Not only is Madonna’s new single reminiscent of the theme to The Price Is Right, its chorus is also pretty much a carbon copy of the sung hook for Flo Rida’s “Elevator.” And both songs feature Timbaland, who clearly is getting all of his ideas from hanging out in clubs that are playing nothing but his songs. I just sang the chorus to Madge’s song while the video was playing in the background, and it was a perfect match. I encourage you to do the same.

If we’re gonna point out how often overpaid hip hop producers rubber stamp their own past hits (especially Timbaland lately) we’re gonna be here a while.
Don’t know Flo Rida song, and Madonna is pointless.
Epic win!
On that one song Timbaland did with M.I.A. on Kala, he raps “Timbaland’s not dead” and I remember thinking, dude, at least wait til your shit starts all sounding the same before fretting that people are forgetting about you. And then “The Way I Are” came out, and then this…
Timbaland, please get dead now so you might have a chance to make a comeback in 5 years. Cause I know I’m seriously missing Dr. Dre right about now.
@Al Shipley: Oh, I know. I’m just impressed by the brazenness of the back-to-back releases.
