Britney Spears is quite the clever songstress as we can see with her song “If U Seek Amy.” At first, she was able to get away with the lyrics “If you seek Amy,” even though if you say those words quickly, they sound awfully close to something more suggestive. After this caught on, many radio stations censored or banned the song.
