It's worth noting that "Hold It Against Me" director Jonas Åkerlund also made the music video for Lady Gaga's "Telephone," which also featured a great deal of conspicuous product placement including a nod to Plenty of Fish.

In other Britney news, producer Dr. Luke has put a few brief teasers of his tracks from Spears' new album Femme Fatale on his SoundCloud page.  The clips go by a bit too quickly to get a solid impression of the songs, but it sounds like we're in for some intense dance pop.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
