KYLIE Minogue has become pop folklore after being written into the lyrics of a Madonna classic.
The pop princess has been immortalised in a rehashing of the Material Girl's Vogue, rehearsal spies say.
The spoken verse of the 1990 smash hit, in which Madonna harks back to the glamour days of Hollywood, originally begins with the line "Greta Garbo and Monroe".
But that's all been changed for Madge's latest world tour, and now the verse starts with Australia's finest pop export in the line "Britney Spears and Minogue".
The entire verse has been changed to:
Britney Spears and Minogue,
Aguilera and J-Lo,
Jessica Simpson, Avril Lavigne,
On the cover of a magazine.
They have style, they have sass
Missy E kicks some ass.
Madonna famously donned a Kylie Minogue T-shirt in November 2000 for a performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm, suggesting she might be a fan.

There has been no doubting Madonna's affection for Britney over the past few months, and not only because of the steamy kiss they shared at another MTV Awards bash last year.
After all, Christina Aguilera also got a "peck", but wasn't afforded the privilege of a duet with Madonna in the same way Britney was.
The pair collaborated on last year's hit Me Against The Music, which featured on Britney's album In The Zone.
Britney has also been accused of morphing into Madonna of late, with increasingly risque film clips and a current tour - The Onyx Hotel tour - that is making headlines for its raunchy dance routines and Britney's scanty costumes.
As for Kylie, the only danger she faces of being compared to Madonna would be by giving birth.
The British media has been clambering to break the story of a mini-mini-Minogue, fathered by French screen hunk Olivier Martinez, and hinting at an expanding tummy for the Melbourne 30-something.
Kylie has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours and was reportedly spotted buying a pregnancy test at a pharmacy in Paris recently.
She has, however, said she does think about her body clock ticking.
As for Madonna, she embarks on her Reinvention tour on May 24 in LA and will play to sold out venues across the United States and Europe.
Australia is not on her itinerary, but Kylie could catch her in Paris on September 1, 2 or 4. | |
