The video for her new single Hold It Against Me debuted just last week but Britney Spears and the first song from her new album has certainly made an impact, although perhaps not in the way she was hoping for.

In fact, the 29-year-old singer is being accused of plagiarism and is facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

Britney is accused of ‘ripping off’ the rock ballad If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me by the Bellamy Brothers.

Of course. It’s on the radio and I like all kinds of music. To hear the Bellamy Brothers I have to plug in the iPod though.

Does it actually sound the same or is it just a similar theme?

Why make videos anymore when MTV and VH1 no longer play them?

What do musicians make videos for now, YouTube?

I don’t think the Bellamy Brothers have any competition from Britney. She ma have stolen a few phrases, but her song is nothing like theirs.

If I were the Judge I would throw it out.

“Can she even write ?”

Yes, endlessly. It’s emails, texts, letters, flowers, all “please sleep with me again, Jewbacca, I love you.”

Annoying.

I think Groucho Marx used that line in one of his movies, long before the Bellamy Brothers hit song.

Yes, I remember that. It’s probably a very old joke.
