Jan 26 2009Britney Spears suddenly capable of word play
Ever since Britney Spears announced her new single would be "If U Seek Amy," radio stations have panicked because of the title's double entendre that I spent way too much time I'll never get back trying to figure out. NY Daily News reports:
As for "Amy," it's hardly an accident that if you say the title fast - and enunciate it a little more clearly than Spears does - you get a crude sexual phrase.
Happily for Jive Records and Brit, the Parents Television Council (PTC) decided to hyperventilate anyway, creating a tidal wave of free promotion.
That's one reason why, in case you hadn't noticed, Jive was in no hurry to provide a "clean" edit for radio play.
As for Z100, America's defining top-40 station, the clean edit is essential. The PTC may be windbags, but since Z100's parent Clear Channel just fired 9% of its work force, it doesn't need to spend money defending itself at the FCC. Also, Clear Channel CEO John Hogan promised Congress a couple of years ago that the company would have a "zero tolerance" policy on indecency.
Before everyone pats Britney on the back for her producers having a grasp of the English language, she originally wanted to name the track "Taco Bell Wrapper on My Face" because "just think of the video, y'all. Just think of the video."
Other track titles included "Hey, Are Cactus Edible? Ouch!"; "Jayden James is like a Prince I Don't Want to Accidentally Leave at the Gas Station"; and "My Burgina is Too an Instrument!"

"if you seek amy" phonetically said is "F U C K Me"
the songs chorus says
"Love me, hate me.
Say what you want about me.
But all of the boys and all of the girls.
Are begging too, If you seek amy."
12. LawnGnome - January 26, 2009 1:19 PM
If you see gay me???
13. wtf - January 26, 2009 1:20 PM
as noted above by #2, it sounds like "eff u see kay me" (aka fuck me) when you say it really fast.
14. RichPort's Ghost - January 26, 2009 1:21 PM
If one of her ass cheeks is an entendre, I'll take a double.
15. Maria - January 26, 2009 1:22 PM
BRITNEY SHOULD GO TO HELL AND STAY THERE>>>>>>BYE BITCH!

DOES JESUS KNOW ABOUT THIS??
18. p0nk - January 26, 2009 1:24 PM
i'm sure the 12-13yo market she targets will find this devilishly clever.
19. pete - January 26, 2009 1:24 PM
At least at the moment, she's not nearly as fat as Jessica Blimpson.
20. p0nk - January 26, 2009 1:25 PM
@6 rachel, how else do you hide lipo scars and still attempt to dress scantily?
21. Lisa - January 26, 2009 1:27 PM
Oh..well duh. LOL! I can't believe I missed that one. This song won't be played at any middle school dances!!
22. Sandy - January 26, 2009 1:27 PM
I prefer the third track, "Fay Sing Yee East."
23. drewski2u - January 26, 2009 1:29 PM
"If You Sick Of Me?"
And how!
BTW, good one #14

25. todders - January 26, 2009 1:34 PM
I find it hard to believe that B-Spears would be this clever. (Or that she writes her own songs.)

26. slammy - January 26, 2009 1:37 PM
I'm glad someone explained the double entendre up there. I thought it was supposed to be "if you see gay me"
27. Nattyb - January 26, 2009 1:37 PM
She also seems to be very capable of vagina play as well.
28. Guest - January 26, 2009 1:39 PM
The lyrics are:
"all of the boys and all of the girls
are dying to if u seek amy"
It took me forEVER to figure that out
it doesn't really matter, because the
song is catchy so everybody
just shut up!!!
29. Lost - January 26, 2009 1:40 PM
Uhh...I'm still not sure what I am suppose to do if I see a gay me?
30. mike skoop - January 26, 2009 1:42 PM
Is this the best Britney can do? The shock value bar is set so high for her, this doesn't even register *YAWN*
31. LL - January 26, 2009 1:48 PM
I haven't noticed a "tidal wave of publicity," but then again, I'm not 12 or an adult with the musical preferences of a 12-year-old, so that might explain that.
Also, I refuse to believe Britney is responsible for any "wordplay." She's barely capable of "words." Whoever wrote that, they shouldn't be bragging about it. Finding "clever" ways to say/write "fuck" goes back a pretty long way.
32. Fletch - January 26, 2009 1:49 PM
I'd still do her
33. Maria - January 26, 2009 1:52 PM
Ill...Fletch " Still do Her"....YUCK, YOU WILL CATCH AIDS FROM THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
34. Maria - January 26, 2009 1:52 PM

