Oh, Britney...

This is just evil, I know it... but the only way to get a catchy song out of your head is to pass it on to someone else... and it's not just catchy enough as it is... and it's not bad enough that it's played every fifteen minutes...

if you or your kids listen to pop radio, you ought to hear this Britney Spears song before too long - within an hour, max.  It's official title, I believe, is "Three," but you'd know it as "(One, Two,) Three."   For those of you who might otherwise miss out on this cultural achievement, I hope this link will get you an idea:

It's vapid, of course, but pay no attention to the words - at least, not those words.  If you want it really stuck in your head, try these:


One, two, three,
you should be over my knee.
Then we'll see
how good you can be...

Quick as one, two, three
you'll be saying sor-ry!
Betting all on mercy,
Pretty soon we'll start... Uh! Countin'....


One, two...
One, one, one, one, two, three...
Countin' one, two...
Countin' one, one, two, three...


If it takes all night
That'll be okay.
We'll set you right
What did you say?


Elbows on the floor
Can't run away
Nice 'n' red 'n' sore
What did you say?


Are you list'nin'?
Your bottom could be in for a blist'rin'...
Are you list'nin'?
Or do I start counting?


one, two, three,
you don't listen to me...
but we'll see
when you're over my knee

Countin' one, two, three
now you say you're sor-ry!
Betting all on mercy,
Pretty soon we'll start... Uh! Countin'....


Do we need the belt?
To me it's all the same
It's the hand you dealt
Still like your game?


Playful little scheme
Earns you just the same
Hot in the extreme
Still like your game?


Are you list'nin'?
Your bottom could be in for a blist'rin'...
Are you list'nin'?
Or do I start counting?


One, two, three,
you should be over my knee.
Then we'll see
how good you can be...

Countin' one, two, three
now you say you're sor-ry!
Betting all on mercy,
Pretty soon we'll start... Uh! Countin'....


Don't you act all innocent,
"Just for fun and nothing meant."
If not just one trip over my knee,
We can still try two or three (two or three...).
two or three (two or three...),

Or three (Or three... or three...),
Or four , maybe more...

One, two, three,
you should be over my knee.
Then we'll see
how good you can be...

Countin' one, two, three
now you say you're sor-ry!
Betting all on mercy,
Pretty soon we'll start... Uh! Countin'....



 
Oh - and if you want to get it out of your head - pass it on.  (along with jokes about how high Britney can count, and the suggestion that she should have been on Sesame Street instead of The Mickey Mouse Club).
