It seems that not everybody is aware of the Travis version of 'Baby one more time'. Their (live) version (which is the version Billy sang) can be downloaded here.
And here are the chords for the guitar if you feel like trying it yourself.
ahh, thank you so much. been wanting to listen to their version for a while now (i love, love, love travis). billy and travis both succeed at me liking the song, although.. the high parts in travis' version just crack me up.
Oh, I would have loved to come too of course! But since it was so completely out of the question, I wasn't even jealous of those who were able to come. I loved the occasional entry and the phoneposts during the meet up and all the reports and pics that are coming in now are great!
it's funny, I downloaded the travis one, along with a weezer one and incubus one last night, and the weezer and travis were the same. I was wondering which was mislabled.
as a matter of fact (according to the listing on winmx) everyone and their brother has done a cover of this song! I think I even found my ma on there ;)
Maeve I'm really just here to thank you for the vid of billeh on so. Got it from tina's lj, but i wanted to thank the source!
Yeah, I agree, but it was more a way of putting it. When it was known Billy was going to sing 'Baby one more time', most people (including me) had Britney in their heads; I for one practically saw Billy singing the song wearing a schoolgirl skirt ;p
Now Billy didn't 'cover' the Travis 'version', but it's quite obvious he sang the song the same way they did, even using the same chords on the guitar.
True, I'm not familiar enough with either version to be talking about it, really.
I just think sometimes a person doesn't get enough credit for doing what s/he does with a song--he may not be doing anyone's version, at least consciously--just singing it the way he wants to.
Thank you so much for the guitar chords!! A young lady I am courting has just started playing the guitar, and she'll love them (and me for giving them to her)

I mean, unless someone changed it from metal to jazz, or something, and you did it exactly the same.
