If You Seek Amy

[thesands49]

Penn the joke is better and more complete from Joyce's Ulysses:

if you see kay

tell him he may

see you in tea

tell him from me

the prison gate girls in joyce’s ulysses

That third line is well you can get it

[blackwingangel04]

I'm sorry Penn, but I can't agree on the song being "great". But then, I despise everything that constitutes Pop music. Especially not Brittney Spears.

It's a clever joke (and shame on anyone who didn't get it within the first 3 times you heard the words), but that's not enough to make it worth listening to, in my ears.

[Tiffgirl113]

if is f  you is u seek c k me learn ppl

[amm2911]

penn, i hate you so much

[matiaukas]

@amm2911 ಥ_ಥ how dare you.....

[TheOmegaeyes]

Sounds like this guy never got past his teenage angst. The bitch prob didn't even come up with that stupid shit, lol!

[TasteOfGreen]

Yeah thats hot, thats hot.

[KaylorMade]

Penn has the balls to say what likes and/or dislikes that: and I respect that. However, is this vlog a petty magicians trick to get into Britneys pants? Haha. Penn Says: Awesome

[TheBigTasty]

:53 "...one of the greatest pop songs of all time."  Really? Have we been so bombarded with awful music in the mainstream that this is what we've come to respect? A song based on a 3rd grade joke sung by an auto-tuned pair of tits, written by someone completely different? I think I'm going to be sick...

[notp1nk]

right on

[MarkArandjus]

DOes Britney even write her own material?

[rontheweasle]

That's unfair. That's not her job.

[SuperNovaSirius]

And FINALLY I get it! Lol! Britney si awesome

[pennsays]

@SuperNovaSirius Welcome to the club! :-)

[Blaspherian666]

what he like britney spears????

[Sai52]

ha ha... It took me a while to get it as well. I was trying to understand why the phrase "If You Seek Amy" was put right after "all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to" ...it didnt makes sense! But then once it clicked I had to laugh at myself for not getting it sooner. And it made me love the song even more!

[ShredderMetal]

It's been DECADES since I was a third grader on the playground... that joke was way more fun back then. Kids!  Try yelling that at your teachers nowadays! Chances are it'll just get a retarded song stuck in their heads.

[LafinJack]

Turbonegro did it first - do a search for "If You See Kaye". There's no music video for it, but a couple people have uploaded just the song itself.

[beebee890]

lol

[Galt425]

"for the most part I'm outside of Pop..." and at least for me (G425) that is -really- working...

[CoffinPuppet]

Who cares.There was Madonna before Britney.

If the music industry can package, sell and promote a woman to be a whore they will.Role models they are not and any parent who allows their young children to idolize such trash deserves what their child's decisions do in the future.

[stimulii]

Had to have this explained to me, hilarious.

[Hydron27]

If=F

U=U

Cee=C

Ka=K

Me=Me

For those who dont know the message in the song.

[LaTortuga07]

Oh! Thanks, cause I was never gonna get that.

[wormbaby79]

"there's something Britney really good at and thats it" Hell yeah and she can sell it too. I remember in 98 they used to play "hit me one more time" in the stripclubs and folks would go nuts!

[unknownorigin84]

Ive only just got it

[mmmrazor]

Post-mAnopausal fame whore latches onto fecund fame whore. Both will be forgotten long before they die.

[KingCrimson776]

Sun Ra, Beethoven, and Berg... epic.

[hearUme89]

what a fucking creep

[pdeleon9]

That is a genius song!!! To think that all the so-called bad words in all languages have to do with natural things that humans do then this song is really tame.

[alexander92648]

shut the hell up you fat buttfuck. your suck a dumbass

[Kiru26]

Looks like someone needs a time out.

[LarryFuckit]

suck a dumbass? God damn...

[Casadalinnis]

Vid was genius and the hidden inuendo made the song even better. Would I go to watch her lip sync it in concert? Hell no. Catchy video and song but it's a rare occurence for her to actually make me like a song she hasn't written. Am I a fan? Not until this song. I'm just waiting for her to switch to porn when the songs stop selling. That's talent when I'm a chick. XD

[BDoggyDog05]

lol didnt get it now im lmao lol!

[BDoggyDog05]

wow im stupid i still dont get it

[BDoggyDog05]

never mind

[Joey93N1U5]

See you, Auntie.

[mmmrazor]

[Pantslessbob]

Dude, you're really creepy. Stop talking.

