This put me in the mind of Richard Thompson’s stellar cover of “oops I did it again…”

I would like to use this opportunity to confess my love of Bowling For Soup’s cover of this:

The pop-punk sounds works perfectly with the lyrics–it totally turns the song into mall-emo. Oh, and it’s energetic and fun.

This song has always been a blank spot to me, I have to confess — always much preferred “Oops! I Did It Again” as a early statement of intent because the bassline was about ten thousand times better. (And oddly enough it too has been given the shaggy indie band workover courtesy of Fuck on some long ago Italian compilation…)

Anyway, makes sense Tori A. would try this at some point. I still think the song she should dig out and redo would be a slow, reflective version of Mott the Hoople’s “I Wish I Was Your Mother” — actually at about the same as this one Ian Hunter did:
