Toxic

I remember where I was when I first heard 'Toxic' by Britney Spears.
Driving a truck on an early Saturday spring morning in 2004 with the top 40 station on the radio.
The song grabbed my attention immediately.
Great production evoking classic Bollywood and spagetti western soundtracks, as well as good chords and a catchy melody, I couldn't believe it was coming from a manufactured, Disney-spawned, flaky, piece-of-ass-plastic like Britney.
And so I kept my interest in the song to myself. Then, covers started to pop up and it seemed I wasn't the only one who noticed.
She even won her,(only), Grammy for it,(her and the actual composers of the song of course).
Eventually I wrote it out and have played it a few times with mostly positive results.
I like to do it as sort of a badass tango but here is a cool version done in sort of an uptempo car-chase-music style by the Yaron Herman Trio


The MP3 for that version is included with the .MUS file here

Don't stop there though, cool cover versions of Toxic abound, spend some time on Youtube or wherever and check 'em out then come up with your own version.
Forget the Britney association, it's a cool tune that deserves to be played, stick it in the setlist and put Autumn Leaves in the mothballs where it belongs.
