I heard "wicked game" by Chris Isaak on the radio and it made me think....Jim could kill it!  Carl on the steel doing the slide parts.

I think I've mentioned this before but Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop is built for Jacket.

Maybe they'll do the entire Dr. Feel Good album at RCMH.  I know I'm keeping my fingers crossed! ;)

Tears Of A Clown - also not very cheesy, but delicious

I don't think this is cheesy at all, but I always thought that MMJ would be the perfect band to cover the Faces. How about a little "Stay With Me"?!?!

Now, to keep the spirit of the thread going, I nominate some Madonna..."Lucky Star" would be fun, no wait, "Like A Prayer", epic.

you know i hear songs on the crappy radio all the time and think to myself how the jacket could actually rock this tune...anyways the one i will throw into the mix is from top gun....highway thru the DANGER ZONE!.....i cant wait to see the boys

Maybe it's just me, but I don't want them to do cheesy covers. I'm a big fan when they do covers of well-chosen and good songs like Nick Drake's "Northern Sky" and "Rocket Man" etc...

You may have pegged the cheesy meter with tha Danger Zone - and that would make 2 tunes from the Top Gun soundtrack!

They've done some cheesy covers in the past. some may even say Rocket Man was one of them.  All the "cheesy" songs they do are good songs when you strip away all the cheese.  I don't think they do them for a knee-jerk reaction but to show you the awesomeness of cheese or of someone else's song.  or maybe they just like to play em and know that we'll like whatever they do.

I'm Not In Love by 10cc. I'm dead serious. That song is as good as a white tiger tire cover on a Geo Tracker.

Get Up by Mike & The Mechanics. But only if a music video is filmed involving speed boats and a lake.

both of these are terrific suggestions. i also think both of these would be magical for bo's end of things.

Post by: Dorothy_Mantooth on Mar 16, 2008, 03:07 AM
just thought of another one. Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston. also Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen. I don't know if that would be wholly doable, and i also don't know why i'm suggesting one-hit wonder disco songs. oh wait, i know why because they're REALLY GOOD

I think careless whisper is a good example.

.......I saw this thread a while ago and could never think of a cheesy cover but I was listening to Traffic last night and "Who Knows What Tomorrow Will Bring" made me think of this thread again........not really a cheesy cover but I think that MMJ could really pull it off........Jim can handle Winwood's vocal range, they have Carl to play the saxophone part, and Bo is worthy of playing Winwood's organ solos, not only that but a killer drummer to boot.......anybody know this song and agree with me.......now I have it in my head and would love to hear them do this.......

.............ps, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" would be great and incredibly cheesy at the same time..........

I'd love to hear him cover more Dylan. Dylan's powerful songwriting combined with JJ's magic voice would make the greatest covers ever.

See goin' to acapulco

Have you seen the covers comp yet?  they've actually done 8 covers of his.  Way more than any other artist they've covered.  But they could always do another!

Phish does a good cheesy version of this, in fact they played it at the only Phish show I was ever at.

Next "Oh, My God I can't believe they're playing..." song in my perfect world:

Groovy Situation - Gene Chandler.  

Sincerely, one groovy song.  If you can't shake (okay, 'sway') your ass to this, well, you must not have an ass.

With the new direction they're going in...

Bruce Springsteen's "10th Avenue Freezeout" would be very appropriate
many other Bruce songs would also be good

Also, unlikely, but "St. Stephen" by the Dead would be fucking wild
