Groundscore: Oops!... I Did It Again
Groundscore does it again!
As a teen in the late 90s, there was no way to avoid the nu-bubblegum pop fad. Xtina, Backstreet Boys, Mandy Moore, *NSYNC... you know the names. And foremost among them was Britney Spears.
While Groundscore was a pop punk band, I didn't have many punk music influences at the time. I was more into classic rock and funk music. To me, punk was just slightly better than most top 40 radio.
At some point, I became fixated with the idea of covering "Oops!... I Did It Again." I guess I found the idea of a guy in a punk band singing the same words as a seductive pop diva pretty hilarious. And I still do.
Zach and I both sing this one (I'm the one that's really quiet in the mix). Conrad's on drums, Zach's on guitar, and I'm on bass.
Next week In 2.5 months, I share Conrad's tribute to his sister titled "Pigface."
I just did some quick research while I was posting this song on Facebook... the music video didn't come out until April 2000... I don't remember the exact month that we recorded the Groundscore songs, but it couldn't have been much later than that (considering Conrad and I went to college a few months later)! WE GOT IN ON THIS ONE EARLY!!! 🙂
