That one random song your cover band does that nobody else does.

[Double E]

Come a Little Closer - Cage the Elephant
Love Test - The Growlers
Find Yourself - Lucas Nelson
Go it Alone - Jason Isbell
Galaxy - Blind Melon

Find Yourself is a great song. I keep nudging my band toward it and can't drag them over the finish line...yet.

 

[fdeck]

One band I was in did "Lover Man" with the bass line from "In A Gadda Davida" and in 7/4. Something for everybody.

 

[Passinwind]

My old band from Seattle still does Frank Zappa's Call Any Vegetable, which I played with them quite a few times back in the late 80s.

 

[rtslinger]

Tennessee Whiskey may be on a rise around here. I've heard it done by three different bands in just the past few weeks.

we cover that one as well

 

[Bozendoka]

My band does Wasted by Def Leppard, which I had probably heard but was totally unfamiliar with before I joined.

This version but a little heavier:

 

[fourfinger]

No horns, but we do this one anyway, for the sheer fun of it.

 

[mahsidivad]

Fishbone - One Day & Bonin in the Boneyard (did Freddie's Dead too but that's more commonly covered)
Grace Jones - Pull up to the Bumper
The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now & Girlfriend in a Coma
Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers

Darnedest thing is I don't have a single board tape of any of these. Waiting on an ex-keys player to send a mystery tape. Arrival pending.

 

[marchone]

The Yardbirds Lost Woman. Haven't heard anyone else do it since The James Gang. Except for the actual Yardbirds themselves.

 

[mahsidivad]

The Turtles Glitter & Gold from a one night only show our sound man & fiancé put together.

 

[Mudder]

My old band used to cover "Talk to Ya Later" by the Tubes and that seems rare. Especially for such a fun tune.

We also would do Stinkfoot by Zappa on request.

 

[jshinal]

When Im Kissing My Love- Bill Withers

Great one with a slippery riff. We do two obscure Hollies tunes, "Come On Up" which is a stomper, and "Bus Stop" which is a vocal harmony show-off with a cool chorus progression.

 

[jshinal]

We also do the Donnas "take it off". We get a good reaction, so we keep them despite being a bit deeper cuts.

Fun band, fun song. I was a huge fan of Rockin' Allison Robertson. A riff monster who got it all done in 8 bars.

 

[LiptonJigglers]

Funeral for a Friend and Love lies Bleeding in my Hand by Elton John.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Great one with a slippery riff. We do two obscure Hollies tunes, "Come On Up" which is a stomper, and "Bus Stop" which is a vocal harmony show-off with a cool chorus progression.

"Bus Stop" is a GREAT tune! Don't recall hearing a band cover it since the late 60s.

 

[pepj]

Crazy dreams by Paul Brady. I think we do it better than the original
I'm going to make you love me by the Jayhawks.

 

[Nashrakh]

Our keys player is a big Bud Spencer fan, but I've never heard this song before, and neither has the audience, unless they're as diehard about his movies as him...

 

[Bob_Ross]

Back in the mid-1980s my original post-punk progressive rock band used to cover Martha & The Vandellas' "You've Been In Love Too Long"
...although it's not fair to say that nobody else does that tune, since we first discovered it by hearing a Bonnie Raitt cover.

 

[jshinal]

"Bus Stop" is a GREAT tune! Don't recall hearing a band cover it since the late 60s.

That's pretty much our schtick, plus fun stuff. That C/B7 chord change in the chorus...Oooo.

 

[beaglesandbass]

We do Forty Six & Two by Tool.
