ネオ マテリアルガールの憂鬱。
今日は母の日。
ママになったかつてのマテリアルガールたちは
今どんな人生を掴んでいるのかしらん。
マドンナ「マテリアルガール」PVより。
この曲が流行っていたのはバブル好景気の入口くらい？
今も昔もこんな女の子はいっぱいいる。
当時と違うのは
40歳以上の女性で
この曲に共感できる人の割合かも。
バブル期のお母さんたちは
25歳までの結婚が当たり前で
結婚したら家庭と子育て中心な人生を普通に受け入れられる人ばかりだった気がする。
好景気に踊らされ
結婚して専業主婦になった途端に景気悪化。
有閑マダム路線が一気に崩れて
復職、パートのマテリアルワイフや
マテリアル X（エックス）ワイフへ…
なーんて展開の女性も多かったかも。
この曲をリアルタイムで聴いて
共感していた世代はもう45歳以上くらい？
今でも現役マテリアルガールはたくさんいるのかな。
まだまだがんばれー！！
Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light (that's right)
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance
Some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play (no way)
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day
'Cause we're living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material
