Lyrics
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, oh

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

"All aboard"
"Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have"
"Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this?"
"Yeah, yes it is"
"But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end"
"Well baby, I went down and got it for you"
"Aww, you shouldn't have"

Oops, I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops, you think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Aparently the song was involved in a little bit of an internet hubub when a couple guys thought it'd be funny to record it in a "louis Armstrong' voice They posted it with a fake byline about how it OIDIA was originally recorded by Louis.

Oops I Did It Again:
The Original

“Oops! I Did It Again” was recorded in April, 1932 in a Chicago studio, most likely Nearlie’s or West and Forth. Cut for the Decca label by Louis Armstrong and elements of Zilner Randolph’s touring group, “Oops!” failed to make the chart impact of “All of Me,” another side recorded in the same session, and soon fell out of print.

The song remained all-but-forgotten until sixty years later when a young Britney Spears sent her interpretation of the Armstrong tune all the way to the top of the charts.

Of course, as things often do, it spread quickly on the Internet, leading to the creators making it clear that it was just a harmless activity they thought would be funny....

Dear Consumer-

As you may know, Supermasterpiece created somewhat of an Internet Sensation a week or two ago, when we posted this song.

Basically, we thought it would be funny to do a version of the Britney Spears classic "Oops! I Did It Again" and claim it had originally been recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1932. Supermasterpiece regular Shek Baker does a pretty funny Louis Armstrong impersonation, and our friend Kurt blows a mean trumpet in the Satchmo style. We had one of our interns play a simple midi- accompaniment, then we recorded everything using a computer. We made it sound kind of tinny like an old record, and added a track of needle-in-groove ambiance for extra comic authenticity. We whipped up a hilarious fake album cover, and wrote a fake pretentious jazz explanation. When we were done, we posted it on our humble website.

PLEASE NOTE: The names of the Supermasterpiece employees involved are clearly displayed on the page... we were never trying to fool anyone. We just thought Shek sounded funny when he sang the word "oops" in a Louis Armstrong voice.

The next day, Supermasterpiece received a whopping (for us)17,000 visitors. The day after we received almost 60,000 visitors, as more websites picked up on the story.

Many people got the joke, for which we are eternally grateful. Unfortunately, most did not (and notice how carmen_rulz was well aware that Louis Armstrong had originally recorded the track), despite the fact that we (once again) CLEARLY LISTED OUR NAMES AS PERFORMERS ON THE PAGE. Also, as I have since learned, the song is too long to be a side of a 78, wax cylinders were no longer used in 1932, and Shek apparently sounds more like Yoda or Cookie Monster than Louis Armstrong. Plus, a very helpful commenter on the metafilter site has stated that someone would have to be "brain dead" to play the piano like that.

Brain dead. That hurts, anonymous commenter. That really hurts. How does it feel to have made an intern cry?

Well, I can tell you from experience... it's gets easier each time. Thanks to each and every one of you for checking out the site, and enjoy washed up celebrities week.

Sincerely,

Chris Messick
Chief Executive Officer
Supermasterpiece Industries

Interesting, it was also covered by Max Raabe. The sound and lyrics must be well suited to old-timefication.

Exactly why I do not read negative comments (but a few) like a cancer that hurts nothing good comes of it - even if you reply with your opinion nothing good comes of it - anger vs rationalization or point of view like oil and water.

Positive and neutral comments on YT:

Very very very BIG LIKE!!! Awesome jazz cover! Britney is the best!

I always wondered what happened to Haley

One of my favorite new young singers.

PERFECT voice, PERFECT articulation, PERFECT everything

Please make more videos with Haley Reinhart! I love her style and Im in love with her voice!!!!!

Haley's a better singer than Marilyn Monroe and Britney Spears put together.

I love u! A true work of art, u really use every part of ur voice. Thank u for bringing back tasteful music.

I've watched this at least 10 times already and I am still impressed. Haley's gritty timbre is so incredible. I can't wait to hear more from her!!

I love the part where she sings 'crush' , the hand movements and the run is just perfect!

CHILLS.
DAMN.

Subscribed bcoz of haley.. perfect voice love it!

Guys, I love you all. But Haley is deep in my heart.

Oops!... I think I'm actually in love after seeing this

Wow! Her voice is awesome, so unique!

This artist has an AMAZING vocal range! Check her out!

They dumped all over her style on american idol. She couldn't be herself. It was way too constraining for her, and not a remotely accurate depiction or judgement of how talented she is. She just doesn't fit into cookie-cutter styles and looks. She's amazing!!!!

Thank God she did it again. GO HALEY!!!

HALEY IS MY PMJ QUEEN

She.. Is... Amazing.

Well, I tried to hide till this time, but I can't hold it anymore.
I got a crush on this beauty....

I love her voice seriously... Wow!

Some people can hardly wait to tear down what she creates.Some people don't love, they just love to hate.

This is what you get if Marilyn Monroe sang 'Oops!...I Did it Again'
When you think Marilyn Monroe, you probably think Hollywood icon. Monroe was a force to be reckoned with back in her day and was the epitome of Hollywood glitz and glam.

To this day, people still refer to the Hollywood legend and tribute her as often as possible. In the latest rendition, singing group Postmodern Jukebox covered Britney Spears' "Oops!...I Did it Again" which sounded eerily like Monroe. Performing the jazzy rendition is "American Idol" alum Haley Reinhart.

This is what it would sound like if Marilyn Monroe sang Britney Spears' "Oops!… I Did It Again

...Covers can be hit or miss; sometimes it’s better not to mess with a hit. But Reinhart and Postmodern Jukebox totally nails it, from start to finish. This is definitive proof they can do no wrong! http://hellogiggles.com/marilyn-monroe-covered-britney/