[scotsmanlerxt]

"...there's something Brittney's really good at and that's it." Truer words have NEVER been spoken. LOL!

[meb1982]

It took me a while but I finally got it. That is a very clever title.

[bandwagonretards]

what is with all this brittany spears dicksucking lately?

she doesn't write or produce her own songs, the credit needs to go to the fucking team of people who made her music/image/everything.

she's just an idiot face and a voice.

[dcparr00]

Oh, um...are none of you REALLY not getting the irony...

[hardhittn63]

ya me

[SameFatCrow]

yeah, that's some great pop music.

[SnakeladyGreta]

Actually, thank you for bringing this up. I've never heard the song and would probably have never intended to hear it since I normally listen to metal and hard rock. However, after watching your video, I checked out her video... and that was pretty funny! :)

[ezmorningrebel]

Word gag aside, that song is a mess. All the words in the chorus rammed in their barely fitting, the fact that she sings "oh baby baby" over and over to fill a quarter of the song lyric wise, the cookie cutter Garage Band backing track.

There's nothing redeeming about this aside from the play on words, and as someone pointed out, she's about 30 years too late for that to be an original idea.

But don't listen to me, I'm probably just jealous.

>>>"The mediocre praising the bland."

[CrispyGFX]

What the hell.

[BigAtheist]

although I like some of her songs and she plays the slut well in her videos, Britney has never been one I considered extraordinarily attractive but I must admit the MILF Britney look in the pink sweater at the end of her video was surprisingly hot.

[qtanabanana]

Was he on Dancing With The Stars?!?!

[DeviousNutria]

He was on Dont Forget the Lyrics

[kittlovely]

yes.

[SpikeIncorporated]

You haven't fucked Brittany Spears and say it was because you did not have a chance?

Even I've fucked Brittany Spears.

[AdamEnigma]

Penn is funneh

[cooldjice]

I totally agree with you, Penn.

Thanks for being positive and finally giving Britney some credit.

Anyway you slice it, she is a superstar.

People who don't like her are usually just jealous of her.

[JebusGeist]

cooldjice

I'd just like to check in as one of the people who don't particularly care for the style of music she has produced, don't care for her personality, and generally don't care for a good portion of her fan base who do not know the difference between being a singer and being a song writer or being a dancer and being a choreographer.

I will say tho, her voice is adequate. I would not mind hearing her do something with a slower tempo, more depressed, something that fits in at a classy lounge

[xwinoxrhinox]

Try her song "Out From Under"

[unclestaco]

This is horrible

[sneegro]

april fools?

[stvixen]

PENN, honey. Choke yourself.

Britney has nothing to do with any of the music she sings other than singing it and selling her ass. There is a whole industry designed especially to make her look more gifted and talented than she really is. You know that! You remind me of the old guy who talks about the "artistry" of her first video. We all know it was bordering on kiddie porn. Geez! She hasn't changed much since then. I'll take her seriously when she puts more clothes on.

[PlayT0E]

The song explains that if you expect Amy (Winehouse) when watching Britney, that there is now a change.

[Diskatopia]

Surely the Penn is being satirical here... right?Surely. Isn't he?

Or maybe positioning for a future lay?

I mean "one of the greatest pop songs of all time"?

Seriously?

Surely this vid is an uber subtle gibe, a Penn way of saying "all pop music sucketh"?

If not... wow.

Just... wow.

[zile15]

I think he's serious.

And I think he means "one of the greatest pop songs of all time" not because of the music but for all the controversy.

The name is one of the best :)

[funboy7979]

I repeat: The mediocre praising the bland.

[drudow]

This is sweet.

[EchoZeroX]

woah

[UlyssesBreckenridge]

funny but it makes it really fucking hard to read

[hisoj]

click the link that says you prefer the old layout

[exodus2142]

if the link isn't click already how could anyone read your comment

[cranie4]

The title is not clever Penn. There are at least 2 songs from YEARS ago titled "If You See Kay". They just played on that.I think it's time for her to move into something that will really get our attention back..porn.

[haypenny]

More power to Brit for making a living & practicing free speech, but I think this genre of music, its modern incarnation, is insipid and totally lacking in originality. It's not like I could do a better job, but I think there hasn't been really great music for quite a while. I don't think that anything Brit has ever done could qualify as the "greatest of all time" - not even close. May be a bit snobbish of me, but I'm just very disappointed in the direction music has gone in the last 10 years.

