Didn't Madonna perform "Material Girl" on tour this year? I know she's said if she ever knew she would still be referred to as the 'material girl' 20 years later, she would never have recorded it.

I can understand "When Doves Cry". The way some of the verses overlap vocally, it's really hard to sing.

Did Madonna perform it? I know she hates that song.
De La Soul will perform "Me Myself & I" but adlib "we hate this song" during the chorus.
Beck I think maybe removed "Loser" from his set, but now says it has a karaoke quality.
Prince breaks up "When Doves Cry" and sings only the verse or something.

I guess they feel "typecast" by their well-known songs, but they don't have to act so reluctant to participate. They are what they are, these songs. Perform them normally like the other 94% of your set list.
