42. "oops (oh my)," tweet
timbaland can still surprise you. so can missy. the proof is in "oops," the first single from missy's latest protege. it's a song about masturbation (see fred's treatise on why "female masturbation songs [are] so damn sexy"), but it doesn't really sound like it's about it - i.e., tweet's no christina amphlett. it just sounds sexy, but not as much about sex, kind of like those victoria's secret television commercials which somehow pull off the feat of actually being sexy whilst asking "what is sexy?" and the tim-and-missy production is utterly ridiculous. [also worth noting: tweet can surprise you, as well. a couple of songs on her album southern hummingbird are actually based around acoustic guitar, with no typically r-and-b production. she out-india.aries india.arie, meaning she's better.]
