This song was the third single released from Christina Aguilera's album Back to Basics, and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocalist performance. The song harks back to the Andrews Sisters in texture and feel, though both the sexualised lyrics and the vocal licks give it a more modern feel. The arrangement was commissioned by Eu4ia for the Barbershop in Harmony show at the London Palladium in September 2009, and comes with both the original lyrics and G-rated alternatives.
