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.
