Gotta admit this tune has grown on me, especially since she performed it live on Letterman last week (sporting the requisite TDF cheerleader outfit & backed by marching band). Makes me think when Toni Basil's 'Mickey' first got airplay. Back then, it took awhile for me to warm up to it but in the end it proved to be too infectious a tune to pass up (until constant rotation killed it's long term appeal for me). With Gwen, I was first put off by the campy and crude lyrics but given today's hip hop vernacular, it's pretty tame. The song is just coy and cute IMO just like Gwen [:p]

Is this that song that kinda sounds like "If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler On the Roof? That one sent me out of my local Borders practically at a dead run! I'm no fan of Ms Basil's music, but she definately gets the nod from me on this one!