[smeefan]

wtf everything backwards

[FluffyMuffinMan]

Upside down, actually

[culwin]

10 year olds on the playgrounds across America should sue Britney for copyright infringement.

[pariah530]

Penn knows pop, IfYouSeekAmy, is what it's all about. If you don't seek amy, you don't seek progression. All skeptics BOW TO PENN. (and all snobs SUCK PENNS DICK)

[bathroomdealer]

Greatest pop song of all time?? The Stones and surviving Beatles must be quaking!! Come on Penn really??

[culwin]

The Stones are rock, and the Beatles mostly are too... I wouldn't call them "pop"...

[stodluke]

meh... pop music is not for me. Metal in all forms. and classical... and rock....

[SnakeladyGreta]

same here. I prefer metal, classical, rock, punk, and "mixtures" of the above. :)

[pfarabee]

I actually think there is a triple meaning in the song, lol.

There are quite a few lesbian overtones in the video, not to mention her singing longingly about a girl named Amy, so I think the lyrics can also be heard as "If you see gay me"

[Shrinkynuts]

That play on words is so old and tired. Leave it to mainstream payola music to come to it centuries late. Penn is too easily amused.

[Desertphile]

Who's Brittney ?

[funboy7979]

The mediocre praising the bland. Perfect.

[jackson0082]

help i really don't get it at all

[VadimDubois]

F-U-C-K ME

[jackson0082]

maybe if i heard the song i would have got it

[dg4rez]

"All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to F U C K me"

[fcabido]

i'd nail hasselbeck because i hate her it'd be like a protest in her fundamentalist vag

[foe1one]

I think your creepy old man is showing again Penn. The joke is cheese dick innuendo like alot of pop bullshit now. Nickleback's "something in your mouth" as a good example. Not to mention every single thing about britney is fake. Fake face, fake voice, someone else's songs. Smoke and mirrors.... hmmm perhaps that's why you like it?

[fcabido]

word you see the video of the crowd throwing rocks at dickleback in portugal?

[oober349]

sun ra fa sho

[dannyboyfour]

F. U. C. K. me

[teikalen]

Don't be grumpy just because you didn't catch the wordplay. :-P It's right up there with Guess What Batman by Lily Allen

[theogore]

Penn: Britney's writers cribbed this gag from James Joyce in Ulysses:

If you see kay

Tell him he may

See you in tea

Tell him from me.

After that in 1977, R. Stevie Moore wrote - "If You See Kay", and after this - April Wine in 82 with: "If You See Kay".

There's others, but just wanted to give you an FYI...

[GuineaJay]

Keep up the flattery, maybe she will sleep with you. I know you dont drink but keep some booze around, you know how she is after a few drinks.

[Rocky183]

I also spent a load of time to get the joke in the title. BRILLIANT joke.

[IsaacScharp]

I agree completely.

[majesticmeteor]

He's got to be kidding.

I think ole Penn is just reaching out to a younger demographic here.

I guess Madoff got him and Teller, too, and they're gearing up for a 15 year tour to make back all the $buck$ they lost.

[EffinPiss]

I disagree completely. [:

[andytom]

Wow... Penn likes Britney... Cool level slipped down a notch there...

[DragonlordWarlock]

Definitely not a CD I am going to run out and buy.

[sozishere]

Fucking A.

We haven't got this song yet, but I think it's far too subtle for most of us =D

Kudos should go half to her and half to Shellback & Martin. Deadly combo.

[qsdftfdsq]

i dont get it.....

[HarryNRubin]

LOL i just figured it out....

[longboarddude]

now if she only wrote the song

[antybu86]

Haha... I remember Blink 182 almost named one of their albums "If You See Kay"

[AtheismandSkepticism]

My Science, I love Penn's laugh!

[hardhittn63]

I dont get it

[tinkkiou]

I actually agree. I don't like pop music but that song and its message, I just love it. It cracked me up.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

Censorship is largely BS, no matter how you slice it.

[777NeonEater777]

Sorry Penn but I think that song is shit.

[ZzDe0]

I finely got it at the end of the video.

[oddwhiteguy]

Y'know, I wouldn't have known either if a mildly upset friend of mine (named Amy) hadn't pointed it out to me.

[TomorrowTheDead]

Why Penn?!?!?

Brittney Fan Boy. lol

But i still got love for you. hahaha....

[UssenterprizeDv2]

I would totally. To enjoy life the way you should and have sex, Lots of sex

like the Grandpa in "Little Miss Sunshine" says.

