Watch Britney Spears, "I Love Rock N' Roll" Music Video

In a sharp contrast to THOSE pictures of Britney, let's remind ourselves of how she used to be……………

In what I personally think is one of her most under-rated videos, "I Love Rock 'N Roll".

Originally written in 1975 by Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker of The Arrows, and not by Joan Jett, which is a common misconception.

"I Love Rock 'N Roll" was ONLY discovered by Joan Jett, who saw The Arrows perform it on a TV show when she was touring England with The Runaways. She first recorded it in 1979 with two of the Sex Pistols, Steve Jones and Paul Cook. This first version was not a hit.

However not to be beaten, Jett re-recorded the song, this time with her band, the Blackhearts, way back in 1982. This version of the classic is the one we know and love. Hitting the top of the charts, and was U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one single for seven weeks.

Britney Spears' version of, "I Love Rock 'N Roll" was used in her 2002 movie Crossroads, where she performs it in a karaoke bar.

The music video is directed by Chris Applebaum, and features Spears in a tight-fitting leather getup. She crawls along on the floor, and plays air guitar before smashing the speakers with a real guitar. Britney Spears also writhes about on a rotating motorcycle while being showered with confetti.

Go on, you know you want to………
