The headline on EW's music blog yesterday: Britney Spears' Womanizer: The new Creep? Seems a crapload of people from Lilly Allen to Franz Ferdinand are covering Brit's sh!t hit, just like scads of artists did with Radiohead's song.
There, however, the similarities between the two end. Abruptly.
Creep is a brilliantly crafted, heartbreaking, masterpiece of a song, Womanizer is audio junk food--delicious, yes, but as high quality as a Chicken McNugget. People are covering Womanizer ironically, like they would Macarthur Park or Hangin' Tough. While we're still remembering, playing, and enduring painful karaoke renditions of Creep more than a dozen years after its initial release, Womanizer will be forgotten as soon as the next piece of pop poop comes along.
