Swedes Pay Tribute to Britney Spears

Swedish pop group I'm From Barcelona asks some very simple questions in their new Britney Spears tribute song:

"Why do we care if good old Britney wants to shave her hair?
Why do we care? Well, I've been thinking. You've been thinking too.
They don't know a thing about you.
I'm gonna get a tattoo,
Because girl, I wanna look like you.
Why do we care if good old Britney wants a new tattoo?"

Why do we care? The ensemble's homage to the troubled starlet, appropriately titled 'Britney,' serves as the B-side to their latest single, and it comes just in time for Spears' controversial OK! Magazine cover story.

"Everybody's so upset 'cause Britney shaved her head," frontman Emanuel Lundgren said in a statement. "I think she looked cooler than ever. Punk rock!"

Listen to 'Britney'


The 'Britney' song will be available to download with the 'We're From Barcelona' digital single beginning July 31. The band plays Lollapalooza on August 4.

well; i just gotta say one thing. i am personally not a fan of britney spears anymore. she was a role model for young kids. most of those kids that liked her then don't anymore. they moved on. so yeahh; she is just trying to be a big time star and still be able to do the things regular people do. it's not like she asked for the papparazzi to follow her around everywhere and catch her every move. everyone is going to mess up sometime. but us normal people don't get it caught on tape. and the only reason you think she's pathetic is because she's a movie star on drugs. well i am pretty sure that if you were a movie star you'd do the same thing. it's called peer mother effing pressure. duhh. and one day your going to turn out just like britney. stressed and tired of people bitching at her. so just leave the girl alone. she is just trying to live her life without you hoe'z up her ass twenty four seven. and you all think she's crazy because she shaved her head and got a tattoo; new's flash america. there are millions of people out there with tattoos. just cause she's a star doesn't mean she can't get one. and just cause she shaved her head doesn't mean you can go around and say she's on crack and that she's ugly. it's just hair. it'll grow back. and when it does you'll like her again because you will think she looks pretty. well if you don't like her without her hair then you might as well not like her at all; because that just shows how shallow you people are. and it's a free country; she can shave her head if she wants too. people go out and get shaves all the time. she's no different. and brit; i'm not a fan. and i don't know what your going through; but i can almost imagine when i put myself in your shoes. i wish you the best and i hope everything turns out all right.

Just a thought... Drug usage is recorded in hair as it grows. A reason to shave your head, to get rid of evidence that might work against you in a custody battle??? Crazy like a fox??? And this is not text messaging. Practice spelling English before you forget how. You look ignorant when you don't. Ignorant is just uneducated, not stupid.
