It was a defining song of one of the signature acts of the 1980s. Bless you, do you remember who sang "Material Girl"?

 Madonna

 Martina McBride

 Faith Hill

 Celine Dion

Answer: Madonna

"Material Girl" was the second single released from Madonna's second studio album, "Like a Virgin" and was a top ten hit on most music charts around the world. Written by Peter Brown and Robert Rans, the lyrics emphasized the material world of the 1980s, but in the Marilyn Monroe-inspired video for the song, Madonna's character rejected the men chasing her with diamonds, instead accepting a guy who brought her wildflowers. Madonna came to dislike the "Material Girl" moniker, pointing out that she didn't write the song and that people didn't get the irony of it all.
