Oh that Britney Spears sure is clever. Her current single, "If U Seek Amy" isn't really about a woman named Amy -- or at least the chorus isn't.

Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' 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 beggin' to
If you seek Amy

Get it? The Parents Television Council did, and they are quite upset.

The PTC believes that the song, entitled "If You Seek Amy," would violate the broadcast indecency law if aired between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The song makes repeated use of the following line: "All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy."

"This may sound Yogi Berra-ish, but Britney's song is a double-entendre with only one meaning. There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song; and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy," said PTC President Tim Winter.

Of course, as the OED's Jesse Sheidlower notes, Britney's little trick isn't so new. There's a long history of "If You See Kay" songs, going back to Memphis Slim's 1963 song (though, to be fair Britney's song does have a little twist, using "Amy" instead of "Kay"). This cute little trick also appears in James Joyce's Ulysses and was used by other literary giants, including William Shakespeare. So, PTC, lighten up! Britney's just showing off her literary chops.
