Britney week continues at supermasterpiece.com…
“‘Oops! I Did It Again’ was recorded in April, 1932 in a Chicago studio, most likely Nearlie’s or West and Fourth … The song remained all-but-forgotten until sixty years later when a young Britney Spears sent her interpretation of the Armstrong tune all the way to the top of the charts.”

Yes, it’a another joke, people.
But you know what’s not a joke? Apparently Brit Brit and Stereogum were in the same Destin, Florida resort last weekend!
Can’t you believe that shit? I’m devastated. I should’ve followed the trail of Cheetos on the beach.

it’s a joke, isn’t it? a very good one, but it so had me for a teeny tiny second.
def a joke. that voice is a weak impersonation of mr. armstrong. sounds like yoda.
Oh. My. God. My world is shattered. Well … not really.
Yeah wasn’t so sure at first either but at the bottom of the page it says- Vocals : Chek Baker.
Haha. supermasterpiece rocks.
when i was in Destin last xmas (don’t ask), i was taken to see what is believed to be a giant house Britney is having built there. they don’t call it the Redneck Riviera for nothing, i guess.
Amazing how a “weak impersonation” (Kevin, I agree) could sound so much more listenable than her schlock . . .
BRILLIANT!
Oh. My. God. That is incredible. The site also features a pretty funny “Bissel Rap” (an example of the Hebrew hip-hop nation).
Oh my god it sounds like whomever did the Louis Armstrong recording was burping the entire song, funny, very.
What all did you do while in Destin, Stereogum? (I live in Destin)
The guy doing the Louis Armstrong imitation sounds more Grover than Louis.
These guys could have saved themselves a lot of time: Max Raabe und das Palastorchester have done an amazing cover of “Oops…” that sounds like it was ripped off a 1920′s dance 78 (gave Tom Jones “Sexbomb” the same treatment). Very “Megaphone singers” sketch from Mr. Show.
Of course, it’s fairly new I guess, and I haven’t been in the States in a while, perhaps this version has caught on already. Mostly in gay clubs, I’d suspect. http://www.palastorchester.de
fooled me good…jack thinks i’m a moron now.
While I’m waiting for that to load, let me tell you that your afterthought of following the Cheetos to the beach made me snort Coke out of my nose – yes, I “snorted” the wrong way, har har – and now it hurts a lot.
Ow.
But then so does Britney.
You guys are the 26782 best, thanks so much for the help.
