ventaIt's Friday! It's three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
Friday afternoons need a little something. I think they need a Top Tune. Something to make you shuffle in your seat and, if possible, Boogie At Your Desk. I'll be endeavouring to fill this gap on Fridays this year.
I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. It will, however, be a tune which makes me smile, and which has at some stage made me surreptitiously Boogie At My Desk.
Desks are not compulsory, of course. Feel free to boogie through your office, in your bedroom, round your lab, across your classroom, on the train - wherever you find yourself on a Friday afternoon.
If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.
This link will expire at some point in the future.
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Britney Spears - Toxic
Yup, a Britney Spears CD was the one I declined to name when listing my purchases at the record fair the other day.
This is my latest attempt to please all the people some of the time - in this case, I'm aiming to please the lowest common denominator. LCD, you know who you are :)
I must admit, I don't keep a terribly close ear on the charts and I missed Toxic when it was at number one. It is, however, a regular floor-filler at Crimes Against Pop.
Having listened to the promo best-of CD acquired from the record fair, I have to admit that I'm not about to become a massive Britney fan. There's some good pop moments on there - even Oops!... I Did It Again is, if you put aside the "aaargh it's Britney" reaction, a quality pop tune. Although it does bear out Nick Cave's theory that the lightest, fluffiest pop tunes can have the most sinister words - the sentiment behind the lyrics, with their insincere pout of apology, is very unpleasant.
However, there's also quite a lot of non-descript pop filler-dirge on the CD too. I'd recommend finding any cheap best-of style CD which has Toxic on it - it's worth it, and you might find a few other good tracks on it, too.
The best thing about Toxic is, of course, that bit. Small edible prizes may be distributed to anyone who can correctly identify which bit I mean by that bit. The best way of specifying your answer is probably elapsed time rather than trying to describe it.
