The Doors song covered by Smash Mouth.

I went to the video game store with my kids over the week-end and they had a used music cd rack. I got ‘Stoned Emmaculate – The Music Of The Doors’ It’s covers and some interesting re-mixes.
I also got ‘We’re A Happy Family – A Tribute to Ramones’ – I’m not sure what song I’m gonna use from that cd – probably ‘I Wanna Be Sedated’ done by The Offspring :-) – I haven’t listened to it enough to be sure yet

Thanks Alanna!!

That is a great cover. I wasn’t able to find ‘Easy’ but I’m gonna try again.
Baker Street – I love the mood this song gives and how it changes – from the wild guitars – to the almost acoustic with Dave Grohl’s voice. I’ve listened to it quite a few times now, and it keeps sounding better. Thanks: keep ‘em coming :-)

Beautifully done accoustic version of the Beatles song :-)

Jimmy Buffet cover :-)

Joni Mitchell cover
Some people seem to think that this is a poor cover, but I love it
:-)

Been working on this a little today
so far-
1 – You Can’t Always Get What You Want
2 – I Am
3 – Purple Haze
4 – I Only Want to be With You (I’m not sure who did it originally, but I’m including this cover by Vonda Shepard – from the Ally McBeal cd)
5 – Pale Blue Eyes
6 – You Make Lovin’ Fun
7 – Night Watchman – Tom Petty song covered by Punchdrunk
8 – Wonderwall

I dug up the ‘Covers tape’ I started. Here’s what i got so far:
You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Stones song covered by Rusted Root)
I Am (Prince song covered by Jonny Lang)
Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix song covered by The Cure)
Pale Blue Eyes (Velvet Underground song covered by R.E.M.)
You Make Lovin’ Fun (Fleetwood Mac song covered by Jewel) – not sure if I’m gonna keep this or use ‘Landslide’ from Smashing Pumpkins – trying not to put more than one band’s/artist’s cover
