What's yours? and what song would you want to cover if you were a singer?

My favourite cover song is My Generation by Hilary Duff.
And I would want to cover the songs, Wake Up by Hilary Duff and I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte, you?

Schneider TM: The Light 3000

It's a cover of The Smiths 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' and it is fooking stunning. In fact, treble that!

I adore The Clash's cover version of this R&B song, "Every Little Bit Hurts." It appears as a previously unreleased track on the "Clash on Broadway" box set. (y)

Can't believe I forgot Biz Mark's 'Just a Friend' or whatever that one's called.

That's got to be one of the worst covers ever. Mario butchered it, man; all the charm of the original - completely gone.

I remember seeing on BET, where Mario was going through his 25 favourite videos of all-time, and Biz's "Just A Friend" was on there. When Mario was introducing the video, he said something along the lines of "Man, that was, like, one of my favourite videos from, uh, 1985?"

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

It was supposed to be terrible. Kind of like a Weird Al song. You don't expect much other than the fact that you're probably going to laugh along the way.
So Ruff
08-22-2005, 02:34 PM
Well, yeah, I did kinda laugh at Biz's cameo in the video. He was bustin'-a-move in an undersized Wizards jersey if I'm not mistaken.
