i wanna hear a remake of this song:

Quote :

" Another morning in my security box Every stage has free bagels and lox I just noticed I'm wearing two different-colored socks Man, this Vanilla Coke® really rocks My second-favorite actor has gotta be Captain Kirk These are things I think about at work I wonder if Abe Vigoda's still alive I wonder if there's any doughnuts left on Stage 5 The movie Memento had a very confusing story Will Joe Gibbs bring the Redskins back to glory? I never met Pierce Brosnan; got the feelin' he's kind of a jerk These are things I think about at work I think Mr. T can take Russell Crowe in a fight (Don't you?) I'd like to be Mr. Britney Spears for just one night I've always thought that guinea pigs were odd (They don't even look like pigs) The man who invented NutRageous® is a god If I were Hercules, all my best friends could just call me Herc These are things I think about at work I used to have a next-door neighbor, and he'd yell at me when I'd cut through his yard Either goin' to school or comin' home, and once he threw a rock at my dog And then he'd call the cops when I'd play my music no matter how loud or quiet it was And he had a weird limp from the second World War And he smoked like a chimney, swore like a sailor, and he drank beer all day, and he hated my guts, and his name was Frank McGuirk These are things I think about at work Yeah, these are things I think about at work Oh, these are things I think about at work "

Second (except for a few)

This would take forever for me, I can think of about five hours' worth of good covers.

So I'll just go with the Ryan Adams version of "Wonderwall".

"Love Song by 311 was pretty good."

No, it wasn't.

"What is the most covered song? Excluding religious songs, I'd venture to guess Crossroads by Robert Johnson."

apparently it's either Yesterday by the Beatles or Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum

yes it was.

There's no point in doing a cover if you're not doing something interesting with it.

Adding a lame white boy reggae beat and the same shitty over-chorused vocals that show up on every 311 recording ever is not interesting.

As far as the most covered song, the general consensus on straight covers is "Yesterday," but there's a very strong argument for public domain songs like "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "In the Pines/Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

I think Dub Side of the Moon by Easy Star All-Stars is the best cover album I've ever heard
