No it's just a great song.
It's Britney Bitch! The Britney Spears Rate - WINNER!!!

Correct. It feels very Britney. Plus it is kind of a modern version of bubblegum pop. It captures the DNA of that time just like Do You Wanna Come Over? does, with both songs taking it into current soundscapes. Do You? is the better song but Ooh is a beast too. At least that's my opinion.
I used to find Perfect Lover incredibly weak, a glaring dip in quality on Blackout, but have really grown to love it. It should have still be the second track from the album out (after Sad), but it is excellent.
Ooh Ooh Baby is great, but definitely benefited from being a Blackout album track. If it was on Circus it would have been out ages ago.

Freakshow and Hot As Ice being out before Ooh Ooh Baby is criminal.

I tend to dislike "oohs oohs" in songs but this is SO good. Glad it could get to the top 50
Back to singles now...
I have more than one name connection with this...

Do Somethin' is a single and one of 3 new songs included on Britney's first greatest hits album, Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The track was written and produced by Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg (Bloodshy & Avant) with additional writing by Henrik Jonback and Angela Hunte. The single was not physically released in the US but still made the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 100th place thanks to digital downloads. The song did well worldwide, reaching the top 10 in a number of countries including Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Hungary, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Although not originally intended to be a single, it was released as one after Britney pushed to record a music video for the track. The video, which was co-directed by Britney and Billie Woodruff, was choreographed and styled entirely by Britney and recorded in just 5 hours. The original video was subject to a lawsuit in 2007 from Louis Vuitton due to a close up of their logo on the dashboard of truck in the video. Louis Vuitton won the lawsuit and were awarded 80,000 euros. The video was subsequently banned in all European countries, before an edited version was re-released in 2015.
My thoughts: It's sort of fun I guess? I've always had very middling feelings towards it but I can bop if I'm in the right mood when it comes on. It definitely feels more 3rd single B-side/10th track on an album, as opposed to a single from a greatest hits album.
@clowezra (10) Embarrassingly I didn't get this at all when it came out, and it's bizarrely only really clicked in the last year? Gagged.I have more than one name connection with this...

@boombazookajoe (6.5) MichelleVisage-Meh.gif This.
@blaze_dave (10) Nothing better than Britney channeling Gwen Stefani, this song is just so much fun. Love the sassy vocals and the music video works so well with it.
@Kaz D'Oerba (9.5) This song is poppers o’clock and I love it.
@unnameable (8) Brit, it’s the 21st century, the woman is allowed to make the first move.
@livefrommelbs (10) Fun fact: This one goes down really well with the straights. Must be why I'm not fussed about it.
@daninternational (7.5) One of the better examples of her weaker singles
@M24 (6) I always forget how much it bops. That chorus is pretty strong.
@Attis (1) Get The Party Started redux Really? I don't hear that at all.
@Guyhawke! (9.5) Bloodshy & Avant bring the goods again for this buzzing electropop number that ironically serves more attitude than ‘My Prerogative’. The wheels started to fall off the Britney machine when this video came out; the outfits and that nauseating Windows Media Player rotating colour filter was a step down from the hyper-styled visuals of past singles. Luckily the song is a bop and I appreciate that Britney stans it despite only being a hit in Europe and Australia.

I love how pissed off she sounds in Do Somethin' and My Prerogative.
In hopes of inspiring some conversation I can tell you that the song following Do Somethin's exit is also a second single... Place your bets now!
I would like Slumber Party to go, but it could be Sometimes (even though I love it). I will accept Circus.
Do Somethin' is fabulous. Britney's vocals are fierce. It's such bonkers fun and I'm feeling it (Britney knows).
It's gotta be Slumber Party, right? All the other 2nd singles still in contention are leagues better - and I say that as someone who really likes Slumber Party.

I’m terrified for Sometimes!
I'm terrified of what I'll do to the low scorers if it is Sometimes.
All I can say is that they better run and hide.

Muse did well to get to #43 in a Britney rate
