4 Minutes by Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland is featured in The Power of Madonna, the fifteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Kurt and Mercedes with the Cheerios after Sue adds vocals to her "already over the top" cheerleading routines.
This is the solo Kurt and Mercedes were looking for because they weren't getting enough in Glee Club. The song is performed in the gymnasium and includes an elaborate dance routine by the Cheerios and Kurt and Mercedes as the lead soloists. This makes Will surprised.

Come on, girl
I've been waiting for somebody to pick up my stroll
Uh!

Well, don't waste time
Give me the sign
Tell me how you wanna roll
Kurt:
I want somebody to speed it up for me
Then take it down slow
There's enough room for both
Mercedes:
Well, I can handle that
You just gotta show me where it's at
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?

Trivia[]
- The singing in this version is gender-inverted: Kurt sings Madonna's lines and Mercedes sings Justin Timberlake's lines.
- Therefore the line "Come on, boy," becomes "Come on, girl."
- The Glee version is based on the 3:07 radio edit, instead of the 4:04 album version.
