Oozing pent-up desire after years of suppression, it builds to an inescapable climax (punctuated by Spanish guitar and castanets) drenched in the exhilarating hazard of taking those first few timid steps toward no matter freedoms you’ve been denying your self. "Human Nature" drips with sarcasm as Madonna mockingly professes, "Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t discuss sex" - a statement brilliantly punctuated by the sound of slamming doorways. The feminist message of "Human Nature" would later be carried on by ladies who've proudly taken affect from the icon’s handbook, from Britney Spears (who carried out the song with Madonna in 2008) to Rihanna’s (who employed related imagery for "S&M"). In reality, the dirtiest part of the music is the drum loop, a smoked-out, bass-bombed James Brown-through-Public Enemy shuffle that means all type of nocturnal actions - expanded upon only frivolously by Madonna’s lyrics (taken from a poem by former Prince protege Ingrid Chavez), whose calls for emotional intimacy are more provocative than any carnal fantasy described. This irresistible dance hit is a nightclub nursery rhyme, taking the children’s poem "Star Light, Star Bright" and flipping it right into a sexy Studio fifty four come-on about heavenly our bodies. |
