jc chasez - "if i was your girlfriend"

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".

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"

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!

"Peekaboo" for Gwen.

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

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).

^"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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 think Britney's got the right voice to handle Bad Brain's - i Against i -

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Why, rather.

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 (nineteen years ago) link

* 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."

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh. My. God. I was just about to say Fountains Of Wayne "Calling All Girls" but someone beat me to it, last year. It really is kind of obvious, and I have no idea what's stopping them.

― dlp9001, Friday, 25 March 2005 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Must say that "Hounds of Love" wouldn't be my first choice.
