Speechless. Truly.
Unfortunately, FOW's cover of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" does not appear to be on YouTube. Go figure.

Yeah, the song becomes a lot more creepy sung by a 57-year-old man.
He's been playing it for a couple of years now.
One of the contestants on (please forgive me, but it was late summer and there was nothing else on) Rock Star:INXS also did a dark, creepy cover of it that was pretty good. Made me actually listen to the lyrics.
That's actually been on my iPod for ages -- forget who sent it to me.
In any case, can we finally just admit that Thompson is the Greatest Living Englishman already?
I had heard OF this. Thanks to you Mary, I have now actually heard it.
He so rocks.

Taken from the 2006 DVD+CD release "1000 Years of Popular Music," which also includes covers of See My Friends, Friday On My Mind, and Tempted, for what it's worth.
