I like the idea of the rockabilly Cure, more so the rockabilly cure, all artists should take it...

"Henry Rollins --> No Doubt's "Spiderwebs""

Just trying to imagine this is giving me a splitting headache.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 20 October 2002 21:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Back when Rothko were just three bassists I daydreamed about them doing a reverb-drenched slo-mo cover of Numan's "Cars" with vocals from Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker. I know everyone here probably wants to kill me just for the thought but I'm still not entirely convinced that it was a bad idea, even after I was put off somewhat by To Rococo Rot (another obsession of mine at the time) releasing a dreary cover of it. Anyway, Rothko these days don't sound quite like I imagined it, so even I had to give up on the dream.

― Rebecca (reb), Sunday, 20 October 2002 22:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Today I was listening to Loveless and when "When You Sleep" came on, I couldn't stop imagining Prince singing it. And then I started clapping on the backbeat, and really wanted to dance.

― A.V. Alexandre (Keiko), Sunday, 20 October 2002 23:24 (twenty-three years ago)

But now that I think about it, I'd really like to hear, say, Boys II Men or a similarly-minded vocal R&B group tackle it.

― A.V. Alexandre (Keiko), Sunday, 20 October 2002 23:25 (twenty-three years ago)

No, I think Prince doing it would be wonderful. Mira does a stripped-down, slightly slower version of it that's really wonderful, but your idea is far superior. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 October 2002 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

tful282 => "flight of the bumblebee"

― gygax!, Monday, 21 October 2002 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

hey Rebecca - I was having a very similar thought about covering Gary Numan's "Cars" myself, in the style of which you speak. Using a slide guitar for the descending keyboard bits... mmmm

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 21 October 2002 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

six months pass...

feverish hallucination/dream-due-to-illness spark of inspiration :

todd edwards => pet shop boys, "heart"

(around half of my previous choices on this thread are complete wtf?-esque - I've never heard EL-P, etc!)

(i haven't heard bodily functions or a chance to cut... but you could do an ambient, ultra-subdued body-sampling (well, life-support sampling, anyway) version of new order's "shellshock")

That would be so great!

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 10 May 2003 04:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Foo Fighters/"Fight" and "Crackman" by Scream "Negitive Creep", "All Apologies", "Hairspray Queen"(I can't stand the way Kurt's voice sounds. I want to hear what it sounds like with Dave singing), and "Smells Like Teen Spirit"(I think they already did "...Teen Spirit". I just want to hear it) by Nirvana

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Stop hurting me in my heart.

I would love to hear George Jones do an album of classic soul ballads.

― Burr (Burr), Saturday, 10 May 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

great idea. Jones and Paycheck doing Arthur Alexander's 'You Better Move On' is killer, you can't tell who is singing what.
