hey Sasha - theres a bark psychosis version of '3 girl rhumba' which is pretty odd.. haven't heard this mainstream one yet though..

but....on the back of Bleach it says Kurdt

― Dude (The Yellow Dart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 05:16 (twenty-two years ago)

did nobody remember that Chicks on Speed covered that Delta 5 song?

i think a sports punk band covering, say, "television addict" by the victims could be a huge hit..

Haven't seen it posted yet, but have your psuedo-wet indie band cover Berlin's The Metro.

Not that it can't be done again, but the bizarro SF band I Am Spoonbender already did that, though they renamed it "Where Do Words Go?"

The Rasmus - 'Da Da Da'

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 07:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Maroon 5 "Can't be Funky"

Some girl trio in the Atomic Kitten vein: "The Orchids" by Psychic TV, followed up by Strawberry Switchblade's "10 James Orr Street".

Dammit, given away my plans for world domination now.

― OleM (OleM), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

"Echos Myron"!

― Simon H., Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I was debating that or "I am a Scientist"

This thread reminds me of my idea to start a pre-fab indie group that would do half covers. Like the band sof yesteryear would do. I AM THIS GENERATIONS MALCOM MCLAREN.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Linkin Park - "Bela Lugosi's Dead"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Fountains of Wayne - "Calling All Girls"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 6 April 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd be very happy if either Busted or McFly decided that the thing to do would be to cover both sides of the "The Sun Shines Here" / "I'll Be Your Surprise" 7" by Hurrah!

#1 guaranteed. I guarantee it. And I can, you know.

jc chasez - "if i was your girlfriend"

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)

TLC did beat him to it, although I guess that it has been a good 10 years now. hmmm... I'd like to hear it. Or he could maybe do "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man".

― Broheems (diamond), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the only thing that could endear JC Chasez to me is if he covered "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh this is fucking ridiculous. It's a rule that EVERY hip MTV-ready indie breakout must do "outdoor miner" by Wire. D-U-FUCKING-H!

eleven months pass...

"Peekaboo" for Gwen.

And somebody's gotta do the Violent Femmes' "Add It Up."

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Friday, 25 March 2005 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

As I don't still don't know how they didn't dominate the charts worldwide (even despite Patrick Fitzgerald being openly homosexual), someone could easily hit #1 with one of their songs...from "Come on Now" (some modern-rock band like Puddle of Mudd could cover it, not that I'd want to hear the abomination) to "The 1001st Fault" (which would be so great for an emo group).

― What we want? Sex with T.V. stars! What you want? Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Ma, Friday, 25 March 2005 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

^"their" being Kitchens of Distinction, of course

― What we want? Sex with T.V. stars! What you want? Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Ma, Friday, 25 March 2005 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, maybe not #1, but could definitely go Top 40.

― What we want? Sex with T.V. stars! What you want? Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Ma, Friday, 25 March 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Some R&B queen should do a cover of ESG's "Moody", too.

Franz Ferdinand's cover of ABC's "Poison Arrow" was #1 for 16 weeks in the fall/winter of 2005.

I still can't figure out when Gwen Stefani hasn't covered "Walking in L.A."

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Friday, 25 March 2005 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a great, broken, Motels song called "Counting" that I'd love to hear someone revamp.

― Lyra Jane (Lyra Jane), Friday, 25 March 2005 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Touché.

* Mandy Moore, The Raincoats' "No One's Little Girl."
* Any almost-played-out mall-punk band, TVPs' "Part Time Punks."
* Fiona Apple, Throwing Muses' "Hate My Way."

― mike a, Friday, 25 March 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Now that's genius.

― What we want? Sex with T.V. stars! What you want? Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Ma, Friday, 25 March 2005 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

"No One's Little Girl" is ripe for a smooth R&B retranslation - I can fully get on board with that.
