toxic rhythm 2007

mixed by john marr / dmc

"Toxic" is a dance-pop song written by Bloodshy & Avant, Cathy Dennis, and Henrik Jonback for Britney Spears' fourth studio album In the Zone (2003). The song describes having an affair with a married man.[1] It was released as the album's second single in early 2004 (see 2004 in music). "Toxic" enjoyed international success, topping many singles charts. The song was chosen as the second favorite song of the world (all time) in a global survey made by Sony Ericsson, in which 700,000 music fans of 66 countries contributed, behind "We Are the Champions" by Queen.[2]

It has been covered by The BossHoss, Local H, the Chapin Sisters, Juliet Turner, Nickel Creek, Hurra Torpedo and Mark Ronson. Marillion played it during their Marillion Weekend in February 2007 in the Netherlands, and their performance was released (in audio only) on the DVD version of the single "Thankyou Whoever You Are / Most Toys" in June 2007. Monsters From Mars has released an instrumental surf version.

There is also a mix by DJ Sat One going around featuring a rap by Bahamadia (who some confuse with P. Magnet) which is considered by some to be official; however, it's not a commissioned release.

There are a further 2 remixes, the first nicknamed "toxic riddims" released in the UK on the club circuit and is still doing the rounds, which involves rap style lyrics. This is an unofficial remix and as such can only be found on p2p networks although due to its success in the clubs it is surprising it has not been actually released. The official title for this remix is Cutback vs Britney Spears - Toxic Rhythm. The second was released on MTV Mash Up and is a mix of Usher - Yeah with Britney Spears - Toxic

Mark Ronson uses a sample of Spears' "Toxic" in his own hip-hop version of the song (titled simply "Toxic"). It features Ol' Dirty Bastard, Tiggers and Nick Catchdubs and is on his album "Version"

Rapper Tony Yayo sampled Toxic for his song Like My Style from his album Thoughts of A Predicate Felon, although in the album's liner notes the sample is not credited.

Israeli singer Shiri Maimon has made her own vesion of this song in Hebrew, a video was also produced.
