"Do It with Madonna" was the Androids' first single, released in October 2002 on Festival and later folded into the Australian band's debut album, The Androids. Tim Henwood wrote it in 20 minutes and had a demo down between midnight and 5am. The gag is right there in the title: the song sizes up Christina Aguilera, Pink, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue before deciding Madonna beats the lot, and Henwood said he took care not to insult any of them.

It went to number four in Australia and went platinum there in 2003, cracked the top 50 in Ireland, New Zealand and the UK, and Bart Borghesi's video won Best Video at that year's ARIA Music Awards. Madonna herself asked for a copy, and word came back that she "loves it".
