Bellamy Brothers Britney Spears Copyright Infringement Claims

Country crooning duo The Bellamy Brothers have a bone to pick with pop star Britney Spears: They think the singing/dancing sensation ripped off on of their signature songs.

You be the judge. Check out the song samples after the jump!

David Bellamy, who formed the duo with his brother Howard more than 30 years ago, tells TMZ.com that Britney’s recently released dance track “Hold It Against Me” sounds suspiciously like their own 1979 song “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold It Against Me.”

“Howard and I have no personal beef with Britney. She’s a talented gal. But professionally, well, in all honestly, we feel completely ripped off. Where’s the originality?”

The brothers aren’t planning any legal action against The Spears Camp, but they want Britney to know that they’re not happy.

Duly noted, guys.

Meanwhile “Hold It Against Me” — the lead single off Spears’ forthcoming album — is currently No. 1 on iTunes.
