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!”

Mr. Krinkle | January 26, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Yeah, I said that phrase fast, couldn’t figure out what was the big deal.
Rachell | January 26, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Hmmm why are high-waisted, roll enhancing pants now in style?
Bobo | January 26, 2009 at 1:15 pm
IF = F
U = U

“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.”
LawnGnome | January 26, 2009 at 1:19 pm
If you see gay me???
wtf | January 26, 2009 at 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.
RichPort's Ghost | January 26, 2009 at 1:21 pm
If one of her ass cheeks is an entendre, I’ll take a double.
Maria | January 26, 2009 at 1:22 pm

DOES JESUS KNOW ABOUT THIS??
p0nk | January 26, 2009 at 1:24 pm
i’m sure the 12-13yo market she targets will find this devilishly clever.
pete | January 26, 2009 at 1:24 pm
At least at the moment, she’s not nearly as fat as Jessica Blimpson.
p0nk | January 26, 2009 at 1:25 pm
@6 rachel, how else do you hide lipo scars and still attempt to dress scantily?
Lisa | January 26, 2009 at 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!!
Sandy | January 26, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I prefer the third track, “Fay Sing Yee East.”
drewski2u | January 26, 2009 at 1:29 pm
“If You Sick Of Me?”
And how!
BTW, good one #14

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

slammy | January 26, 2009 at 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”
Nattyb | January 26, 2009 at 1:37 pm
She also seems to be very capable of vagina play as well.
Guest | January 26, 2009 at 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!!!
Lost | January 26, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Uhh…I’m still not sure what I am suppose to do if I see a gay me?
mike skoop | January 26, 2009 at 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*
LL | January 26, 2009 at 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.
Fletch | January 26, 2009 at 1:49 pm
I’d still do her
Maria | January 26, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Ill…Fletch ” Still do Her”….YUCK, YOU WILL CATCH AIDS FROM THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gestulation | January 26, 2009 at 2:20 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!!
joanna | January 26, 2009 at 2:22 pm
WOOOOW, that is really old news
RichPort's Ghost | January 26, 2009 at 2:31 pm
She could have named the song Fah Q.
Vince | January 26, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I thought “scrunches eyebrows” was a trick that Armenian strippers did.
meee | January 26, 2009 at 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!
Moonchild65 | January 26, 2009 at 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.

Lee Marie | January 26, 2009 at 3:44 pm
What the hell is up with the high waisted underpants?
And that is possibly the lamest double entendre.
