"I think it's special what's behind your back / so turn around and I'll pick up the slack." Finally, the song about Kylie's butt that we all knew he was capable of. Not sure this will bring so much "sexy" "back" into pop music as cause strippers to consider "Timbaland" routines. Speaking of Tim, if you became progressively creeped out by the zillion youtubes of "Promiscuous" where the Tanktop Juggernaut actively ogles Furtado's butt like that's a part of the "choreography", right down to that squinting "damn y'all: it is a moving butt" double-O-face (choréographie-de-visage), you'll want to import that Pipettes album before listening to this. They do this weird "wit" thing that's getting more revolutionary by the minute.

Cokemachine had a group discussion about "Sexyback." Q: "Timabland produced it?" A: "No, can't be, the drums are too shit." Regretfully, that's a two part answer that's 50% right. But hey, Justin does bite Pharrell with his faux-tormented, fauxetto, faux-pas whine that was really only hot for Prince. And do us a solid, don't call it a comeback when it's actually a strip club tour told between sloppy synth expulsions: "(little fart) come here girl (big fart) come to the back (little fart) V.I.P. (big fart) drinks on me." Later, deep in the dark crevices of the cut, as the pace quickens into jiggling cellulite inertia, we get a glimpse of its true identity: "Batdance."

Not even half as awesome as it sounds.
