As it turns out, Britney Spears also likes it rough. In this new version of Rihanna's hit "S&M," Britney drops an all-new verse in which she sings, "Tough, I don’t scream mercy / It’s your turn to hurt me” and “If I’m bad, tie me down / Shut me up, gag and bound me.”

Britney and Rihanna trade off lines in the second half of the song, but the music is otherwise identical to the version from Rihanna's album LOUD. It's a thrill to hear these two pop icons together on a track – it's kinda like when superheroes team up.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
