Interesting Covers takes a trip into the surreal by looking at Britney Spears “classic” Oops – I Did It Again.  I realize I may face some mocking over this one, but one must take a chance now and then and reach for a straw?   Remember, this song is used by the US Navy to drive off pirates near Somalia.

The song itself was released on her second album in 2000 and written by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub.  It reached number 9 on Billboard and was nominated for a Grammy as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.  While there is little debate that she can sing, I am just not a big fan of the style of music.  I do however, love to see what other people have done with the song.

Let’s begin with a version by Richard Thompson.  he chose to do it in a medieval style and even renamed it as “Marry, Ageyn Hic Hev Donne Yt”.

This version is rather disturbing.  The Children of Bodom a Finnish death metal bands version.

And a final cover, a big band swing version by Max Raabe & Palast Orchester.
