They had a good son on the Batman Forever soundtrack, the most sensitive of all the Batmans.

Oh, I don't know. Bale seems pretty sensitive around his director of photographer.

/cough, cough

They covered Kylie Minogue too. I'd also like to cover Kylie Minogue.

Now I've heard two songs by the Flaming Lips, after having heard "She Don't Use Jelly" a ka-billion times. That's right, I've never heard anything else by the Flaming Lips. I hear they're good.

That was an interesting and well-done rendition of a cool tune with stupid lyrics. Not much they could do with the lyrics, of course, so I figure they made the best of what they had to work with.

Nice.

Love the Lips.

/yeah yeah yeah

Why wont the farking video open?

I am reminded of that kid in everyone's middle school who thought they were playing the piano *really cool* by holding the sustain pedal down and playing a song until it was nothing but godawful reverb.

So there is supposed to be a video in that link?

Farking SECONDED. Or The Soft Bulletin.

that was annoying as hell, I'm tired of these freaks.

Ironic covers are one of those quirks you have to tolerate from some of your favorite musicians. About seven years ago I saw David Byrne close a show with Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

Soft Bulletin ftw.

btw, I really hate Byrne but that was pretty funny.

Best unexpected covers at shows:

Nickle Creek ripping up Toxic
The New Pornographers (with Neko) rocking Don't Bring Me Down
Rodrigo y Gabriela whipping out Wish You Were Here which turned into a sing-along

Although I suppose the only ironic one in there was Toxic

"Biatches Ain't shiat" by Ben Folds deserves a mention...

...as does OK GO's cover of the Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do "Nobody Bothers Me" commercial.
