"britney spears"

Ever heard Richard Thompson singing Brtiney's "Oops I did it again"? A good song is a good song, and the whole thing is subjective anyway. I liked the original too.

As for the intent of the writer, who cares? What we take from songs invariably has sod all to do with what the writers were thinking about when they penned them anyway. If they wrote a song to make a few quid and it's a good song, so what?
