The Britney Spears songs "Oops! I Did It Again" and "Baby One More Time" are used to scare away Somali pirates who might otherwise be tempted to attack merchant navy ships off Africa's east coast, British Royal Navy officer Rachel Owens told Metro. "Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most," Owens said. "These guys can't stand Western culture or music, making Britney's hits perfect." Owens, who regularly guides huge tankers through the waters, said the ship's speakers can be aimed directly at the pirates to avoid disturbing a ship's crew.
