How about a little one-and-one: One great old song, one great new song.

On the old school tip comes a one-hit wonder whose 1990 hit, I think, was one of the best pop songs of the decade. Musically, it is perfect and extremely soulful. In fact, the turnaround at 3:03 of this video makes me go atwitter.

Whatever that means. It's Jane Child's "Don't Want TO Fall In Love:"

On the new side of the musical universe comes a predictable machine of an artist, Madonna. By this time, 25 years after she first hit the big time, she should have worn out, or perhaps we should have grown completely tired of her.

However, Madonna's pop music is as relevant as pretty much anybody's in the industry. Her latest single, "4 Minutes To Save The World," is pretty much bad ass. Not sure if it's Timbaland's beat mastery or the urgency of the chorus with the Rocky Balboa horns on top, but this track demands you turn it up in the car, you hit the floor at the club, etc.
