Super diva of controversies, Britney Spears is once again under fire, but this time because of her song "If U Seek Amy". The Parents Television Council has called the radio stations not to air the song as it would be violating the broadcast indecency law, if aired between 6 a. m. and 10 p. m. The organization has also issued warning to parents regarding Britney's song.
Annoyed by the song "If U Seek Amy," Spears' the third single from new Jive album, "Circus," the parent groups says that Spear's song is a crude lyrical trick and it doesn't deserve to be aired. The group argues that the song sounds like a crass entreaty instead of advice for finding a girl.
According to PTC president Tim Winter, the title phrase sounds like "F-word". Winter said, "There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy,"
"It's one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it's an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly-owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience," he added.
Despite the controversy, Spears' song "If U Seek Amy" is growing in popularity. According to Nielsen SoundScan, over 107,000 copies of the song have been sold in the United States. Six top 40 stations have aired the song. It was placed at No. 92 on the Billboard Pop 100 chart. Program director Tommy Chuck said, "We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines."
