I’ve always loved Madonna, beginning in the steaming summer of ’82, when “Everybody” was ringing out over WKTU. But that was what—a quarter century ago? The original version of “Give It to Me” is typical third-millennium Madonna, serviceable robopop (produced by the Neptunes, though that hardly matters). It’s bouncy and catchy enough for its intended function: filling up three minutes of time without causing too much pain. But this…thing, this sodden sound of paychecks being cashed, signals the end of the affair. Granted, it’s probably not Madonna’s fault—these lazy, lumpish, by-the-number house remixes from Fedde Le Grand and Paul Oakenfold, among other big-timers, were likely selected by a team of monkeys. And those monkeys have very poor taste.

Actually the original dub track of "Give It To Me" is either a illegal looped sample
of The Skatellites "Ringo's Tears" or a knock off. F.Y.I. a band member of the Skatellites has cancer.
The Neptunes are a joke- the record " Hard Candy" is one big stroke of The Madgiesties clit and pocket book.
Did you know "Vogue" is a knock off also? Its a knock down of a Malcolm McLaren (former Sex Pistols manager/designer) the single released a few years prior is titled "Deep In Vogue"?
