Background

The song is a sage comparative study of the shaggability of pop goddesses Christina Aguilera, Pink, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue are all considered and found wanting in preference for Madonna. Tim Henwood told The Age: "'Do It with Madonna' took me 20 minutes to write. I spent from midnight to 5am demoing it one morning, and now Madonna has actually heard it, it never occurred to me that would happen. It was funny, though, because at the time I remember being careful what I was saying just in case any of them did hear it - 'Don't insult anyone. How would you like it if you were Pink?'" Madonna requested a copy for review and "loves it"."[1]
