The British navy  has recently employed a new secret agent.

Step aside James Bond, Britney Spears is now serving Her Majesty.

British naval officers are starting to play Spears’ hits such as Oops! I Did It Again and Baby One More Time to scare of Somali pirates.

They hope to get “Lucky” using Britney Spears’ “Toxic” music to make all Somali Pirates say “I Wanna Go”. Enough with the song references….

Why Britney? Somali pirates who sail off the east coast of Africa hate western culture, and nothing says “American music” other than Spears’ poppy and dance tunes themselves.

Merchant navy officer Rachel Owens commented on the song selection by saying, “It’s so effective the ship’s security rarely needs to resort to firing guns”.

In other unlikely song partnerships, Barney’s “I Love You” theme song was often heard playing in Guantanamo Bay. It was used to persuade silent prisoners to talk. If that song doesn’t drive you crazy, I don’t know what will. 

We all have our favorite songs to hate. What tunes are on your list?
