    Default Covers you'd like to hear...

    We had threads on bad cover songs, but how 'bout some requests?
    I'd love to hear Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio" covered, even though the original is hard to beat.
    A re-do of The Jim Carroll Band's "People Who Died"
    An 2005 version of the Clash's "Rock the Casbah"

    More ideas?

    Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrl ,you need to get the SPM version of Mex Radio. Viva la raza!

    Also Celtic Frost has a version, but the SPM one is far superior as it is quintessentially SPM.......

    there's a newer remake of "Mexican Radio" by....Authority Zero, maybe? some somewhat corny pop-punk version that i didnt care for really. they made it too fast. i have a cover of "People Who Died" as well, but i cant recall who did it, i shall have to check.

    as far as covers i have always pictured.....i think Prince should redo "96 Tears" by ? And The Mysterions. something about the synth groove to the track always makes me think of Prince.

    A cover of Nirvana's song "Rape Me"-- sung by Evanessance.

    There is also another Nirvana cover by Annie Lennox I think it's "Heart Shaped Box"

    Rock The Casbah was redone by Solar Twins, and is on the Brokedown Palace soundtrack.

    Mexican Radio has been done a lot. Authority Zero did it, Celtic Frost did too.... Double Drive also, and South Park Mexican.

    Go here! Fun covers and goodness like that!

    Hmmm. i have never heard annie lennox do a nirvana cover. i shall check into that. evanescence DID do "heart shaped box" though....it's the bonus track on one of the singles, i think maybe "going under". it wasn't terribly impressive.

    The BEST version of Mexican Radio I've ever heard was by Celtic Frost.....

    Hmmm....Tori Amos did a cover of a Nirvana song, but I believe it's Smells Like Teen Spirit. I love her cover of R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion.

    I wonder who could cover Berlin's "Sex" and retain the plasticky-sex/ moaning/ female-male duo vocal track? It's so Eighties in a great way.
    My DJ plays a cover of "Tom Sawyer" (Rush) but the mixed meter time sig is changed. I don't think many bands could do the song justice....
    Guns n Roses "I Think About You" (from "Appetite for Destruction") could be re-done, more tenderly but retaining the emotion. That would be sweet to hear.
