    The reason often compared to Carmen Miranda is due to the 'joke' of the song, which is based on Hollywood's 'Spicy Latina' concept—a stereotype that Carmen Miranda symbolized. This misinterpretation portrays 'exotic' women as sexy, promiscuous, hot-tempered, and speaking with exaggerated accents for comedic effect. Another example of this stereotype is the Mexican actor Lupe Vélez. This portrayal originated in vaudeville during the 1880s.

    When it comes to what she says, it's filled with double entendres—another facet of this stereotype. The listener believes they hear one thing, but it actually means something else, often due to a mispronunciation.
    Compos Mentis - Campoz Mendez
    Meshuga - My sugar (The use of Yiddish words in Cabaret/Musicals at the time was pretty common too.)
    I always thought she said Pajaro Loco -Like Woody Woodpecker tbh.

    Or maybe since the tour is done, the record label is hard back at work, cultivating her back catalog.   I suspect we're going to see more things happening regarding her back catalog before the year's end.

    It's very clear the focus was the tour and when the tour plans changed that would have impacted other projects. Considering we nearly lost her, a year ago, we have had an incredible 12 months overall.
    It's also important to remember that M and her team can and have worked on multiple things at once

    Most fans focus on the reissues cause it's the shiny promising thing on THAT press release that we all want but this deal goes deeper (and more boring really) than that.
    Her coming back to Warner in 2021 was actually her not taking her classic monster albums anywhere else.
    It was coming back... but it was also not leaving, really.
    The original Warner copyright time for each album expires 35 years after they were released. That means in 2021 she could have already claimed back "Madonna", "Like A Virgin" and "True Blue" ("Like A Prayer" in 2024, "Erotica" in 2027, etc.), to own them 100% herself and exploit them on her own or maybe take them anywhere else to another record company or publisher. I'm sure Sony Legacy, who already owns all Michael Jackson back catalogue and most of Prince second phase internationally and most the biggest ones in the US, would have been very happy to welcome her with a good deal ($$$).
    So she negotiated a deal with Warner (for a good sum I'm sure) to actually stay with them with those albums (and the rest) and start exploiting properly her back catalogue, which has been done with "FEL", the digital singles, the RSD exclusives or the big check syncs like "Like A Prayer" on "Deadpool 3". The multi-year deal means that's the plan, to keep doing it.
    The reissues, we all want them badly, but they were always one of the things they could do within the deal, not the only one or the reason why they signed.
    I'm sure they will start to happen at some point, though.

    Well, the deal said it was a "multi-year" deal.  That can mean anything, but it sure didn't just mean three years since they did specify the Interscope albums were going to swallowed up by Warner starting in 2025.  It made sense when they announce the deal in 2021 since MX Tour streaming/digital was distributed by Warner.  They knew fans would wonder why Warner was distributing that, and simply laid out deal then. I don't think that meant for everything to happen all at once.  Still, we've gotten a number of releases since, including MX Tour, FEL, Erotica picture disc reissue, Everybody 40th re-issues, American Life Mix Show, Frozen Remixes, Hung Up On Tokischa, Material Gworrrl, and many digital/streaming releases of older songs.  I believe the True Blue Silver Vinyl is part of this deal too.  I'm sure the LAP inclusion to the new Wolverine trailer is part of this deal too.  I know @Prayerand @GregVsMattis a bit more schooled on this to verify what I've listed if not more that I've missed regarding the 2021 Warner deal.

    Your timeline is a bit off - Madonna commenced Girlie Show rehearsals with long red hair as seen here on June 18, 1993 - Rain was filmed in May 1993 with a black wig - she's on set without the wig in the second pic
    It was when she attempted to go back to blonde during rehearsals circa July 1993 that her hair broke off and she had to do the cropped haircut
