15. Missy Elliott feat. Ludacris & Trina - One Minute Man (2001)

In the sixties, the most famous song that dealt with sex from a female perspective revolved around the question: "will you still love me tomorrow?" That was the dominant perception: boys want sex, girls want love. The boy tries to get the girl in the sack, the girl gives it up if she is convinced that the boy loves her, but during the act she's gripped with anxiety that it would turn out he fooled her, and his love for her will evaporate once his lust is fulfilled. That was the perception that ruled until the end of the millennium.

The new millennium introduces a new female attitude. This record says: never mind about your love lasting, let's see how you last in sex, and I will decide what to do with you tomorrow. This is a true revolution in the relationship between the genders, and we are in a new era.

Alright, Missy. As long a you keep my ass moving like that, you will get exactly what you want.
