The third single off of Britney Spears’ platinum-selling Circus LP is facing a ban from North American radio over its controversial lyrics.

Radio stations across the United States have deemed the track “If U Seek Amy” too offense to broadcast due to its chorus “all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to, If U Seek Amy”, the last four words of which sound like “Fuck Me” when sung quickly.

An Australian mother’s group recently slammed the song as “horrifying” and “objectionable.”

“It’s OK to put in on an album, have fun with it, but we’re publicly owned, you know?” Patti Marshall of Cincinnati’s Q102 said in an interview with MTV Monday.

“We have a responsibility to the public, you put this… out and act like we’re all fuddy-duddies, like we’re trying to make moral judgments.”

She added, “It’s not about us. It’s about the mom in the minivan with her eight-year-old.”
