For those that may have been hiding under a rock...or maybe in your FFXI bat cave...or maybe you live in Canada where we don't obsess over this kinda stuff >.> ...
If U Seek Amy is the latest Britney Spears single. It's really quite catchy and has a 300% chance to get stuck in your head for days on end. So...good job on that, whoever wrote this song.
Anywho, If U Seek Amy has been in the American news well before it's video release... and here's why...
Quote :
La la la, la la la la la La la la, la la la la la(repeat twice)
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 I'm a buy her do you know just what she likes? Oh
Oh oh, tell me have you seen her? cause I'm so oh I can't get her off of my brain I just want to go to the party she gon' go Can somebody take me home? Ha ha, he 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
(love me, hate me) La la la, la la la la la La la la, la la la la la
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 once or twice 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, cause I'm so oh I can't get her off of my brain I just want to go to the party she gon' go Can somebody take me home? Ha ha, he 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 Love me hate me Oh, say what you want about me Oh, but can't you see what I see? (Love me Hate me) Oh, say what you want about me? La la la, la la la la la
So tell me if you see her (let me know what she was wearin, yeah, and what she was like) 'Cause I've been waiting here forever (let me know what she was goin out of mind) Oh baby baby if you seek Amy tonight Oh baby baby we'll do whatever you like Oh baby baby baby Oh baby baby baby
La la la, la la la la la La la la, la la la la la (repeat 2x)
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 Love me hate me, say what you want about me, (yeah) 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
(Love me hate me) Oh, say what you want about me Oh, but can't you see what I see? (Love me hate me) Oh, say what you want about me All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy.
Having seen/read that, if it's not blatantly obvious to you...and it should be...
If U Seek Amy = F - U - C - K me.
Or phonetically Eff - yoo - see - kay - mee.
Whichever you prefer.
People are going crazy over the lyrics of this song.
Parents are having fits. Music channels and radio stations don't know what to do with the song. Blog spots are plastered with chatter of it all. The amount of time spent on actual news television coverage of this is unbelievable.
Mass talk of having the song and video banned from play anywhere.
This is NOT the first song to do such a thing. If U Seek Amy is not setting lyrical records or making history.
The controversy over this simple trickery of words...is absolutely astounding.
They're angry at what it is implying, calling it an "embedded message" ...
Yet, just as sheer similar genre comparison, Rihanna's Shut Up And Drive gets madcrazy airplay and airtime worldwide, 24/7.
Quote :
[Verse 1] I've been looking for a driver who's qualified So if you think that you're the one step into my ride I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine With a sunroof top and a gangster lean
[Bridge] So if you feel me let me know, know, know Come on now what you waiting for, for, for My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[Chorus] Get you where you wanna go if you know what i mean Got a ride that smoother than a limosine Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights? If you can baby boy then we can go all night
Cuz I'm 0 to 60 in three point five Baby you got the keys-
Now shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
[Verse 2] I got class like a 57 cadillac Got all the drive but a whole lot of boom in the back You look like you can handle whats under my hood You keep saying that you will boy I wish you would
[Bridge] So if you feel me let me know, know, know Come on now what you waiting for, for, for My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[Chorus] Get you where you wanna go if you know what i mean Got a ride that smoother than a limosine Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights? If you can baby boy then we can go all night
Cuz I'm 0 to 60 in three point five Baby you got the keys-
Now shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Cuz you play the game, got what I got (Get it Get it) Don't Stop It's a sure shot Aint no ferrari huh boy I'm sorry I ain't even worried So step inside and ride (ride, ride, ride, ride, ride...)
[Bridge] So if you feel me let me know, know, know Come on now what you waiting for, for, for My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
[Chorus] Get you where you wanna go if you know what i mean Got a ride that smoother than a limosine Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights? If you can baby boy then we can go all night
Cuz I'm 0 to 60 in three point five Baby you got the keys-
Now shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Now shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive (drive, drive, drive)
...but these lyrics didn't send off mass-glittery-exploding "embedded message" fireworks in any one's head?
Lolseriously.
Really...?
...for real?
Come. On.
Where was the mass news controversy coverage of this song?
And this is only one example out of hundreds upon hundreds that could probably be dug up.

Get over it. There's much larger, more important issues in the world we should be focusing our time on.
Not some fluff pop song, using the same type of play on words that William Shakespeare did.

Or James Joyce.

Oi.
That would be the newscast that was parodied in the music video.
