I like that remake of Boyz in The Hood, forget who redid it. It's all slow and stuff, kinda funny.
i like sublime's cover of "gin and juice" by snoop dogg. it's sooo funny.
I like the cover of "I Want You To Want Me" by Letters to Cleo. That's my "jammin' in my car on a sunny day while driving" song.
i also like joss stone. a coworker told me about her and she was just on advanced warning. good for anyone who likes soul. she has a cover cd called soul sessions.
i was waiting for this to appear. she seems nice, she sings good, she has the Roots as a backing band and all, but her rendition of White Stripes "Fell In Love With a Girl" [with girl changed to boy] is hard to listen to if your a White Stripes fan.
Shades Apart: Tainted Love
Less Than Jake: I think I love you
No use for a name: Enjoy the silence
And Pretty much anything Me first and the Gimmie Gimmies does
yeah, me first and the gimme gimmes are a good cover band...they were my introduction to punk way back when
i've yet to hear this love song cover..I love the origional...maybe i should start listening to the radio
i went on launch to play something for my supervisor and this came on after. you can hear it too!
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmie's redid 'Rainbow Connection' great.
I really like The Smashing Pumpkins version of 'Landslide'
And I think Johnny Cash did a great remake of 'Dirt' from NIN. The video just wants to make you cry.
Oh yeah Johnny cash, i forgot that one, it does make me sad....
it's HURT! and that video had it's way with my emotions. mark romanek rules all music videos. to top it off i love the original "hurt" by NIN. amazing.
Hurt, my bad.
Yeah, Reznor is another musical genius, love him.
Is this The Cure's Lovesong we're talking about?
yep that's the one
Great song, in fact Distintegration is one of my favorite albums.
Guess I'll have to download this version.
It's on the 50 First Dates soundtrack.
I like the remake of Come On Eileen by Save Ferris, LOVE monique Powell
also, it's my life by Gwen and the boys
Boys of Summer by the Ataris
oh, boys of summer! yeah, good cover...i like it better then the original
Travis does a cover of "Hit me Baby one more time". So good, gives me an excuse to like the song
was this the punk cover playing in "freaky friday"?
uh, i dont think so. I never saw freaky friday, but its not punk
do you have the version where they are being interviewed before they play the song? it is one of my fav singles.
no I downloaded my version, is it on the "Turn" single? I didnt feel like paying $10 for one song.
What did they say in the interview?
iTunes, $.99 per song.
Or KaZaA for free, but risk a $3000 fine by the RIAA.
I am a sucker for imports, I paid the 10 bucks. Fran talked about how he thought it sounded like Hotel California and he hates that song. The guitarist was like no no just listen. And then some dude heard it and begged them to play it on the radio but they didn't really know the words. They used notecards on the radio so they didn't mess it up. Basically, it was nice to hear their cute accents. They talked for a good bit tho.
ha, cool. is it a live version on the CD?
yep, yours isn't?
no, it is. I probably have the same version with the beggining cut off. Does he say "Oh my god, he he he," in a cool scottish accent at the end?
this is the 2nd single of the man "ewwwwe"...it went to number 13 a coupla weeks aguo...so now we reckon we hafta release another 13 to get to number 1...lucky for some...lucky for us...
their accents KILL me
I LOVE that version!! With the guys in the background going "AND I"...in high-pitched voices...TOO funny!!!
Nobody's Too Cool For Pankcakes by Jimmy Flat Foot & the Silly Billies
vertical horizon's cover of fast car...so awesome
Hotel California - Eagles
i like elwood's cover of "sundown", by gordon lightfoot. actually i just really like gordon lightfoot.
also i like lonestar's cover of "memphis"...wait is this supposed to be just a punk thing??
goldfinger's just like heaven...wait...everyone else is going to say that
how about Wallflowers - I'm Looking Through You (man, paul mccartney knew how to write a song)
I love the cover of Come on Eileen that Save Ferris did.
Like a prayer - I think its by Rufio. Not the one by h2o. That ones ok, but the other one is way better.
hahah that is a good one! i like that
I like the Rondelles cover of Like A Prayer
