality, 'I can't help falling in love, I fall deeper and deeper the further I go,' he sings as he disappears deep into the dark shaft.

"The first chapter of the 1994 Bedtime Stories album was 'Secret,' a song that tackled the hard-hitting issue of transvestites. Documenting a man's sudden realization that his girlfriend is packing more than she promised as he/she shares his/her secret with him, she sings the crushing prose '...happiness lies in your own hand...' Think about it. Think harder."

"...A little known fact, is that the ethereal track 'Frozen' was originally commissioned by Haagen Dazs for a commercial, but its unearthly qualities were deemed unsuitable for ice-cream promotion."

This information should be added to the articles of the songs mentioned. Stopitplease92 (talk) 19:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rebel Heart Tour performance pic[edit]

There's an image of a performance of "Secret" during the Rebel Heart World Tour; I believe it'd be a nice addition to the "Live performances" section as it's recent.--Chrishm21 (talk) 19:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which one? Please let me know. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 08:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The one you removed P: this one--Chrishm21 (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is from the Prague shows, the one being written in the article is for Vancouver stop. So there is no saying what she is singing in that picture. Unless she sang "Secret" in Vancouver also and that needs reference. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 08:43, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are youtube videos of her singing secret in Prague tho. I don't know if that helps. I still believe it should be added P: --Chrishm21 (talk) 01:48, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Find me a source for Prague, and I can add it. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 13:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I personally made a google search and it showed no result that Secret was performed in Prague in any reliable news sources. All of them spoke about Madonna spanking Jessica Chastain. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 14:31, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pettibone writing credit[edit]

Pettibone is no longer credited as the songwriter of "Secret" per ASCAP and Warner Chappell. Obviously, the liner note of Bedtime Stories also do not display his name. Bluesatellite (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder what happened there. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 17:41, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
