What covers would you like to hear/see certain artists try?

Certain artists would really own certain songs if they gave 'em a try. Are there any covers you'd like to see particular artists do?

I'm thinking...

Maxwell, doing Julia Fordham's "Can't Help Myself"
Aretha doing Joni Mitchell's "Two Grey Rooms"
Cassandra Wilson doing Cole Porter's "Night and Day"
Prince doing "Icky Thump"
...And I've always wanted to see a really grungy male band do a hard version of "Sugar Walls" lol

Sananda (Terence Trent D'Arby) doing Skylark's "Wildflower." I would pay dearly to hear that.

I know she doesn't have the chops for it, but Alicia Keys covering Lisa Fischers "How Can I Ease The Pain."

Hmm... she could interpret it, but it'd be a relatively "lite" version. lol

Dance

Prince:

"Ain't Nobody" - Chaka
"I'll Be Good" - Angela and Rene
"The Day I Tried to Live" - Soundgarden
"Back in Black" - AC/DC

But hell, he's probably already done all of those and I just need to find the boots.

I'd like to hear anyone remake this one.

From 1974.

Stories...

She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight

Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home
To meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood

Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry

[Instrumental Interlude]

There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man, he had a terrible fright

Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream
Ain't no diff'rence if you're black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean

Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry

I'm not a big fan of covers unless they are really good, but I have always kinda fantasized about Prince covering a Nine Inch Nails song drool
If you will, so will I
