ok, so since that book post went so swimmingly (and it did, i'm not being sarcastic, i'm going to go out and get several of the recommendations as soon as i can), i am going to ask for your help again. this time it's a little more specific and i don't expect all of you to contribute. but if you can, i hope you do. so what i am asking for this

Dude, this is my thing lately.
Go here:
www.coverville.com

Nina Gordon - Straight outta compton
The Gourds - Gin & Juice
Jonathon Coultron - Baby Got Back
Shannon Lawson - Let's get it on
Kieran Goss - Underneath your clothes
Grayson & Wonfor - The Boxer
The Sundays - Wild Horses

That's all I can think of now or have in front of me. I have a list of all my covers at work, which I can get to tomorrow. If you have a genre in mind, let me know. I have lots and lots and plan on getting more shortly.

Tori Amos and/or Jack Off Jill - Love Song

I will have more for you tomorrow when I return to my regularly scheduled mp3 collection.

[ketchonade]

Muse - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
Cat Power - Wild Is The Wind
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah
Prince - Nothing Compares 2 U
Rasputina - You Don't Own Me

I've got all of them on my computer. I don't know how'd I get them to you (AIM) but you can have em.

[scaracetera]

heck, i could just download them myself if necessary, but thanks for offering! i'll start sampling these and see what i'm going to need.

I think that the prince version is the original. Twas Sinead who redid it.

To add more songs:
3 is a magic number - Blind Melon
King of Pain - Alannis Morrisette
Boyz N the Hood - Dynamite Hack
Never Tear Us Apart - Tom Jones and Natalie Imbruglia

[jeanie3]

Awwww, I immediately thought of Boyz N the Hood - Dynamite Hack! WAY TO STEAL MY #1 ANSWER!

Aside from that, I'm sure that you've probably got some Me First & the Gimme Gimmes song on your list already, but they have several CDs full of wonderful covers...

Also:
It's My Life - No Doubt

I may think of more later, too...?

Vanilla Ice - Too Cold.
This is a weird one. Vanilla Ice covering his OWN song from the 80s. I put it here merely for its weirdness value.

Now, my faves:
Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Brown Derbies - Carry On My Wayward Son (acapella -- amazing!)
Richard Cheese - Creep (lounge Radiohead?! I mean, awesome)
HIM - Wicked Game
Rage Against The Machine - Another Brick in the Wall
Reel Big Fish - Hungry Like The Wolf (HI-larious)

And, lastly, best cover ever:
Hayseed Dixie - Fat Bottom Girls
