#3. Umbrella
by Rihanna
Sometimes an
umbrella is just an umbrella. A few seconds into Rihanna's Umbrella you
realize that this is probably not one of those times. It's not that
Umbrella is explicit; its lyrics ("Now that it's raining more than ever/
Know that we'll still have each other/ You can stand under my umbrella")
owe more to Doris Day than Madonna. But Rihanna, a Barbadian ex-beauty
queen, has a special talent for vocal innuendo. She toys with the word
umbrella — or, as Rihanna would put it, um-ba-rella, ella, ella — as if
she's taking it for a ride on a water bed. The sexiest song of 2007.