Oh, I get it.....
*scrunches eyebrows at RichPort's Ghost*
38. Andrea - January 26, 2009 2:18 PM
lol@22 "Fay Sing Yee East" = Facing Yeast, sick, hahaha. Maybe Adnan wrote that one.
39. gestulation - January 26, 2009 2:20 PM
damn she looks good
if you seek amy is a good song too
40. Splooge - January 26, 2009 2:21 PM
COMING SOON!!
A hilarious video about a guy who posted links to "hilarious VIDEO about DUDE THAT GOT TRAMPLED AT WAL-MART:".
The family of that dude figured out who it was and beat the living shit out of him while onlookers applauded!!
41. joanna - January 26, 2009 2:22 PM
WOOOOW, that is really old news
42. RichPort's Ghost - January 26, 2009 2:31 PM
She could have named the song Fah Q.
43. Vince - January 26, 2009 2:34 PM
I thought "scrunches eyebrows" was a trick that Armenian strippers did.
44. meee - January 26, 2009 2:55 PM
dude fish you are really slacking.
it's either "are cacti edible" or "is a cactus edible". god i'm starting to hate you!
45. Moonchild65 - January 26, 2009 3:08 PM
She's nasty...I'd never do a chick whose tits are perpetually staring at my shoes.
My question is why does she even wear the headset when she lip-syncs everything?
Great video here of Britney singing "Live" :

@44, the Grammar Nazi:
It's a joke written in the vernacular of Britney Spears. How did your superior intellect miss that? Oh, right, you're a shriveled up bitch with a dusty burgina. Got it.
47. Jrz - January 26, 2009 3:30 PM
Mother May I C-U-P
48. Lee Marie - January 26, 2009 3:44 PM
What the hell is up with the high waisted underpants?
And that is possibly the lamest double entendre.
49. NEVER BACK DOWN MAN - January 26, 2009 4:01 PM
IF = F
U = U
See = C
k A = K
my = ME
FUCK ME
50. Meeting in Kansas...LOL - January 26, 2009 4:13 PM
I love that song!! Go Britney.
51. Racer X - January 26, 2009 4:14 PM
F-U-C-K-ME!
/I see what they did there
52. pete - January 26, 2009 4:16 PM
#47- I think "Brother May I C-U-P" is the first single on Kim Kardashian's album.
53. Jim Jones - January 26, 2009 4:18 PM
Hmm, I needed to check the comments to understand what it was supposed to be. Methinks Clear Channel is overreacting, but what does one expect from CC? Hopefully their eventual demise can be one of the high points of this economic downturn.
54. Aja - January 26, 2009 4:25 PM
LOL @ # 52
55. andrew - January 26, 2009 5:43 PM
If You See Kaye (tell her i love her)
better entendre and better song
56. Leila - January 26, 2009 6:02 PM
I think she looks great now....I'm sick of everyone putting her down considering she has worked hard to get herself back in shape (mentally & physically)...She's a human being too and to say those types of things are just so horrible.
57. Adam - January 26, 2009 6:42 PM
Wouldn't a double entendre imply that the sentence had a first meaning?
It's just nonsense that sounds like swearing.
58. mathemagician - January 26, 2009 6:56 PM
This song would have caused far more controversy if it was titled "If U Seek A YOUNG PANDA, IN THE REAR, WITH A TABLE-LEG, MULTIPLE TIMES"
59. Splooge - January 26, 2009 6:57 PM
Uh, Leila, if you're sick of everyone putting her down, you may want to switch to a different web site. That's what we do here.
60. Balack Obama Fixin' America, 1 Nigga at a time - January 26, 2009 7:37 PM
Yeah, she steals song ideas from April Wine. They did this is '82. Big deal. Her clothes looks like she was inspired by the 80's too with the stupid tit high shorts.

