Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me”… funny

Ok, so I just listened to the “leaked” “demo” version of Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me”, and I actually listened with an open mind. I am not a fan of hers or her antics, so listening without bias was difficult.

When she got to the chorus:

If I feel my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?

I realized that someone has been taking 70’s pickup lines and writing songs from them. “If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?” Remember that type of line? When listening to this, I was laughing. I could imagine a whole album done by a greasy 70s disco guy with these type of lines. “Did it hurt?” “What?” “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” Sounds a bit country… LOL

Like I said, I tried to listen without bias. It bored me. Yeah, I know my stuff isn’t filling the dance floors, either, but I don’t have millions of dollars and thousands of people helping me out! 

Anyway, if you want to check out the “demo” leaked version, here it is:

Lyrics:

Hey over there
Please forgive me
If I’m coming on too strong
Hate to stare
But you’re winning
And they’re playing my favorite song
So come in little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear, little question
Wanna know just how you feel
If I feel my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Hey you might think
That I’m crazy
But I think you’re just my type
I might be little hazy
But you just cannot deny
There’s a spark in between us
When we’re dancin’ on the floor
I want more, wanna see it
So I’m askin’ you tonight
If I say my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Give me something good
Don’t want to wait, I want it now
And show me how you work it out

UPDATE:

It appears that people are saying that Britney stole the hook from an old Bellamy Brother’s song, “If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me”. I am not sure if this would hold up in court, like saying someone stole the words “I love you” from a song. I am certainly NOT defending her, but this is a bit… far-fetched.
