britney ft madonna - me against the music

all britney's best moments are evil. an evil chord change or enunciation or phrase (i ain't going through these moments like we didn't all hear them a million times but even "don't let me be the last to know" had evil drums), it's all about scrunch-faced creeping and haunted microhouse of horrors arrangements. after a relatively evil-free couple of years, "me against the music" is promising cuz i can list several more than one evil thing:

- the fake strings (proper max martin minor key evil!)

- the bassline (although it is more a wide-eyed original sin evil)

- the track-cutting in the second verse (straight mixing board switch flipping like old dub records cutting is evil and gangsta!)

- britney's entire vocal (ahhhh!)

this is all good stuff, which makes it even more of a shame that madonna's bit is like the stupidest thing ever, jesus christ! "come over here i've got something to show you" yeah dude, well let me show you the motherfucking door! it's only a few bars but her appearance brings bad vibes and extra-musical lameness that's tiring more than anything. stop this foolishness!
