Rebirth of the Cool: …Baby, One More Time

 

It’s been too long since we’ve had a Rebirth post, but I’m sure some of you have taken a look at the title and are already wincing in anticipation of this one. Let’s get the difficult part out of the way now.

 

 

I know, I know… Back in the early 2000s, while I was accumulating a collection of “Ring of Fire” covers, my boyfriend at the time, in his perverse nature, took to collecting “…Baby, One More Time” covers.

Hey, we’ve all made bad choices in partners, okay?

But there was one stand-out gem in this perplexing collection, that being the complete piss-take version by Mr. Bungle.

 

 

Speaking of perverse, I found this version by Frank’s progeny, Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa, over at Cover Me and actually find it… kind of… sexy… (This may have something to do with the fact that I wore out Dweezil’s My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama album when I was a teenager.)

 

 

Thus concludes this episode of Unfortunate Confession Theater.
