| Description |
- Tiara worn by Madonna in the 1999 American Pie music video
- "American Pie" is a cover of the classic rock song originally released by singer-songwriter Don McLean and covered by Madonna
- In the year 2000, Madonna released her cover of the song as a single for the soundtrack to the film The Next Best Thing
- Madonna's cover however is noted for being much shorter in length (it contains only the beginning of the first verse and all of the second and sixth verses) and for being recorded as a pop-dance song
- The music video for "American Pie" was directed by Philipp Stolzl and was shot on January 10, 2000 at a Twickenham studio in London, England
- The video itself pays a tribute to the seventies (the decade the song was recorded)
- The video features Madonna dancing in front of a large American flag
- Other shots include ordinary people, playing children, a lonely woman in a store, interracial families standing together for a family portrait, lesbians embracing, a gay male couple kissing, and what appear as marines flexing
- All these shots are shown in between shots of Madonna
- Rupert Everett makes a cameo appearance in the video, with Madonna sitting on his lap, however there are no scenes from the movie
