Subject: Britney - Writers Genius? FCC Stupid?
Written By: Tam on 04/06/09 at 1:24 pm
As most of you know, I am not a huge fan of the whole Britney, Christina, Jessica etc. pop generation.
If a song comes on by them, I either change the channel, or skip to the next one.
However, Big Nasty figured something out and pointed it out to me the other day... It floored me!
Britney's newest chart topper - If You Seek Amy
Her writers are showing some sheer genius, I tell ya.
Listen to the song. Doesn't make much sense, looking for this chick named Amy....
Or is it?
Here is the chorus:
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me
But can’t you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy
Love me, hate me
Haven't figured it out yet?
Let me help you....
If You Seek Amy
Still haven't gotten it yet? Sound out the sentence into letters.....
If You Seek Amy
F U C K Me
GET IT NOW??!!??!!
So, this goes to show that The FCC really doesn't listen to a song, they only listen for words. ::)
Like I said - Britney's writers definitely have some sort of genius going on! ;)

This is why it was changed to "If U See Amy" on the radio, though that only makes it slightly harder for someone to figure out the meaning. There's also a line later in the song "if u seek amy tonight, we'll do whatever you like". ;D I didn't figure this out till I googled the song and saw articles about "controversy" and now it's painfully obviously, even the video rubs it in for crying out loud lol.

Hmmm... I guess because we listen to Sirius we get the unedited version. And of course, because I never pay attention to her or any of the other pop queens, I never knew. It's funny though that little girls are running around singing this song without knowing the meaning. Bizarre really.

That's hilarious Tia!
Seriously, I guess I hadn't ever thought about it because I really don't listen to her music at all anymore.
I suppose that I am also not so much at the hands of the FCC for subscribing to Sirius. ;)
Tweens probably think it's about Amy Winehouse ::) :D
Post as yourself please..... *yawn*

No different than April Wine's 1982 favourite 'If You See Kay'. Or what about the current chart hit 'Jizz in My Pants' by The Lonely Island? It's actually rising up the chart along with Britney's 'If You Seek Amy' :o
I think back to the 80s with 'Sex (I'm A ...)' by Berlin or the great 'Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)' by Paul Lekakis. Don't remember if those were ever banned, but I can tell you they got massive radio play up here. Sex sells, and controversial songs sell even better. If the public can't have it, they want it even more

I heard the song on my way to work this morning. Bleh. I don't like how digitized her voice sounds these days. What's that about?

Everyone is doing it since T. Pain - even Kanye West tried it on his last album. Problem is, in concert he sounds horrible 8-P

Britney needs to realize she neither cute or talented anymore. Drugs and being a spoiled brat will do that to ya. Let's she what other fair weather "Disney talent" follows her into the tacky and talentless abyss.
