The video doesn't seem to be anything like "Take A Bow" ... maybe he changed his mind? Doesn't this song have a bdsm subtext ("whip me if i misbehave" etc)?

[edit] Pop Culture Significance

Someone should mention the effect this song has had on pop culture recently, as celebrities are constantly using or parodying the word "sexyback" while publicly speaking. Also the term itself "sexyback" should be elaborated on, both in terms of the writers and Justin's viewpoint and the public's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.157.217.8 (talk) 04:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parodies

Are parodies of songs no longer worth mentioning? Weird Al is going to be disappointed.

[edit] Video

Perhaps the section on the video should state who the girl in the video is?

[edit] C'mon guys

"Probably the most annoying song since 'Hollaback Girl' this tune is guaranteed to annoy the life out of any music lover, with its childish repetetive lyrics, a very sad attempt to be entertaining."

That's not Wiki material, so I deleted it. I myself do not like Timberlake either, but that shit is opinion, and POV. And honestly, I find "My Humps" to be even more annoying than "Hollaback."

Loved My Humps, loved Sexy Back even more and you pple can bun in hell. -G

Hated My Humps despised Hollaback Girl but loved Sexy Back. But that's neither here nor there.

Why does it say at the Bottom of this page that Beyonce is No.1 on the Hot 100, and Justin is No.2 this week? H's still No.1 and Beyonce's only No.11.

What does the fact that Timbaland etc. are gay have anything to do with the song? If it's relevant, additional context would be nice.

sexy is definitely back.

[edit] Removal of image

I removed the screenshot from the video because it was of no real illustrative value to the article. The image lacks sufficient context to inform the reader of anything of significance, does not appear to be momentous in any way, and is not specifically discussed in the test.

[edit] Timbaland....

Once again this is disputed, but he IS a featured artist. The billboards had him credited as featured, and so does the album. Why is it that he's not featured here? Even "Now! That's What I Call Music" credits him as featured. Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 19:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

If by "the billboards" you mean Billboard magazine, then that is incorrect - it charted as a solo Timberlake song. - eo (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nelly Furtado cover

I don't think that Nelly Furtado ever covered "SexyBack" on her tour. Maybe it's meant that another artist (Jasmine) covered it in the break: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F5qN4-fwshE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.155.221.40 (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

There is no reason why there needs to be a separate article for Poison's cover of this song. The information needs to be merged into this article. -Xnux the Echidna 23:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
