Deeper and Deeper ~ November 17th, 1992

"'Deeper and Deeper' is a song by American singer Madonna from her fifth studio album Erotica (1992). It was written by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Anthony Shimkin, and produced by Madonna and Pettibone. It was released by Maverick Records as the album's second single on November 17, 1992. 'Deeper and Deeper' is a dance-oriented song, and features instrumentation from acoustic guitars and castanet beats on its bridge. Lyrically, the song talks about sexual desire, though it has been argued that it's actually about a young man coming to terms with his homosexuality." ~ Wikipedia

"Madonna wanted to do an Andy Warhol/Edie Sedgwick styled video. She believed, and I think this is accurate, that there was a similar feel to the times of America in the Roaring ’20’s and the Disco ’70’s. A wildness. The video was made very quickly. Deeper and Deeper is a great song, one of her best dance records for sure, thanks to Shep Pettibone. The dance sequences in the video are 100% spontaneous. We loaded a dance floor with people, put her record on, and the dancing began. I have danced with Madonna many times. So I can understand why those people wanted to dance with her as well. It’s a thrill. She also brought along Udo Kier and Holly Woodlawn who were part of the original Warhol crowd. Her pal Sofia Coppola (who I adore) came along, too, as well as Debi Mazar and Ingrid Casares… For me, working with her was a lot of fun. First off, she’s extremely smart. Secondly, it’s all her doing. Thirdly, nobody is more professional. And most importantly, she has the great ability to bring together very talented people, and make them want to do their very best for her. This is true of all the stylists, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, photographers, everybody. Many of them do the best work of their careers during their time with her. It’s a great and rare talent. It is my belief that this spirit carries over to the fans, who are also lifted up by this talent.” ~ Bobby Woods

Slant Magazine ranked Deeper and Deeper at number 33 on their list of 100 Best Singles of the 1990s:

“Among Madonna’s finest achievements, the angsty pop anthem Deeper and Deeper is both an acute distillation of Erotica ’s smut-glam decadence and the singer’s lifelong blond ambition.”

@Antonio was supposed to be doing that :lolly: 

Also YAS thank you for the tag! Deeper and Deeper was always one of my favorite Madonna singles. Erotica overall has some of my absolute favorite music moments.I mean - that little Vogue refrain near the end? Bitch that had my 12 year old WIG. Like she really did that. This thread is amazing :applause:

Thanks for the tag! I suddenly feel like I'm important :selena:

Not really my fav from Erotica... I wish I could feel like what y'all are feeling towards this song, I think it's a bop though

I kinda prefer the speaking songs she has on Erotica, like the title track, bye bye baby, thief of hearts, where life begins
