>Like A Prayer
That was 1989
>The accompanying music video for "Like a Prayer", directed by Mary Lambert, shows Madonna witnessing a white woman being sexually assaulted and killed by whites and ends up with Madonna kissing a black saint. The Vatican condemned the video, while family and religious groups protested against its broadcast. They boycotted products by Pepsi, who had used the song in their commercial. Pepsi canceled their sponsorship contract with Madonna
>The MTV video: Madonna witnesses a white woman being assaulted and murdered by a group of white men, but she is too shocked to protest. The police mistakenly arrest a black man. The real murderers give Madonna a threatening look and leave. She flees to a church. There, she sees a caged statue of a saint who resembles the black man the police blamed. As the song starts, she utters a prayer in front of the black man
>Madonna lies down on a pew and has a dream. A woman, representing power and strength, saves her. She advises Madonna to do what is right and tosses her back up to the heavenly blue sky. Still dreaming, Madonna returns to the black man statue, which transforms into the black man the police blamed. He kisses her
>she picks up a knife and accidentally cuts herself, making the sign of stigmata on her hands. Interspersing scenes show Madonna singing and dancing wildly in front of burning crosses, kissing scenes between her and the black saint, and Madonna being surrounded by a choir inside the church, led by the woman who saved her earlier. Madonna tells the police that the black man is innocent; the police release him. The video ends as Madonna dances in front of the burning crosses, and then everybody take a bow as curtains come down on the set
