"Like A Prayer" Part Two

Oh Father (1989) Madonna

Oh Father was the 4th single from Like A Prayer. I read reviewers say it sounds like Simon & Garfunkel but I don't get that. It's a nice song though. It does have a wintertime feel to it so it makes sense that the video features a lot of snowy scenes.

The video, shot in black & white, was directed by David Fincher, who had also directed "Express Yourself", and is probably one of Madonna's best. I especially like the scene towards the end where she's just walking in the snow.

Fincher, of course, went on to direct Alien 3, and then Seven and Fight Club.


Note: the cassingle lists the B-side as "Pray For Spanish Eyes" but it's actually just the album track "Spanish Eyes".
