[Here's the writer's paradox for the day -- do you still write a post that made you think "Hey, here's a clever way to show how UN-clever writing naughty lyrics is"? Are you stooping to their level or are you making a point? I'm afraid it's the former, but in the interest of the latter, I'll go ahead and post it...]
Ok I heard about Britney's new song, because apparently *gasp* it's stirred up some controversy! Yep, just like Madonna, http://www.lovehateoprah.com/lovehateoprah/2008/08/desperately-seeking-soupcon-of-relevance.html , La Brit has grabbed her crotch harder and expects us to pay her some attention.
Well, I'm on board that parents have to be aware of what's out there, and so here's the warning: Her latest song's title has a spelled-out double entendre. It's called "If You Seek Amy." Get it? Ooooh, isn't that clever, naughty, edgy -- whatever it is that seems to appeal to her fans.
(And just who are her fans these days? The likes of this guy?)
Seriously, is this supposed to be worth more than a yawn and an eye roll? I mean, come on kids -- your great-grandmothers blushed at songs about "hot dogs for their rolls" and your grandfathers crouched around "Louie, Louie" trying to figure out the lyrics. Your parents danced to "Superfreak" and just a couple years ago you were sniggering about "This Love" by Maroon Five. We all get it. You have not stumbled upon anything new.
So Britney's songwriter can take a four-letter word and a pronoun and turn it into a lewd homophonic sentence. That's hardly cutting edge or clever.
It took this stay-at-home mom of 7 about two minutes to come up with the follow-up hit while cleaning her kitchen. It's a song about all the fuss the paparazzi make when Britney goes to a restaurant. The chorus includes the line:
"They want to take pictures of me eating. See, oh see, chaos."
Get it? Yawn. Eye roll. Nothing clever or edgy about that -- just base, childish sex-think.
So be aware parents. But you might want to try my approach. Simply steer your kids clear, and pay Britney no mind. Nothing to see -- or hear -- here. Move along.
“This guy” referred to the YouTube video of the “Leave Britney alone” fan. (Forgot that the HTML don’t translate.)
Eh why not. The sluttification of America’s youth has long since come to pass. It’s like fighting to go back on the gold standard. Those days are gone. Or those days IZ gone, in common parlance.
Britney should take a cue from ex-mouseketeer compadre Christina Aguilera. You can be sexy without being a skank. But then Britney as about 1/10th the talent of Aguilera.
I think you made your point. It made me remember the “controversy” that broke out when “Voulez vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?” was released when I was in high school more than 30 years ago. We’re all still here. Or many of us who were kids then, anyway.
I believe the correct title of the song was “Lady Marmalade.”
I’m lard-headed. I can’t figure out the double-entendra.
Can someone clearly describe what it is supposed to mean for us of a different generation?
OK, i’ll bite...
sound it out phonetically....
eff you see kay .... me.
My daughter was at school and she was looking for her friend Kay... and another girl would not let her speak (kept interrupting) so it went like this (picture shouting across a crowded gymnasium)
“IF YOU SEE KAY.....IF YOU SEE KEY....IF YOU SEE KAY”
Then she heard herself and was mortified... because everyone had stopped to stare
She’s in a tiff with Megyn Kelly at FoxNews due to Ms. Kelly’s criticism of Britney’s new song. When it comes to Mousketeers, I’ll take Annette Funicello any day.
I was using “seek ay.”
Egad! My “old school” teacher Miss Ziebarth (8th grade) really worked me over in our English lesson, especially pronunciation.
The Canadian rock band April Wine did a song called "If you see Kay"years ago.I hope Britney gets sued for copyright infringement if she can't by putting out rotten music.
F*** Me
