This time on one song, we're talking about a pop classic that draws its influences from far and wide.

That's right. It's a three minute and 18 second global pop pastiche masterpiece.

It's an India via California surf rock spy pop song written by three Swedes and one Brit for an American Brit.

An American Brit, I love it.

It's Toxic by Britney Spears.

Let's get into it.

I'm writer, actor, director, and sometimes DJ D.Lerero.

And I am producer, DJ, and songwriter Luxury, also known as the guy who talks about interpolation.

Luxury, I've always said, a guy like you should wear a warning.

You're dangerous.

I understand. And we're falling in love with your TikToks. Listen, let me be very, very clear today. Because I'm so excited to talk about

toxic. I'm so excited. Because I know that, I know from your TikTok that this is a song that

you've thought so much about. It's really funny. I think it might be unexpected to some people. We do the New Order and the Smiths and whatever.

We're so cool.

You know, like, I don't want to break the idea that, like, what we talk about on this show

is cool songs only.

But if we do, like, remember that toxic.

Today was the day if you didn't already know.

Brittany Spears has entered the pantheon.

Yes, she has. No, Britney Spears has entered the pantheon of cool high art pop music.

This was the song that for me crossed the line, crossed over into like, this is sublime.

This isn't just a throwaway piece of pop fluff.
