A Question About Cover Songs

[mephistowolf]

So I was having this discussion with some friends on my break this morning:

If you could choose any band, regardless of whether or not said band is still together or even alive and had them cover a song of your choosing, who and what would it be?

I chose NIN circa-1993 and "Don't Fear the Reaper"

What's yours?

You're sick

Also, Aerosmith doing "My humps" ala "Walk this way"

[mephistowolf]

That's one I'd never have thought of. I'm kinda afraid right now. "HUMP this way, and HUMP this way"

[baka_neko314]

That would be a mash up. Ish. I'm thinking more along the lines of him singing my Humps like he sang Walk this way

[mephistowolf]

Well, Weird Al does style parodies as well as straight song parodies. "Germs", for instance, is a Nine Inch Nails style parody, though not a direct song parody. "Dare to be Stupid" was his style parody of Devo. And I think that "Everything You Know is Wrong" is his They Might Be Giants style parody.

Alice in Chains (with Layne) doing Sympathy for the Devil
