00:00 You can't get more iconic than Madonna.
00:04 You can't get more pop culture than the VMAs.
00:06 Put them together and you have one of the most prolific pairings in music television.
00:11 We take you back to one of their best moments in this week's Pop Culture Rewind.
00:16 The date was September 14, 1984.
00:22 The place was New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
00:25 The event, the very first MTV Video Music Awards.
00:28 We all know Madonna's Hot 100 number one hit, "Like a Virgin."
00:34 But we had never seen it like this.
00:37 So much to unpack.
00:38 A 17-foot wedding cake.
00:41 The boy toy bell buckle.
00:43 And when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction, one of her shoes came off, which gave us pop
00:47 culture gold.
00:55 The moment has inspired culture throughout the decades, with it being a top costume and
01:00 Madonna look.
01:01 And also spawned a performance by pop princess Britney Spears on that very same VMA stage
01:06 in that very same outfit where...
01:09 Um, we'll have more on that at another time.
01:12 We always have space for more Queen Madge.
01:15 We'll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
