Madonna, 'Superstar': 'MDNA' Track Hits YouTube, Name-Checks Honest Abe

In two weeks, Madonna drops her long-awaited 12th studio album, 'MDNA,' and thanks to a YouTube post by manager Guy Oseary, we now know a little more about what it sounds like. How much more? One minute -- that's all we get of 'Superstar,' a tune that, according to Perez Hilton, features background vocals from the pop star's daughter, Lourdes.

An up-tempo dance track, 'Superstar' finds Madge making reference to several historical figures, comparing the object of her affections to Al Capone, Julius Caesar and -- in a rather baffling line -- our nation's 16th president.

"You're Abe Lincoln, 'cuz your papa was right," she sings. "You're my angel, bringing peace to my life."

Then comes the chorus: "Ooh-la-la, you're my superstar / Ooh-la-la, that's what you are."

Later, the 53-year-old mother of three offers a come-on that reveals just how much has changed -- both in terms of technology and what passes for seduction in her household -- since the '80s and '90s: "You can have the password to my phone/ I'll give you a massage when you get home." Actually, it's kind of sweet, but in light of recent phone hackings, she might want to hang onto that password.

'MDNA' drops March 26.
