Which of Madonna's music video featured a giant flag of the United States?

Madonna’s “American Pie” music video featured a giant flag of the United States. The image appears as Madonna sings and dances in front of a large American flag, making the video’s patriotic visual one of its most recognizable details.

Released in 2000, the video was directed by Philipp Stölzl and supported Madonna’s cover of Don McLean’s 1971 song. It combines performance footage with scenes portraying a broad cross-section of American life. Rupert Everett, who contributed backing vocals to Madonna’s recording, also appears in the video.

There are multiple versions of the clip. The main worldwide version includes a range of social and cultural imagery, including a same-sex kiss. A later version built around the Humpty Remix used different footage and was promoted in the United States alongside The Next Best Thing, omitting that kiss.

The distractors are understandable because Madonna’s videography often uses national, political or cultural imagery. “American Life” is especially easy to confuse with the answer because of its title and controversial themes, while “Die Another Day” and “Celebration” have very different visual concepts. The flag clue points to “American Pie.”
