Sequel to "Have You Seen Michael Hunt?" - "Desperately Seeking Amy"
Quote:
I like it!! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4J8KJZ6FI don't know why people were shocked that Britney would do a music video like that. After all, she had previously entertained us with Have You Seen Michael Hunt?, in which she rides around town with Paris Hilton and "carelessly" gets out of their car. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghsuk6GiEN8"></a> In today's fast-changing world - in which, all too soon, they find themselves obsolete - most people have no choice but to desperately seek MONEY. Nonetheless, there has always been a storyline about how being secure and affluent is really a shallow comfort, and the real fun is to be had by those who live wanton and penniless lives, seemingly never short of the ability to leach off the labor and property of others to sustain their endless joyride. <img src="http://blog.envishoes.com/root/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/desperatelyseekingsusan1.jpg"> A quarter century ago, the film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089017/"><i>Desperately Seeking Susan</i></a> built a wacky existential mystery adventure around this theme and catapulted Madonna into the public consciousness forever. Arguably, there is a feminist subtext to the film, in that the affluent character, an unfulfilled housewife played by Rosanna Arquette, is a young, childless, socially disengaged woman who seems to do little to make herself of utility to her financially successful husband - or anyone else. Was she the first "Desperate Housewife"? Madonna portrays the free-spirited, penniless - and equally useless - drifter who dwells in the exciting underground bohemian New Wave scene of mid-1980s New York City. Her life is dripping with adventure, mystery, and romantic sex - the things of which the first character's life seems devoid. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PyV9m9C5P4o?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I just learned from the film's <i>Wikipedia</i> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperately_Seeking_Susan">article</a> that in 2007 it inspired a very-short-lived musical play in London, featuring songs and lyrics by Alizée's <a href="http://a-store.myshopify.com/products/doctor-a-t-shirt-unisex">lately-romanticized</a> celebrity, Debbie Harry, and <i>Blondie</i>. The video for <i>If U Seek Amy</i> (note that <i>Amy</i> means <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy"><i>beloved</i></a>) seems to owe something to this film. That is because, in the generation since <i>Desperately Seeking Susan</i>, the Britney character ("Amy"?) seems to have combined the "best" of BOTH the worlds we saw in the movie - the wanton orgies for her nights and the safe, comfortable existence for her days. <hr align="center" width="50%" size="2" color="black"> Postscript: In the essay If You Seek Amy's Ancestors, editor-at-large of the Oxford English Dictionary Jesse Sheidlower wrote this:<blockquote><i>The trope of spelling out fuck with the words if you see Kay has been frequently explored by musicians... James Joyce... used the "If you see kay" gag in Ulysses... Joyce manages to encode cunt as well... William Shakespeare used a similar trick. In Twelfth Night... Malvolio says "These be her very C's, her U's and her T's and thus makes she her great P's." With the and sounding like N, Shakespeare not only spells out cunt, but gets pee in there as well.</i></blockquote>I keep telling you guys: English is a dirty language! Speak FRENCH.

Well if she's really asking with who, I know it's a pipe dream, but I'd have to suggest MF and LB. I'm sure it could never happen, but you'll never get the impossible if you don't ask for it.
It's not encouraging if she's asking her fans for help. I've said it before that she needs a good manager and if she had one, she wouldn't be asking these questions? |
