I like to see Kiss cover REM songs.

I would make Europe play "The Final Countdown" TMLO-style, down to the last mangled note and missed beat. Just for the hell of it.

Fast Admiral Exorbitant: I would make Europe play "The Final Countdown" TMLO-style, down to the last mangled note and missed beat. Just for the hell of it.

Not a bad course of action, that! (pops)

Me, I would want Deep Sunshine to play "We Built This City." They could really do that song some justice.

I'd like to see Micheal Jackson do this. (new window)

Lawrence Welk, And His Champagne Music Makers doing The Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk To F*ck".

Tenacious D shall play "In a Big Country" by Big Country.

Ruben Studdard should do this one (new window)

Benny Goodman doing Prodigy's "Smack my Biatch Up"

TommyymmoT: Lawrence Welk, And His Champagne Music Makers doing The Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk To F*ck".

It also appears that I didn't even read the headline.

Wow, just wow.

Isn't it bad enough that the Lawrence Welk show did a cover of One Toke Over The Line?

I'd like to see Michael Jackson's Beat It transformed into merengue.

Oh, wait... Senor Coconut did that. (new window)

And Cha-cha-cha Kraftwerk , too.

As opposed to covers of songs they DID write...? You on crack, smitty? How's that working out for you?

Disturbed playing Wake Me Up (Before You Go-Go), I'd say Korn doing it, but they'd probably pull it off real well, like they did Word Up.

A good cover of Pipeline.

However, it would be hard to beat the original version by The Chantays, or the cover versions by The Ventures or Dick Dale.

I'd make Nickelback do Creed.

I've been wanting to hear Anthrax cover something of Rush, one of their more aggressive songs, like One Little Victory or Far Cry.

Bee Gees doing Sabotage

I want to make Fall Out Boy do Tubular Bells, in its entirety, in a redneck bar.

acoustic alchemy cover Ottmar Liebert

or Joan Jett covering Billy Squier

I saw that while watching TV with my parents, back in 9th grade. I was stoned at the time, and they couldn't figure out what I found so funny about it.

Here's another gem.

How about Chris Gaines covering Garth Brooks?

Green? Hahaha, awesome.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Come to think of it, I really wouldn't mind hearing ZZ Top cover just about anything.

Mel Torme doing Dope's "Die Motherfarker Die."

If we can include individual artists: William Shatner - Nine Inch Nails "Closer"

Steven Segal - "It's Raining Men".

I really wish Johnny Cash would have covered NIN, "Hurt". That would have been cool. Too late now I guess.

Celine Dion doing the Ying Yang Twins' "Whisper Song".

How many goddamned times am I going to see this same topic get posted and/or greenlit?

TommyymmoT:
Wow, just wow.

There's an R&B cover of holiday too with Jello doing background vocals:

I actually have a copy of "Too Fat To Fark" (all that she can do is suck)

'I Wanna Rock' - Twisted Sister done by Radiohead

Wham's "Bad Boys" (http://www.youtube.com/v/X62yB8pVjNA) (new window)

done by Judas Priest

metallica - Hungry Like The Wolf (with a little embellishment)

Marylin Manson - I'm a Lumberjack


just some shots in the dark...
Rhianna - you give love a bad name

NickBush24: If we can include individual artists: William Shatner - Nine Inch Nails "Closer"

Oh, definitely. I'd pay to hear that.

I'd like to hear the New Pornographers cover a Beatles song

Tori Amos covers Slayer's Reign in Blood (ignore video...) (new window)

actually a really cool cover...

In all seriousness, I think Keane could manage to redo 'Crying' and 'Shannon'. ... in additional seriousness, if Amy Winehouse survives to record again, she could probably cover a considerable amount of Cher's early solo works.

I seem to recall seeing William Shatner covering 'I Wanna Sex You Up' somewhere with bongos and a xylophone, or some good shiat like that. He said he performed that song that way because he fell off of a horse.

i suck at html, apparently. here's a cut+paste link for you.

I'd make:

Hanna Montana do "Fark the (or possibly, 'tha') Police" and "One"
System of a Down do "My Boyfriend's Back"
Luciano Pavoratti do that Souja Boy song about Supermaning that ho

Bathia_Mapes: A good cover of Pipeline.

Anthrax does a good cover. I couldn't find a clip of them doing it, but here's a clip of some kid playing the guitar part. The drums etc, are Anthrax. It's on their album Attacks of the Killer Bs.

As for the subbys request, how about Slayer singing Smoke on the Water or Metallica singing Respect.

Oasis doing Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep.
That truly was one of the worst pop songs ever and, some might say, one of the worst pop bands.

i wanna see ozzy and black sabbath do hanson's mmm-bop

thalassatx: I'd make Nickelback do Creed.

I thought they did...

blick: i wanna see ozzy and black sabbath do hanson's mmm-bop

Ozzy's box set a couple years back had some weird stuff, like him singing with Miss Piggy, and covers like "Stayin' Alive". It's weird, even for Ozzy, especially for Ozzy.

Kilmore_Trout: I really wish Johnny Cash would have covered NIN, "Hurt". That would have been cool. Too late now I guess.

Yeah, that's sad, but there's no way he could sing that and make it feel like anything...nope...

I've heard so many weird covers that nothing surprises me anymore.
