Wiki

Synopsis

The Androids perform their cheeky pop-rock anthem while drag queens impersonate the female pop stars named in the lyrics: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Kylie Minogue and Madonna. The clip turns the song's playful ranking of celebrity desirability into an exaggerated parade of costumes, gestures and star personas. By presenting these famous images through deliberately theatrical impersonations, the video emphasizes the song's satire of early-2000s pop culture, celebrity branding and the idea of comparing women as commodities.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video features drag performers dressed as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Kylie Minogue and Madonna, directly visualizing the celebrities mentioned in the song.
  • The clip was made at remarkable speed. Reports from the period noted that filming began roughly two weeks after the recording of the track had been completed.
  • Madonna was sent a copy of the song for approval and reportedly loved it, despite the track placing her above the other pop stars in its deliberately provocative comparison.
  • "Do It with Madonna" became the Androids' breakthrough release, reaching No. 4 in Australia, earning a platinum certification and reaching No. 15 in the United Kingdom.
  • The video won the ARIA Award for Best Video at the 2003 ARIA Music Awards, giving the band major recognition for a clip built around parody rather than a conventional performance concept.
  • The video is now one of the band's defining pieces of work. The Androids' later singles did not match the commercial impact of "Do It with Madonna," leaving the clip closely tied to their early-2000s identity.
