If you want Madonna to sing like a virgin, you’re going to pay for the privilege. In an interview with New York radio station Z100, the former sex symbol ranged over a wide variety of topics, including the state of her marriage and Justin Timberlake’s butt. Madonna also revealed that she, just like millions of regular people all over the world, is sick and tired of her early hits:

I’m not sure I can sing “Holiday” or “Like A Virgin” ever again. I just can’t—unless somebody paid me like $30 million or something. Like if some Russian guy wants me to come to the wedding he’s going to have to a 17-year-old, you know it.

Actually, you could probably get her to sing the song for something in the neighborhood of ten grand. The rest of the fee is what it would take for her to sing “Like a Virgin” with a straight face. Still, Madonna’s repertoire would benefit by dropping some of the early material, and if she dropped much of the later material it would improve immensely. The fact is, despite her fearsome fitness regimen, Madonna’s getting a wee bit old to be messing around with songs like “Like a Virgin.” But if she can force herself to sit down and write “Like a Very Muscular Bundle of Tendons and Veins,” she’s just entering her prime. (Tough, gristly photo evidence after the jump.)
