...whip past her crotch, dancers gyrating in auto-massage), but it soon gives way to simpler, sunnier images. For Rain, Madonna dons demure black; the look says, ''Listen to the sad ballad, the sweet harmonies.'' For Express Yourself, she's dolled up in royal blue bell-bottoms and a frizz wig, to pay homage to the gaudy innocence of the Cyndi Lauper era. The Wayback Machine keeps spinning until we are in Weimar * Berlin, with Madonna in Dietrich drag warbling Teutonic twaddle: ''Like a wer- gin, touched for the werry vurst time.''
