ooh! my turn! let's not forget cover songs. cover songs can earn you double cool points. if it's a good cover of a good song, *and* (key point here) you're familiar with the original that's major cool points. you can also score an almost equal amount of cool points with a bitchin cover of a horrible song. (at this point, if you like the original, it's wise not to mention this. just claim you're familiar with the original "cause it always came on the radio at work" or something)

important note: i said cover, not parody. leave your love of weird al at home til you get to know your date better :P

here's some examples:

category 1:
"it ain't me babe"- johnny cash covers bob dylan. big cool points, though due to the lyrics, probably not a good first date song.
"everybody knows"- concrete blonde covers leonard cohen.

umm, crap, i know there's more but i can't think of anything...

category 2:
"do ya think i'm sexy?" revolting cocks covers rod stewart
"come on eileen" save ferris covers dexy's midnight runners
"i will survive" cake covering gloria gaynor (probably the most likely one for you to play, cause it's believable that you'd own that :P)
