Gimme Lore
- A folkloresque retelling of the history of the Princess of Pop Britney SpearÕs Gimme More

Once upon a time in Las Vegas, there was a princess, not yet queen, called Britney. Princess Britney was lucky, for she was much beloved by the folk and commanded all their attention. Especially for her beautiful singing voice, musical talent and sexy moves known to all in the Kingdom of Pop, and beyond.Ê
More so, she was in love herself. With a prince she had married and with whom she  had had, soon after, or before, given birth to a perfectly healthy boy. 
Oh, she was a happy one, and born to make everyone happy. 

But, however much beloved, as was the custom with any heir to the kingdom, the princessÕs life and action had always been subject to the watchful eye of the folk. After all, the title of a true pop royalty had to be earned and be bestowed by the folk, through vigorous democratic census. As such, a pop princess had to perform as the perfect and proper ICON at all times. So, to make sure the princess didnÕt fall short of her title, a dedicated league of chaperones was appointed, to follow and surveil her at all times of the day, and night, and report to the folk, any public display of misbehaviour.

Oh to live under such scrutiny, only a true rightful princess could bear it! For Britney however, the incessant patronage by the folk, with their chaperones always around, drove her up against the wall of torment. Especially, since she had become a mother. And as everyone knows, a mother HAS to be judged even more so! And as it happened, the princess had just fallen pregnant, one more time.Ê

To quench all doubt and judgement by the folk, therefore, Princess Britney resolved to prove herself worthy of her position, once and for all! Henceforth, she set out on a mission to compose the most beautiful, most delicate and most splendid of songs the world had ever heard. One song to prove them all. One song will find them. One song to give them all, and when the lights are down to blind them; In the Kingdom of Pop where they always want more.

And so she did happily ever after till the world end. And the rest is history.Ê