wow what a class act...when will this dumb bitch fall off a cliff
63. Lio - January 26, 2009 9:34 PM
I haven't heard the song, but anybody who pronounces "If" like "Eff"
is a fucking total moron...
64. Ohla - January 26, 2009 9:58 PM
Regardless of the shitty double entendre, I just googled the song and it blows. Who cares, next.
65. Brooke - January 26, 2009 10:33 PM
Seriously, congratulations to people who figured out what the hell that was supposed to mean.
It's not clever if it's retarded, though.
66. Ummm...yeah... - January 26, 2009 10:38 PM
*Sigh* Why oh Why won't this skanky bitch die already?? WTF is the big deal?
Nobody I know wants to fuck that skanky hillbilly...she's a legend in her own fucked up mind.
Here's a thought for you Skankney...Go Fuck Yourself! How about that?
@#56 STFU fucking dumbass cunt...that's what we come here for...go suck skankney's rotten pussy....it's obvious that you want to...

71. Jezper - January 27, 2009 6:46 AM
Bah, all a bunch of whining. Bloodhound Gang were able to give out Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo without any problems.
72. Narcissist - January 27, 2009 7:27 AM
I'm torn over her abs. I still think some kind of sheer covering would look better.
73. Arrrland - January 27, 2009 8:18 AM
That is so last year... Irish band 'The Script' already released a single this year called 'If you See Kay'. Clearly someones been doing too much music 'sampling'...

76. sarah - January 27, 2009 8:44 AM
I've been listening to the song for ages, and I never worked that one out lol. I'm sure a child wouldn't have even guessed that one. This world has gone mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
77. Pathetic Worm - January 27, 2009 1:28 PM
Sooo... do I to want to fuck Britney or Amy?
Someone hand me that edible cactus, I'll see where it fits the best.
78. Me 2 - January 27, 2009 2:12 PM
These pictures are a couple months old now but I just want to point out - in case there are any doubters out there who are still dubious of Britney's return to sexy - compare these with the above pictures of Jessica Simpson. Britney looks like the hottest fucking thing ever.
I know Jessica can technically sing better than Britney but she is damn irritating. I prefer a hot blonde mess who is straight crazy, Jessica is just annoying.
79. Balls McCoy - January 27, 2009 3:33 PM
I had heard the song a few times and never really got it, pop lyrics are usually so disposable I didn't pay it much attention, I thought it was a little lesbian type anthem ala that loser Katy Perry. Go figure.
80. texash - January 27, 2009 4:16 PM
ha ha.. maria- how jealous could you be? show a little bit more immature rage there... wow
i say rock on britney- success is hard earned- and she earns it- with dirty lyrics or clean
81. bob - January 27, 2009 4:45 PM
someone shoudl mention Brit or her songwriters are just ripping off the awesome Canadian group April Wine who had a minor radio hit with If You See Kay in 1980...get it iF yoU Cee Kay
82. bob - January 27, 2009 4:45 PM

Could you bring Jessica to the gym with you?
84. SIN - January 29, 2009 4:37 AM
She is looking good again but she still has a terrible voice. Stop trying to sing, you can't. We just like to see you. Go into Porno. Make everyone happy.
85. Jerks - January 30, 2009 11:14 AM
what is wrong with 15, 33, 34, 35... Maria ? are you on crack? can't you say something productive. i guess you know BS personally to call her all those names.
86. itsmeagain - April 9, 2009 4:54 PM
Why hate on Britney? She is trying. Nice song. and a good video to go with it.
