Richard Thompson plays Britney Spears
Normally don't post links to music as I think it's a tad self-indulgent and presumptuous, but here is Richard Thompson taking apart Britney's Oops, I Did It Again, along with nods to its 16th century origins.
Sort of.

I agree. Only a tad. I don't mind really, but some days links seems to be nothing but music vids.

Saw him perform this at Cropredy a few years back...
...an electric version - darker and more 'edgy' i.m.h.o.
Pissing down with rain, thunder and lightning, I couldn't care less.
Richard Thompson totally rocks!

Self-indulgent, presumptuous and too clever by 'arf. I likes it.

Cheers, I've not seen this video and am a big Thompson fan, this is from the 1000 years of popular music:
"The idea for the project came from Playboy Magazine. Richard was asked to submit a list, in late 1999, of the ten greatest songs of the Millenium. He called their bluff and submitted a genuine thousand-year selection. That they failed to print his list among others submitted by rock's luminaries did not deter, but instead spurred Thompson to develop and present an evocative, entertaining repertoire."
