What band should cover which song?

[Rumble Thunder]

A thinking exercise or game in which one can come up with any band from the 1940's up to the present and then state any song you think that band should cover or should have covered.

For instance:

Metallica should cover, "Born To Be Wild" or Queen should have covered, "Wake up, Little Suzie" or maybe CCR should have covered, "Oh Darling."

Or you can make statements like:
If Rush would have covered "Good Times Bad Times" then...
Or If Van Halen with David Lee Roth would have covered "Heartbreak Hotel" it would have.......maybe
been a top ten hit?

Anyway, you get the drift.
So _____________ should/should have
Cover/covered _______________?

and then we can cuss and discuss.

Any ideas?

Led Zeppelin should cover Willie Dixon's "Killin' Floor".

 

[Michedelic]

Led Zeppelin should cover Willie Dixon's "Killin' Floor".

They did, they just called it "The Lemon Song"

 

[buldog5151bass]

Zep already played this game numerous times

 

[Michedelic]

Tom Waits doing Sinatra's "That's Life".
Sinatra doing The Ramones' "Beat On The Brat", with a Nelson Riddle arranagement.
Morrissey doing Lesley Gore's "Sunshine, Lollypops, and Rainbows".

 

[Michedelic]

The Singing Nun doing Black Sabbath's "After Forever".
Dolly Parton doing Zep's "Misty Mountain Hop"(hey, she did cover "Stairway To Heaven, ya know).
Metallica doing the Munsters theme.

How about Gene Simmons doing Sabbath's War Pigs? Or wait how about The Cranberries doing War Pigs? Lol

 

[ebo]

Speaking of the cranberries, how about Green Day doing Zombies?

 

[Michedelic]

Or wait how about The Cranberries doing War Pigs? Lol

This comes close...

 

[Rumble Thunder]

The Ramones' "Beat On The Brat", with a Nelson Riddle arranagement

Speaking of the Ramones, how about Johnny Cash doing "Rock'n'Roll High School?"

I can hear that low voice singing, "I don't care about history...that's not where I wanna be."

or maybe go Motown and let Diana Ross and the Supremes try it

 

[Michedelic]

Speaking of the Ramones, how about Johnny Cash doing "Rock'n'Roll High School?"

The Beach Boys should have done it, since the tune is sort of an homage to them anyway, just like Roger McGuinn covering Petty's "American Girl".

 

[The Owl]

Sinatra doing Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" with a Billy May arrangement.

King Crimson doing either "Termination" or "My Mirage" by Iron Butterfly

 

[MG Wolf]

She & Him backed by Them covering Suzanne Vega's "We of Me", at the Annual Convention of Grammarians.

Now that's something I would bring my dangling participle to.

Based off how good this song is:



I really think a metal band (not sure who, but that's not the point) would be able to do a good cover of this song:

 

[laristotle]

How about Pat Boone singing Alice Cooper? Oh, wait ..

 

[Wood and Wire]

Barry White should have covered "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.

 

[Michedelic]

She & Him backed by Them covering Suzanne Vega's "We of Me", at the Annual Convention of Grammarians.

Now that's something I would bring my dangling participle to.

How about your dangling conversation and superficial sighs?

They did, they just called it "The Lemon Song"

But they added one of the best bass solos ever as well...

 

[JTE]

A serious one- Tom Waits ca. "Closing Time" doing a cover of Carole King's "It's Too Late".

Fanny doing Clapton/Whitlock's "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad".

Brady Carlise and Lake Street Dive covering "Dear Mr. Fantasy"
