Cheesy covers you would like to see

[Crispy]

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

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

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...

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.

"Caught Up In You" - 38 Special  8-)

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.

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..........

[tobiasfunke]

i was watching the pilot of freaks and geeks last night, and it made me think that MMJ could do a killer Come Sail Away by Styx

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!

Billy #4
Girl from the North Country
If Not For You

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