Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs has many great scenes. One of the most famous is a row among bank robbers over the meaning of Madonna’s song Like A Virgin. Is it about relationships or about penises? The singer found a particularly amusing way of telling the cult director the real message behind her hit.
Madonna song in Reservoir Dogs: Tarantino’s character completely misunderstands the meaning
In the opening scene of the film, the protagonists discuss the inner workings of the song. Tarantino, as Mr. Brown, believes the whole song is”a metaphor for big cocks“. Mr Blonde (Michael Madsen) counters that the play is simply about a vulnerable woman at the end of a series of unhappy relationships.

The song’s creator must have burned the scene into her mind, because shortly afterwards she found a way to correct the director for the meaning of the song. According to The Independent The two met at a party shortly after the film’s theatrical release.
The singer had just released a new album and apparently wanted to give the Reservoir Dogs creators a free copy. But not without mentioning the Like a Virgin scene. According to the report, she wrote the words on the cover of the CD “To Quentin: It’s not about dicks. It’s about love. Madonna”.
