(Newser) – Madonna revived a rare classic last night—and it wasn't a song. During a performance in Paris to promote new album Hard Candy, the Material Girl, 49, grabbed a female backup dancer for an on-stage lip-lock, reprising a headline-grabbing steamy stunt with Britney Spears during a 2003 MTV awards show, the Daily Mail reports.

Always in control, the mother of three clutched the back of the awed girl's neck in one hand and a bottle of champagne in the other. "Why do I have this relationship with France?" Madonna asked the crowd. "I'm always drawn to working with French people—and frenching French people. Vive la France!"
