IM AFRAID OF BRITNEY SPEARS canadian video Much Music (canadian MTV) hit from year 2001 Q/A: is this one of the most extreme great song / terrible video combinations of its decade? A: oh yeah. because the video is soo bad, it goes way beyond simple torture the POWs like it was the 1942 Phillipines. no, its a actual self-administered waterboarding experience, id say. if you forget to put your hands over your eyes for even ten seconds of this thing. the song is a veritable beginner guitarist air-guitar monster, one of the best uses of the generic common four chord E / B / Dbm / A hard rock chord (change), like ever. (its in the key of D, so D / A / Bm / G, and then inverting the sequence of the same chords for the verse) i first heard barely ten seconds of this song (the chorus, only) in the background of a DUDE WHERES MY CAR scene in a movie theater, and waited half an eternity for the music credits to come up and the movies end -- and there it was. and to this day available (on the CD sdtk) in the finer $1 bins or thrift stores nationwide. (our local Rasputins also coughed up a couple copies of the canadian-only FIFTEEN WILL GET YOU TWENTY cd ep in their dollar bins). this band was otherwise sort of a Donnas wannabe-Skid-Row wannabe (second S/Row album that is), wannabe heavy riffs but no hooks to be found anywhere. and packed it in after two albums. their next two singles may also have had lots of TV airplay north of the border. long ago i once asked the Riff Randells (from vancouver/calgary) if they knew anything about these one-tune nebbishes (who were from vancouver also) -- and they sort of laughed hysterically. something about that middle break where it goes all one-chord-type of and we transposed! like six straight times in six straight bars (think like on Blue Cheers summertime blues, except preposterous in the context of the LoRelease song). signed as highschoolers to VC (vancouver) based canadian long running rock nobody Bif Nakeds record label. lesbianism may or may not have been involved, and no one but their moms really cares. jesus what an awful video for a fluky great song i think i have a printout of the lyric in my CD, let me find it and scan it. i believe international laws were passed against bad Donnas-type hard rock-wannabe girl bands not long after this point in time, making it a federal offense in about fifty seven countries. https://youtube/watch?v=X1NUHrYLsws
