Britney Spears: If You Seek Amy Lyrics Controversy

Britney Spears' song "If You Seek Amy" is creating a "controversy" with a parental advisory group claiming the song title, when sung really fast, sounds like "F-U-C-K me." The Parental Television Council says this violated indecency standards and is urging the FCC to take action against radio stations playing the song.

First, let's get one thing out of the way. I like Britney, but this song sucks. In my opinion it is just a contrived vehicle to use this code phrase for the F word. (Oh wait, I'm in the internet I can say fuck, right?) I do agree with the PTC guy who says this song is clearly not about a girl name Amy and is really a song about F-ing, or at least talking about the possibility of F-ing. But, he's really only doing Britney a favor by protesting.

Protesting a song is the surest way for an otherwise mediocre effort to climb the charts. According to Reuters, radio stations are playing the song more frequently and has climbed into the Billboard 100 pop chart. Also, Soundscan says the single has sold over 100,000 copies. With the media attention further spotlighting "If You Seek Amy" you it's a safe bet that both numbers will rise. Here are the offending lyrics and you can listen here:

Lalalalala
Oh baby baby
Have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom
Is she smokin' up outside
Oh

Oh baby baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Do you know just what she likes
Oh

Oh Oh
Tell me have you seen her
Because I'm so
Oh
I can't get her off of my brain

I just want to go to the party she gonna go
Can somebody take me home
Ha ha he ha ha ho

Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You 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 You Seek Amy

Lalalalalala

Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when and now they're closing up the club
Oh

I've seen her want to drive before she knows my face
But it's hard to see with all the people standing in the way
Oh

Oh oh
Tell me have you seen her
Because I'm so
Oh
I can't get her off of my brain

I just want to go to the party she's gonna go
Can somebody take me home
Ha ha he ha ha ho

Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
