"Work It" is a single by rapper Nelly which features pop singer Justin Timberlake, released in 2003, from Nelly's 2002 album Nellyville. It reached number 7 in the UK Singles Chart, but only 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was later used in a Scott Storch remix and included on Nelly's 2003 remix album Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention. Another remix by Jason Nevins sampled AC/DC's 1980 song "Back in Black", and received considerable airplay, but was not released. The video for the song was a video of Justin and Nelly visiting the Playboy Mansion where they played tennis and met many of the Playboy Playmates. The video is almost similar to the video of the song "Playmate of The Year", released by Zebrahead, where they also visit the Playboy Mansion, and Hugh Hefner also makes an appearance.
