Madonna = Mary, the mother of Jesus
Bernadette = St Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes
Two fairly unusual first names (in America) that are about as ultra-Catholic as you can get.

When I was a kid at school (Roman Catholic school) most of the girls in my class chose "Bernadette" as their saintly Confirmation name. It was by far the most popular name. I've always wondered what Bernadette chose for hers? 
as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....

Or maybe what also needs to be explained is that the song Sooner or Later was originally sung in the movie Dick Tracy by Madonna. Maybe that was the clue Becca was missing.

The muse is dressed like Oz, sounds like Queens and behaves like a bored student adviser." Alice Film Review, The New York Times, December 25, 1990

It's not a dumb question the first time I heard Bernadette say that for a long time I wondered who she was talking about.

 Thinking about the religious name comment reminds me of "Bernadette The Musical" which ran for a mere four weeks at The Dominion Theatre here in London in 1990.
Sadly, it wasn't a musical based on the life of the Queen of Broadway ...
"Bernadette the Musical. The life of the saint opened and closed within a month in 1990. Ticket sales improved slightly when kitsch-loving audiences started turning up to laugh."
as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....
