That would be fan-fcuking-tastic!

Ballroom Blitz - The Sweet, is my all time wish but I'm thinking of adding Because the Night - Patti Smith because it's just fuggin brilliant.

6 1/2 year bump... just heard Johathan Richmann's 'Roadrunner' and immediately thought it would've sat perfectly in a live set alongside Sister Ray and Ghostrider.

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

The Virgin Prunes: "Decline and Fall"

Including incense and other sorrowful shenanigans.

Rhinestone Cowboy - Glen Campbell
Kingston Town - Harry Belafonte
Saturday Night - Whigfield
Tell it to my Heart - Taylor Dayne
I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables

well, this would be great

"Love is the Drug" would be a nice one indeed
But i would be delighted to hear this live

"First we take Manhattan"

Nero - My Eyes

I refer the honourable questioner to my original answer to this question (provided in my first ever post on Heartland, back in 2004):

http://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic. ... 0&start=27

Some great suggestions on this thread -Strict Machine, How Soon Is Now but after the cover of Comfortably Numb, I always thought could have done a fantastic cover of the slightly proggy Old and Wise, the no. 74 UK hit from 1982 (and current funeral favourite) by The Alan Parsons Project.

I still think My Girl Lollipop would be quite a hoot

"King of Rock and Roll" by Prefab Sprout. I actually suggested that to Chris Catalyst and he wasn't impressed.
"Drive" by REM would be very good.
"Hey Hey My My" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse too.

@Ozpat: Blue Monday is a good idea
Others:
Joy Division - She's lost control
NMA: Lib Ed
Inspiral Carpets: This is how it feels

Yeah ! A glammed up version with Catalyst on backing vocals would rock... if the band still had live bass. I was listening to some old stuff today and would also love to hear 's take on The Passions' I'm in love with a German filmstar ..

(how does it feels) In my arms - K. Minogue
played straight after "Arms" it would give this song an extra/other dimension.

Other ideas :
- Twilight zone - Golden Earring (starting with the splendid opening "it's 2 a.m. and the fear is gone ..."

- Sisters are doin' it for themselves - Eurythmics
- Drive - REM
- Midnight Man - Sandra (sung as "I'm your midnight man" of course )

The Doors- Light my Fire

cheers, Oliver

if we are with R.E.M. i would like to hear uber out of key singing in cover of "everybody hurts".
