FOTC Fantasy Covers!

I love when bands cover other bands' songs. So I was thinking about how cool it would be to hear FOTC do some covers. If you could pick any songs to hear Jemaine and/or Bret cover, what would they be? (How many times can I type cover in one post? haha)

I'll start:
Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House
Life on Mars by Bowie

Two obvious choices, I know. I'm also a fan of Donovan, and I think Dark Eyed Blue Jean Angel would be a good one.

Oh also, if there are any other bands you'd like to hear cover FOTC songs, put them here too.

I'd really like to hear them finish the quarter-attempted cover of the Cellblock Tango they attempted at the Chicago show. " title="" border="0"/>

Also, I'd like to see Tori Amos try her hand at some FOTC songs. She's done REM and Nirvana, why not?

Man, I WISH. Although it wasn't really a whole-hearted cover, it was just Jemaine trying to remember the "
Pop! Six! Squish!"
intro and failing...so instead he just started improvising with random sound effects. XD I'd like to see an improvised verse perhaps, maybe in the style of "
Ex-Girlfriends?"


Ironically enough, they played at the Chicago Theatre...which is where Roxie and Velma have their first show together.

/end of musical nerdiness

ok a few months ago i had asked one of my friends to photoshop the guys as the Pet Shop Boys and she never got around to it...because she said she had too many request.
So when that mag came out and they were doing the PSB cover i nearly dropped dead!
TRUE STORY!

so ok covers:

Joy Division (i know not exactly 80's but still would be interesting to see)

Thompson Twins

Eurythmics

the police (they can include Rhys)

this is kinda hard ....i'm trying to keep it duos and 80's but i will have to think about it more first...be back with more.

I didn't really keep it to 80's or duo's (AHEM...two man bands ). They can do any song they set their minds to. haha

Tears for Fears

shout shout let it all out!

Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf!

Hehehe I WOULD want that. ;
)

cake is the first band that's coming to my mind...i'm thinking "
mr. mastadon farm"
just 'cause it's such a strange song to begin with, and i love it " title="" border="0"/> also in the vein of strange songs would be anything tmbg, like maybe "
ana ng"
or "
bangs."
or anything else, lol.

i remember hearing that the only non-fotc song jemaine knows how to play on guitar is blackbird....would REALLY like to hear that.

and bjork, because i know jem likes bjork, and because that would be incredibly interesting to hear what they'd do with her stuff. doesn't matter which song, any of them would be cool.

ooh and i'd love to hear some duo versions of the video kid songs! " title="" border="0"/>

Particle Man, by TMBG " title="" border="0"/>

omg i was thinking about that one too ami!!!
My David Cook did it on american idol this year

"
American Woman"
- I think it's been done by the Guess Who and Lenny Kravitz.

I was just thinking about this the other day...they'd do a terrific cover of "
Today"
by the Smashing Pumpkins. I can imagine Bret emulating Billy Corgan's breathiness on that song!

Beck's "
Debra"
,but of course.

Also : Simon and Garfunkel's "
America"
.

Not just because Bret likes those songs,but because I like those songs

ok, you had to see this coming from me....

nin ~ closer, or hurt, or something i can never have, or we're in this together, or beside you in time, or.........i'm gonna go ahead and stop myself now.

actually, i think i'd rather hear the video kid take on "
beside you in time"
...ooohhhhh, that would be nice!

How about "
Kiss"
by Prince? I heard it yesterday and it seemed like a natural. ;

This song was made for Jemaine to sing. *sending him a telepathic message*
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I have to agree wholehearted with the "
Kiss"
.....super sexy

I thought of a perfect song for them to cover
