Lyrics for Ball'r (Madonna-Free Zone)
That's why it's Chinese, damaged, we used to wear concerts, my mom's biggest showgirl, and that's basically what it's all about Flamboyance would be straight to you, on stage we'd just be dragging and win three trophies for every few seconds But there was one time when a kid named Jade, she came in a barricade, when Crystal came, waiting for this When Madonna came out with her hit "Vogue" we knew it was over She had taken a very specifically queer, transgendered, Latino and African-American phenomenon and totally erased that context with lyrics about how "it makes no difference if you're black or white, if you're a boy or a girl" Madonna was taking in tons of money, while the Queen who actually taught her how to vogue was sitting at a table in front of me, broke So if anybody requested "Vogue" or any other Madonna track, I just told them "no, this is a Madonna-free zone! And as long as I'm DJ-ing, you will not be allowed to vogue to the decontextualized, reified, corporatized, liberalized, neutralized, asexualized, re-genderized pop reflection of this dance floor's reality!"
