> 9. Britney Spears - Toxic
> 16. Morrissey - First of the Gang to Die

Good to see. I was a bit worried that this Britney classic was going to be overlooked. I mean really, there is only one that can sing such clever lines!

With a taste of your lips - I’m on a ride - You’re toxic
I’m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise - I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic - And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic !
