On November 24th, Britney Spear's latest musical experiment The Single's Collection will be released.
It should be noted that this is NOT a collection of her old singles, but rather, the lyrical musings of a single mother.
The first single to be released is "Three", a touching song about feeling pulled in three different ways by the needs of young children, the demands of the workplace, and trying to carve out the time required to maintain relationships with friends to keep from losing your sense of self. It is sure to become the anthem of single parents worldwide.
Take a listen for yourself:
The lyrics, in case you missed the wisdom verbally:
1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
Countin'
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?
Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?
Are - you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing (yeah)
Are - you in
I am countin'!
1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
Countin'
Three is a charm
Two is not the same
I don't see the harm
So are you game?
Lets' make a team
Make 'em say my name
Lovin' the extreme
Now are you game?
Are - you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing
Are - you in
I am countin'!
1, 2, 3
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin'
1, 2, 3
Peter, Paul & Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves ***
What we do is innocent
Just for fun and nothin' meant
If you don't like the company
Let's just do it you and me
You and me...
Or three....
Or four....
- On the floor!
Does she have anywhere on there a song about making wise decisions in marrying?
Getting down with 3 P? Does she mean "Pee-pull"?
This sounds more like a song about a threesome than it does about being a single mother. I considered listening to it, but didn't feel like having my ears bleed today.
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Pretty much why the concept of a threesome has never appealed to me.
