Malcolm McLaren 'Madam Butterfly'

Chart Peak: 13

YouTube

A song possibly better remembered now for the video, regularly dug out by VH-1 because it has some women in it without much on. Well, at least McLaren isn't in it in person...

I do wonder how many of the viewers remembered the song itself, which is another of McLaren's attempts to blend old and new styles, in this case 80s RnB and opera. It's not a bad idea, I suppose, but the execution isn't as effective as it could have been, especially now it's not modern any more. And McLaren's narration just grates on me. I think perhaps you had to be there.
