美國流行女皇［瑪丹娜］──另類鄉村／迷幻民謠／電音流行曲──化為牛仔熱舞的［Don’t Tell Me／別告訴我］

Don't tell me to stop

Tell the rain not to drop

Tell the wind not to blow

'Cause you said so, mmm

Tell the sun not to shine

Not to get up this time, no no

Let it fall by the way

But don't leave me where I lay down

Tell me love isn't true

It's just something that we do

Tell me everything I'm not

But please don't tell me to stop

Tell the leaves not to turn

But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no no

Take the black off a crow

But don't tell me I have to go

Tell the bed not to lay

Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah

Not to stare up at me

Like a calf down on its knees

Tell me love isn't true

It's just something that we do

Tell me everything I'm not

But don't ever tell me to stop

Don't you ever tell me love isn't true

It's just something that we do

Don't you ever tell me everything I'm not

But don't ever tell me to stop

Don't you ever

Please don't

Please don't

Please don't tell me to stop

(Don't you ever tell me)

Don't you ever

Don't ever tell me to stop

(Tell the rain not to drop)

Tell the bed not to lay

Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah

Not to stare up at me

Like a calf down on its knees

Writer(s): Joe Henry, Madonna, Mirwais Ahmadzai

２０００年９月　剛生下第二個孩子的美國流行女皇瑪丹娜（Madonna）發行第八張大碟［Music］（Maverick／Warner Bros.）

登上世界各國排行榜冠軍──包括睽違十一年的美國Billboard專輯榜

全球賣出１１００多萬張

評價也是事業最好之一

首支同名主打［Music］登上世界各國單曲榜冠軍

２０００年１１月下旬　４２歲的瑪丹娜推出第二主打［Don’t Tell Me／別告訴我］

此曲由她, Mirwais Ahmadzai,妹婿Joe Henry合寫, 前兩者製作成一首融合另類鄉村, 迷幻民謠與電音的流行曲

空心吉他起頭, 再逐漸步入穩定的節奏

當時娜姐正處於事業另一人氣高峰, ［Don’t Tell Me］發行後相當受到歡迎

登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃４　成為瑪丹娜第２７首Top５暢銷曲

第３４首Top１０熱門曲──讓她打平披頭四在Hot 100單曲榜（1958-）的成績

此曲銷售逾５０萬張　拿到第２４張金唱片單曲　一樣打平披頭四在美國唱片協會（RIAA）的認證紀錄

副榜方面：則雙雙登上舞曲榜＆舞曲混音銷售榜冠軍

英國則拿到排行榜＃４　成為其連續第十二首Top１０　銷售２０萬張　拿到銀唱片

加拿大／義大利／紐西蘭冠軍　西班牙亞軍　芬蘭／波蘭電台榜＃３　挪威＃５　澳洲＃７（白金唱片）　瑞士＃１０　瑞典／奧地利＃１２　比利時（法語區）／丹麥／愛爾蘭＃１５　法國＃１６（銀唱片-１２.５萬張）　德國＃２２　荷蘭＃２６　比利時（荷語區）＃２７　

MV則是娜姐身著牛仔打扮　在投影幕前漫步

四名牛仔舞者在幕中跳舞, 後來舞者突然出現在身邊　與娜姐熱舞

編舞十分精彩

MV提名２００１年MTV VMA最佳女藝人錄影帶, 最佳編舞

另外也提名葛萊美最佳MV（短式）

無論歌曲或MV, 皆是瑪丹娜事業的代表作之一
