The "name that tune" series with a twist. Can you reconstruct the original lyric after translation through half a dozen languages and identify the song?
Both? 80s, Female, and solo helped narrow it down. Same with the notes about chart positions and units shipped. Together, those meant it really only coulda been a handful of people. Then, the cadence of the lyrics somehow just fit.
The truth is, I thought of two Madonna songs, Justify My Love and Material Girl, but I went looking up the lyrics for the former first, and that cost me the win. Goddammit! 😁
I thought Material Girl first too, then thought it may be a different Madonna song - and hadn’t formulated yet, but Justify My Love was the one I was thinking of. I probably would have looked up the lyrics to Justify My Love first too! I’m super late to the game though 🤣
My guess this week is Madonna's "Material Girl"
Right on Kevin!! I have an idea of how you got it but please let me know. What was it in the clue and/or the lyric that gave it away for you?
For me, aside from the overall message of the lyrics, the giveaway was “rainy day”

You beat me to it!!
Just got lucky this week! Thought for sure I'd click through and see you'd already named it. :)
Must be, you just beat me to it 😁😁😁. Congrats Kevin (that is if we are both right off course)
So close Pe! Again!! What was it in the clue or lyric that gave it away?
In the end, it was the combination of the last two phrases.
Great minds think alike!

OMG, not again! 🤓🤓🤓 I just figured it out, Madonna’s Material Girl, but Kevin beat me to it!
