Musical Interlude: Baby One More Time (1998-2024)

 Ex-Mouseketeer Britney Spears exploded onto the pop charts at the end of 1998 with "Baby One More Time", the title song from her debut CD. The video was shot in the same high school that housed the cast of "Grease" 20 years earlier.


In recent days, a few YouTube "geniuses" decided to do comparisons and mash-ups of Britney's original version against or coupled with Tenacious D's cover from the movie. "Kung Fu Panda 4", whose star, Jack Black, is the vocal half of Tenacious D, and hams it up at the premiere with his musical partner, Kyle Gass, and co-stars James Hong, Bryan Cranston, Dustin Hoffman, & Awkwafina, among others.


Two generations of "Baby". Can't go wrong.
