Dress You Up (Live The Virgin Tour 1985)

"Dress You Up" is a song by American singer Madonna from her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984). It was released on July 31, 1985 as the album's final single, by Sire Records. The song was the last track to be added to the album as it was submitted late by songwriters Andrea LaRusso and Peggy Stanziale. Madonna pushed for the song's inclusion on Like a Virgin as she particularly liked its lyrics. Musically, the song is a drum beat driven dance track featuring instrumentation from guitars and vocals from a choir and a guitar solo played by Nile Rodgers, who also produced the song. The lyrics are an extended metaphor for fashion and lust, comparing dressing up with passion. A live performance from Madonna's first tour was used as the music video.