[razieldumas]

Penn...you disappoint me, man.

Britney Spears disgusts me.

[c6gunner]

"Britney Spears disgusts me."

Ditto. She's trash.

[KALfilms]

I third that.

[brentbraniff]

You mentioned Tiny Tim. I met him many years ago when he was being interviewed at the station I work for. What a nice guy he was. We had a nice conversation about Richard Perry who produced him and Nilsson and Ringo Starr. It was fun.

[LufsyLurqy]

I tought this had to do with the Chasing Amy thing

[N7COF]

Off Topic but know James Randi is a friend of yours - any thoughts on his YT channel getting suspended yesterday afternoon.

Thanks - Brian in Vegas

[ZizzyB23]

Penn never told us about getting thrown out of her concerts. Did he?

[Dheak]

James Joyce did it better many, many years ago.  He even had one for cunt; "If you see Kay, see you in tea.".

[CrunkRockSteadyEvan]

f u c k me

thats pretty funny

i liked that foxtrot uniform charlie kilo song by the bloodhound gang, lyrics are hilarious

[MassZombicide]

what? is tit suppose to sound liek if you fuck me or somethin? cause that's the closest I could come to it sounden funny but I ainta sure if thats it

[codyclarke]

F - U - C - K me.

[MassZombicide]

Yeah that's what I ment, i go it right. thanks for teh confirmation

[Hamhark98]

No, not exactly. It is if you F U C K me.

[SUTHERNGIRRLL]

I would of NEVER guessed you to be a Brittney fan. Cool!

[TheStig000]

It's not like she wrote the song though, lol.

[CarolineATRC]

It took me ages to figure it out as well, made me feel old, i would have sex with her also

[BiteMetal]

Haha, I didn't expect Penn to be a closet Britney fan. Awesome!

[xthesexxx]

oh wow, i didn't get it until this video lol.

i agree, i love the song. and i usually hate pop music.

[alixinthemiddle]

XD i had to have someone explain the joke to me, too.

[TheHarbinger09]

I got it when I heard it on the radio and honestly thought she said, "F U C K M E" and I thought, "What the fuck?!?!"

[musicalmike235]

( . )( . )

^ the only thing Brittney is good for and the only thing she ever will be good for. She is a fucking bimbo.

[ogjimkenobi]

I fucking don't get it, is it supposed to sound like "F.U.C.K. Me"?

[Nmbrz]

apparently

[pibot314]

if you seek amy=eff you c k me=f.u.c.k me

[TerriLi]

.....dang it I just got it....I blame the deafness.

[ashleytisdiale]

^_^

[petercoffin]

I love that song... maybe a little late on the draw for this topic, but I agree: perfect pop song.

Anything that makes people hear the word "fuck" is wonderful. "Fuck" doesn't hurt anyone.

[angleGT40]

Thank you for helping me get that one. FUNNY !!!!!

[gavin32]

lol i get it now.

"F U C K me"

[sweatytoothmadman]

Wow that was unexpected.

[gavin32]

can someone explain the joke to me? :P seriously

[GuardMarcellus]

"If you seek Amy" sounds pretty much the same as "If you seek gay me."

I think that's it, though I haven't heard the song myself.

[Hamhark98]

No. I figured it out now. Its pretty good actually. Its about how the words sound and not the words themselves. Also the words are letters. If you see k amy is F(if) U(you) C(see) K(K) ME (amy). She is saying F.U.C.K me.

[GuardMarcellus]

Yes, I listened to the song and realized that after thinking about it a bit.

I wouldn't have thought more of it, if the lyrics made sense, but the fact that they didn't - "Are begging to if you seek Amy" - made me realize.

It's very clever actually, I wonder to what extent she came up with it herself.

[hatemeproductions]

If you seek amy= f--u-c-k

[musicalmike235]

Wrong

If you seek amy = f-u-c-k ME

[XiaoGui17]

nope

[burnhippiesforfuel]

maybe

[mirosotoz]

Damn sweet intro! haha

[Surathan]

Wow.. thats funny

I got it in 5 seconds

[kickthebass]

bravo, you are clearly a genius.

[Surathan]

Nope, I just have an extremely dirty mind

Thanks for the compliment tho

[splein23]

yeh the title really is a good way to eat at the line the fcc has set.

[JerkyChid]

People overblow things too much

[BRANSCOMBEx]

I seek Penn!
