Who should cover what Paul/Mats?

[Brad]

This is a thread that was up awhile ago and I really liked it so I'm bringing it back. It would be nice to hear what some of the new folks would say. I had a really good list the first time so I hope I can remember it. Here it goes:
Paul -
Runaway Wind - Norah Jones
We May Be the Ones - Bruce Springsteen
Kickin' the Stall - Keith Richards
Born For Me - Lucinda Williams
Bad Boy Blues - Solomon Burke with Chuck Berry on guitar and Bob Dylan on harmonica
Do Right in Your Eyes - Ryan Adams
Pyschopharmacology/Man Without Ties - John Prine
It's a Wonderful Lie - Tom Waits
Things - Wilco

Replacements -
Johnnys Gonna Die - David Johanson
Bastards of Young - Drive By Truckers
Androgynous - Rufus Wainwright
Little Mascara - Ryan Adams
Here Come a Regular - Kathleen Edwards
Within Your Reach - Peter Gabriel
Shiftless When Idle - X
Sadly Beautiful - Josh Rouse

That is all for now. I'm sure I'll think of more or wanna change some of these.

I love these picks but I think a better song for Weiland to cover would be O.D. Blues

I think most of your picks are hilarious but I'm not sure if any of it would sound good except for Marianne Faithful singing More Cigarettes. I actually think she would sound great singing this. I can actually hear her singing it.

Lay It Down Clown - Insane Clown Posse
Can't Hardly Wait - Sting (think, give it a second)

Both songs - GNR, on Chinese Democracy

Meanwhile I'm dying for someone to explain the Sting thing.

[KeithD]

I don't get the Sting thing either....

[Monkey]

Zook can confirm but I believe the Sting thing is the rumor about his tantric studies enabling him to have sex for hours at a time, hence the irony of "Can't Hardly Wait."

Hopefully I'm right, I'm going to look like quite the dirtbag if there's a more innocent explanation.

[FeelinLike100Bucks]

I don't know any rumors about Sting, but I was with Monkey, only I thought Gorden may have a problem with being pre-mature, hence CHW...

Down Love- Pete Townshend
Psychopharmacolgy- Courtney Love
Meet Me Down The Alley- Shug Night
Pine Box- Tupac
Hillbilly Junk- Rush Limbaugh
Boring Enormous- Norah Jones
I.O.U. -duet-Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson
I Don't Know- Jessica Simpson
I'll Do Anything- Rod Stewart
It's A Wonderful Lie- Justin Timberlake

[Brad]

Okay, enough with the ironic humor.

I know you were serious because your choices are great! It seems like you actually thought about how it would sound and I appreciate that.
I appreciate the humor too but it was starting to get old because I'd much rather read responses like yours.
My favorite "scooter" picks are: Josh Rouse - Within Your Reach (good call), Bruce Springsteen - Answering Machine (I'd love to hear that!), The Libertines - Color Me Impressed (I love this band and I think they could do great versions of any number of Mats songs)
Oh, Tom Waits doing Black Eyed Susan would also kick ass. I like the way you think Scooter.
