This is probably the most fun Madonna has had on a record in a long time. "Give Me All Your Lovin" is mindless, bubblegum pop with a fast beat that recalls everything from Toni Basil's "Mickey" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" to her own classics "Material Girl" and "Ray of Light." Throw in a bit of "Misirlou," Martin Solveig's beats and short raps by MIA and Nicki Minaj, and you've got a fun mashed-up dance pop song that sounds modern enough for today's club kids and relatable enough for their parents. Wow, has Madonna's music gone the way of Disney movies - trying to include something for everyone? The video is the obvious Superbowl tie-in with Madonna playing with football players around what looks like a set from the movie Dick Tracy (maybe that's the explanation for the retro blond curly hair). While some may say including the Jabbawockeez dance troupe, MIA and Nicki Minaj is a desperate attempt to seem relevant in 2012, I would disagree. Throughout her career, Madonna has always been one to borrow elements of culture and spin them her own way. Anyway, at every point in the song and the video, Madonna is clearly the star.
