Britney Spears' Madonna Tour Video Revealed

Details of the mysterious video Britney Spears is starring in for Madonna's upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour have emerged. While the previous Brit/Madge collaboration "Me Against the Music" was the obvious guess, Spears will instead appear on the big screen while Madonna performs her Bedtime Stories hit "Human Nature." Much like Madonna in the original video for that song, Britney will dance and contort herself within a small, confined space — except this time around, it's an elevator. Seven cameras will reportedly capture Spears in the lift "pacing back and forth. Then she progresses to kicking and smacking the walls, all frantic-like. She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall." Brit's freak-out concludes with her staring into one of the cameras and saying the trademark "It's Britney, bitch." The Sticky and Sweet tour kicks off its U.S. jaunt October 4th in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“Smells Like Teen Spirit”

Nirvana | 1991

"Smells Like Teen Spirit," named after a brand of deodorant marketed to girls, was Kurt Cobain's attempt to "write the ultimate pop song," he said, using the soft-loud dynamic of his favorite band, the Pixies. Cobain "had that dichotomy of punk rage and alienation," the song’s producer, Butch Vig, told Rolling Stone, "but also this vulnerable pop sensibility. In 'Teen Spirit,' a lot of that vulnerability is in the tone of his voice." Sadly, by the time of Nirvana's last U.S. tour, in late '93, Cobain was tortured by the obligation to play "Teen Spirit" every night. "There are many other songs that I have written that are as good, if not better," he claimed.
