It's worth mentioning in the database that two versions of the Britney Spears' song "If U Seek Amy" were released. The album version is called "If U Seek Amy," while the clean radio version is called "If U See Amy." The lyric has been edited, too, so that she no longer sings the "k" at the end of "seek."

If you're not familiar with this song and are puzzled as to why the lyric was changed, it's a pun. When you say it out loud (or hear her singing it), it sounds like she's saying "F-U-C-K me."

Aaron, does it sound like they just edited out the K (which I think would sound awkward) or had her re-sing the line for the clean radio edit?

They didn't just mute the "k" sound, but you can clearly hear an edit right before the word "Amy." If it is a re-sing, the only part that's re-sung is just the word "see." But if they were going to bother with a re-sing, why not just have her re-sing the whole line instead of having a choppy edit in the middle of the line?

Well, I'm sure the Britney detractors' answer to your question is that it would have been much harder for Britney to sing 4 words instead of 1. :)
