It's Britney Bitch
I see you,
And i just wanna dance with you

Britney appears to be talking to a female dog, one presumes tied up to a lamppost outside a shop or perhaps dropped on the street (this is Britneys world after all) – not just any dog though. A dog with dancing shoes on, 6 weeks of salsa lessons and a nice outfit on – a dog that deserves to be danced with. A real pedigree being; the sort who if human Britney probably wouldn’t earn the right to dance with, but whom in this crazy society Britney can dance with. That woman.

Everytime they turn the lights down Just wanna go that extra mile for you You got my display of affection Feels like no one else in the room (the room)

Britney appears to be in a gym (good to see that she’s seen sense and finally decided to employ a personal trainer, or at the very least sign up for a gym membership; with her pay even she can surely afford the very competitive rates going these days) running those miles on the treadmill, but disaster! The lights have turned off! This as such has the effect of making it feel like there’s no one else in the room (presumably she’s listening to some music or to one of the channels that they are showing on the TV’s in the gym; generally the finest that Freeview has to offer), which clearly is something of a misgiving.



We can get down like there's no one around
We keep on rocking, we keep on rockin'
Cameras are flashing while we're dirty dancing
They keep watching, keep watchin'
Feels like the the crowd was saying

Britney would very much like to go rock climbing somewhere serene and peaceful, where there’s not really going to be anyone else about. She wants to take pictures of the surrounding picturesque scenery whilst also partaking in the act of dirty dancing with this unfortunate fellow, who by now must be wondering quite what he’s let himself in for; dirty dancing in a area of natural beauty? Surely something doesn’t quite add up (not that I’m saying Tiger Tiger isn’t an area of outstanding natural beauty, or anything like that).

Gimme Gimme more Gimme more Gimme gimme more [x4]

Well. There isn’t exactly much to this; Britney wants you to give her more. The only ambiguity is what she actually wants. This could be:

Center of attention, even when you're up against the wall You got me in a crazy position (uh huh) If you're on a mission (ooh) You got my permission oh


Britney claims that the subject is the centre of attention (and when your girlfriend is a rock-climbing dirty-dancing dog-tangoing enthusiast, this is only going to be natural) and that he – yes, the subject – has gotten Britney into this crazy position. Which, judging by my analysis of this song so far is far from the case; at no point has she at all implied that he had any say in the doings that they did. Britney then adds international espionage to her list of claims; if this chap has a mission involving the evil east, then he is to report to her at once.

And who said the Cold War was over?

I just can't control myself, more They want more? Well I'll give them more (ow!)

Britney finally owns up to the brutal truth that all through her somewhat pathetic existence in the last few years and song titles that really don’t do her any favours when it comes to social services (hit me baby one more time (ouch), oops I did it again (ouch), toxic (that’s just mean), I’m a slave 4 u (there must be something about irresponsible motherhood in there somewhere) and so on and so forth); she’s just out of control. But she sends out a rallying final cry to her critics – if we want more, then she is blooming well going to give us more.

Good times.
