Rated it a 10 just to spite the people who can't see the humour and irony in this, not to mention the fact that FoW took pure, unadulterated crap and managed to make it listenable. I managed to bump the rating up by .1, too!

Tried uploading it a long while back and it got a "sorry". Funny, I don't recall being around when this version has been played, only stumbled across it now because of the RP Logo forum thread.

I think its too easy to hate a song because of who you first heard sing it. Its not surprising that alot of folks are pissy over a song on RP that was originally done by Brittany. However, musical history is also full of times when a crappy song is redone by someone else and is suddenly a whole new beast. I always hated MJ's "Billy Jean", but some band did a thrashy cover (can't remember the band) that was actually funny and cool.

OK - been reading the posts. I guess that a lot of RP listeners just have no sense of irony or sense of humor. (I feel the flames licking the seat of my pants about now).. But hey. It took me a few extra seconds to realize what I was listening to.. When I did I nearly fell out of my chair on to the floor laughing. As a musician myself I can appreciate what they were doing. Sometimes you gotta just cut loose and have some fun and poke people in the eye.
Well stated. It had the same effect on me when I heard the first "baby, baby". The tight asses can flame all they want to. I covered this and Prince's "Kiss" with my doom band.

BWAHAHAHA not as good as the UC Berkeley Men's Octet cover, but still. *snicker*

For some reason, I imagine Nine Inch Nails would do much better cover of this song.

Ugh. I like it. I feel bad for liking it. Do I need to go to confession now? Pretty funny

I dunno somehow the way Britney says "oh baby, baby" is better.

Right. The point is that it is a dumb song. I would like to hear the Travis version every body is talking about. In the same vein Richard Cheese does a cover of Crazy for all of those who think silly covers of silly songs are funny. :)

How low should the rating of a sickening song get before they chuck it off the station...? A guess a 3.5 is low enough...Bill-o-Man, thy hear my echo?

It must be a latent death wish, for I would kill anyone singing this near me...

This song is one of the worst I\'ve heard so far. It comes very close to all the sucko-barfo whining pussy R&B that comes from a generation which is in desperate need of a few cruel wars. Let me hit you.

Having suffered through my then 6 year old daughter\'s interest in BS I find a special place in my heart for this version. I think a really good alternative to the chorus should be \"change the baby one more time\"

What next, Aguilera picking on Eminem? I guess it wouldn\'t be so bad if it was about half as long.

the joke is funny. the song is terrible. there\'s tons of good FoW. let\'s hear it!

Take a bad song and make it worse day here at Radio Paradies . com... ;) :D Oh wait.. this is what _IT_ the Britany thing sounds like when you slow it down to normal speed... AHHHh... I understand this.. eeeeekkkk !!! Ok.. maybe not that bad.. I'd rather take a chance on that one someone below said they might find.. a Travis version of it? ... if all versions of the song s**k well then... it'll be proof its not just the britany... ;) but personally I think it is just her/it/thing... :)
Posted 22 years ago by TreborG2    [ Reply ]
NoooooO! And not because of the song, but because it\'s the wrong version! I\'ll try to find and upload the Travis cover of this, it is so groovy and better than any other version.... Anything that makes fun of this hack, though, is OK by me.

except I think it was Britney Spears that did it.... ;)

The cover is funny, but the song is still kinda lame. I like the cover of \"Like A Prayer\" better.
