"'Fucking Boyfriend'" ('F**king Boyfriend' for radio and during its chart run) is the name of a song by American duo The Bird and the Bee. The single, which topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in December 2006, is featured on the acts' 2006 EP 'Again and Again and Again and Again' and their 2007 full-length CD 'The Bird and the Bee'. The EP version was remixed by Canadian Electronica artist/DJ Peaches, while the CD Maxi releases were remixed by Ralphi Rosario & Jody den Broeder.
Reviewer Jon Young of 'Mother Jones' cited "Fucking Boyfriend" as an example of how The Bird and the Bee "have something more subversive in mind, slipping corrosive thoughts inside their sugary confections".Jon Young, [https://web.archive.org/web/20141011214746/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1192485661.html Review of 'The Bird and the Bee'], 'Mother Jones', January 1, 2007 . Margaret Coble of 'Curve' called it "a snappy, bouncy dance floor ditty that takes on that angsty crush feeling all lovers' hearts can identify with."Margaret Coble, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180917185617/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-167981091.html "New sounds for spring: shake your thang to Brazilian beats or chill out to acid jazz"], 'Curve', March 1, 2007 .
"Fucking Boyfriend" reached number one on the Hot Dance Club Play, and marks the first time ever that a single on said chart with an explicit word in its title. Because of that word, radio stations only played the edited version of the song in their club mix shows and received limited airplay at dance radio, and during its run at Dance Club Songs, the title was censored to read F**king Boyfriend out of concern from its readers.
