i'd like you to name some of your favorite song covers, since i seem to be in this "this song would sound better being sang by another person" phase. well, just lists a few tracks, if you so kindly would, make a few comments here and there.

much love.
 
How about:

Travis' version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time"?
or
Cakes' version of "I Will Survive"?

They stick out for me.
 
Hands f***ing down:

Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) by Erasure

The original Cockney Rebels version is ok, but Steve Harley just kinda mumbles the best line in the song. Christ, what we he thinking?

Lemme find the Erasure version and upload it for you kids (might take a few hours).

Also, the video for the Erasure cover is AMAZING. It has the quality of my best dreams.

love, math+
 
Hm. Probably tons of good ones, but lately I've really liked "I Melt With You" by Nouvelle Vague.
 
Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem!

oasis - hey hey, my my and i am the walrus
muse - can't take my eyes off you
the futureheads - hounds of love
colin meloy (from the decemberists) - jack the ripper
manic street preachers - raindrops keep falling and out of time
 
*Morrissey - That's Entertainment
*Radiohead - Nobody Does It Better
*The Decemberists - Bridges & Balloons
*Jeff Buckley - I Know It's Over
*Kate Bush - Sexual Healing
*Manic Street Preachers - Out Of Time
 
I like Nouvelle Vague's "Just Can't get Enough". The original was great, and there's no point dpoing a 'similar' cover so an acoustic version is just about right.
 
born to run - frankie gth
seasons in the sun - black box recorder
song sung blue- altered images
wuthering heights- china drum
come up n see me- wedding present

Oasis did a fantastic job with Slade's 'Cum On Feel The Noize".
