:o I love Hallelujah if it's the one I think it is:
"I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord"
that one?
I hate Bob Dylan's cover of it

Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love
Stereophonics - Handbags And Gladrags
Satyricon - I Got Erection

Who originally did "I Got Erection"?
I have like a gazillion versions of it.

for some reason Manson covers are almost always kind of dull. I love some of his originals, but Personal Jesus was just kinda.... Maybe that's just me though.

I don't have one The only one I can think of is Marilyn Manson's cover of some Madonna song, only because it's so freaky.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Oh yeah, and Apoptygma Berzerk - Enjoy the Silence

that's the song. I play it myself every chance I get, drives the wimmens wild.

I'd punch Dylan in the face if I heard him try to sing it though

 

[Syrup Beaver]

And the Smashing Pumpkin's cover of that Fleetwood Mac song, dunno the name offhand

 

[Pandora]

Almost any Dylan cover, because I love his songwriting but I hate his singing.

I'm not sure, I got told it was turbonegro and it seems fitting that they'd come up with something like that but Im not positive.

I like it because my Daddy used to sing it to me when I was little... there's a few songs he and my Nana used to sing to me that I just looooove.

When I watched Shrek and heard it there I almost got up and held a lighter up in the theatre

I love the original of Tainted Love but MM's seems a bit more erotic if you know what I mean. It's a pretty addictive song.

:o SP did a cover of Fleetwood Mac? I must find this song.

 

[Lynnakitty]

Reel Big Fish's cover of Take On Me is also very good..
credited to Kidane for introducing me to it.

I liked that song for about 5minutes until I realised it was ska and I should delete it very sharpish.
