Brian McKnight says will never perform his infamous jingle about the female anatomy.

McKnight feels "people aren't very smart" and concert promoters should know that song is only to be played behind closed doors.

"If I learned anything from this experiment, it's that people aren't very smart and they take themselves very seriously," says McKnight. "Even though people have been asking for it during shows, 'If Ur Ready to Learn' is a song that's musically incredible to me, but it should only be used in the bedroom."

While McKnight considers the song a masterpiece, what really has him up in arms is Maryland residents boycotting a festival because he is on the line up.

According to the Baltimore Sun, some believe McKnight should not be performing at Artscape this weekend, an event they say has been and should remain family friendly.

In a letter published last month, Baltimore resident Brad Smith said he would not attend Artscape if McKnight was allowed to perform. "Why in the world anyone would think this man to be an appropriate musical act for a wonderful family event like Artscape is beyond me, but it's clear that it is absolutely irresponsible and unacceptable for Artscape's organizers to retain Brian McKnight's 'talents' in any way," Smith wrote.

Despite the letter and others who agree with Smith, Artscape organizers will allow McKnight to perform. Noting they have been trying to get the Grammy winner on the bill for years, organizers said the price was right this year. As for McKnight, he says there is nothing to gain from this song in terms of relevance or controversy. "People talk about relevance, but do you think I care about relevance?," he says. "I don't have to talk about my stats."

Well, damn. I have not even heard the song, but I was always under the impression it was something of a joke. I have never considered him controversial in the slightest. I would have him at MY festival!

Brian's presentation video tutorial.

Let me show you how your pussy works

Since you didn't bring it to me first

I've got lots of things to show you

If you're ready to learn

Let me show you how your pussy works

Bet you didn't know that it could squirt

I've got lots of things to show you

If you're ready to learn...

It's not for lack of opportunity opportunity that I have not heard the song!

The upside: you're no longer among the uninitiated.

The downside: take your pick.

I like Brian well the OLD Brian.. he LOST ALOT OF POINTS for making that elementary song from me.

Is this what all the fuss is about? The girl in the scene where they are in the bedroom looks like Kim Kardashian.

These people who are talking about a boycott have waaay too much

time on their hand. I agree with Brian's last statement about folks

saying he made the song to be controversial or gain relevance. Word?

Check his track record.

It'll be rainy today and tomorrow in Baltimore, so it'll be hard to tell if there is a boycott because of Brian at Artscape anyway. He's the only recognizable national star at Artscape performing Friday so that may also contribute to low attendance this year. I volunteer every year at this 3-day event and was disappointed since I'm not a fan of his music. The song is tacky, but I'm sure there are women out there who love it just cause he sings it:lol:.
