According to Contactmusic.com, Hilary Duff was so disgusted by “rude” lyrics written for her debut album ‘Metamorphosis’, she insisted on changing them. “My single ‘So Yesterday’ had a line in it that said, ‘Why flip the bird that’s already flown away?’ That’s really rude – it means to stick up your middle finger,” Duff explained. “I couldn’t say that – no way! So we changed it to, ‘I’m just a bird that’s already flown away.’ It’s more PC!”

Wow, she’s so uptight. When I was her age, everyone I knew flipped the bird (just to each other, not to strangers), swore, and acted “rude”– it’s what you do when you’re a teenager– you go through your rebellious stage. Even the religious kids said cuss words somethings. What’s the big deal?
She’s full of crap. What the hell is ‘Why flip the bird that’s already flown away?’ supposed to mean? I think she’s making it up.
What a fake bible clutching skank… She only had to sing about flipping the bird not about blowjobs or ass screwing. She needs to grow up and get over this perfect little girl act.
Hilary is such a sissy..aw poor girl she doesn’t want it to be “rude”…right.
What the heck is PC? Wow, giving the finger?! Next thing you know they’ll start writing lyrics about not taking off your shoes before going into someone’s house! The horror! The horror! I think the new lyrics sound corny…”I’m just a bird that’s already flown away”? Typical pop crap.
Now I’m a fan of Britney’s but that is definitely something she would’ve said when she was 17 – that Hilary girl needs 2 get a grip – does she share the same press agent as Britney?
No duh Sherlock…..like we all don’t know that flipping the bird means “to stick up your middle finger”. Hilary instead of trying to look innocent like some other ho we know of just go to hell you stupid white girl.
I wonder if she got writing credit for changing that tiny part in that song… If she did, WOW THOSE ARE SUCH GREAT LYRICS. *Sarcasm
