Ladytron - Oops Oh My

Back in the bad old pre-internet days, your favorite band would put out a new, exclusive track on a compilation, and you'd have to buy the whole album just to get the one song. Then of course you'd have to get all those compilations and get the one or two good songs off them and make a mix tape (or later on, CD-r).

Thank god those days are gone, otherwise there's every chance I would have missed out on this amazing track from Ladytron. I like Ladytron just fine but I wouldn't shell out for a whole compilation just to get one track by them.

This is a cover of an R&B song that I'd never heard because I haven't really liked anything remotely rap or R&B since 1992. Thanks to YouTube (there's that darn internet again, making life cool for nerdy obsessives) I just saw the original. It stinks, but check it out for a minute so you can see what amazingess has been borne out of its ashes, phoenix-style.

Here's the Ladytron version:
