  1. Samantha Ivy Says:

    Hmmm…I know it probably not much of a stretch, but maybe something by Gatsby’s? Oo-oh, or maybe something by Lovedrug, they’re pretty good…I dunno, I’m sure any song you do will come out awesome anyway :-P

  2. Austin Morgan Says:

    “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie

    maybe get someone to sing the other part???

    ~orionseyes (on the forum)

  3. Tiffany Says:

    anything by The Beatles because I can not stop listening to them. It would be pretty awesome.

  4. Dan Says:

    If you ever covered “Kiss From A Rose,” I might make a mess in my pants.

  5. Cooper Link Says:

    you should do “the man of constant sorrow” off of the o brother where art thou soundtrack.

  6. Mae. Says:

    Working Class Hero.
    Lover I Don’t Have To Love.
    ..Yay?

  7. Patrick Says:

    boy with a coin

  8. Alec Says:

    This Will Be Our Year by The Zombies

  9. Ricky Says:

    well out of the many songs i own ive narrowed it down to 5
    1 MFEO pt 1 and 2- Jacks Mannequin
    2 the june spirit- Patent Pending
    3 Momentum- The Hush Sound
    4 Keasby Night- Catch 22
    5 Heart of Hearts- !!!
    and any beatles, Pink Floyd, or Queen

  10. Meg Says:

    Scarborough Fair - Simon And Garfunkel, would be beautiful by you.

  11. Terri Says:

    I agree with Meg. \o/

  12. cheyenne Says:

    i agree, boy with a coin would be fantastic

  13. Raleigh Says:

    This one might be weird, but different:
    Bill Withers : Use Me

    Minus The Bear : Fine + 2 pts (I don’t know if that falls under a “scene” request or not)

    I actually think the one request from O, Brother Where Art Thou… would be really interesting. Or do some crazy soundtrack song like, Can’t Fight The Moonlight.

  14. marci Says:

    “this armistice” - the receiving end of sirens
    ~or~
    “the pimp and the priest” - the dear hunter
    ~or~
    “ooh la” - the kooks

  15. kevin Says:

    something by Miley Cyrus or HEIDI MONTAG haha just for laughs lol

    or maybe something like..
    “hard knock life” by Jay Z
    “daylight” by Kelly Rowland and Travis McCoy
    “smile” by Lily Allen
    “brighter” by Copeland
    “new soul” by Yael Naim
    “complainte de la butte” by Rufus Wainwright
    “lentil” by Sia

    random songs but i figure its cool seein more rockish bands cover pop or rap songs bc its a totally new sound when they do.. im sure youll come up with something good

  16. Jeannie Says:

    Yael Naim - New Soul
    The Dear Hunter - His Hands Matched His Tongue
    Third Eye Blind - Forget Myself
    Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can
    Queen - Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
    Bjork - Unravel
    and/or you couldddddddd do “I Am a Heart Watson…” because I’ve never seen this live and it’s so amazing.

  17. Kailani Says:

    Kanye West — Stronger

  18. Jeannie Says:

  19. GINA! Says:

  20. Samantha Says:

    ‘Wild World’ by the one and only Cat Stevens :]

    what the heck, one more.
    ‘Head Over Heels’ - Tears for Fears

  21. Kayla Says:

    I know you already covered this at the Showbox but it’s seriously amazing, and I would love to hear it over and over. “Watching the Detectives” -Elvis Costello

  22. Chris Says:

    “advice for young mothers to be” by the veils………

    great song i think it would really suit your voice/style

  23. Mae. Says:

    Lola by The Kinks. XD
    Or Bike by Pink Floyd.

  24. cheyenne Says:

    you have to rap something by kanye. you HAVE to!

  25. Parker Says:

    “Sunday Drive” from The Early November.

  26. Denise Says:

    Oh man I can think of so many!

    Absolutely Zero - Jason Mraz

    Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind

    Shake That - Eminim

  29. natalie Says:

    thirding “boy with a coin”

    also, “oh comely” by neutral milk hotel would be pretty phenomenal

    maybe some “young pilgrims” by the shins?

  30. jasey rae Says:

    nature boy :)
    hmm what else…how about “first day of my life” by bright eyes?
    or anything from fueled by ramen? hee.

  31. Beverly Says:

    Something Sondre Lerche or perhaps Matt Costa… both are pretty amazing.

  32. Zachary Says:

    thomas i think you could do a killer “with or without you” by obviously u2

  33. Jeremy Says:

    “let it burn” by usher
    “differences” by ginuwine
    Both are sexy

  34. johnnyminardi Says:

    Incubus - “Dig”
    Incubus - “Pistola”
    Incubus - “Are You In?”
    Wu-Tang - “Shame On A Nigga”
    Fat Joe - “Still Not A Player”

    The Smashing Pumpkins - “Untitled”
    Death Cab For Cutie - “Brothers On A Hotel Bed”
    Jimmy Eat World - “Lucky Denver Mint”
    The Get Up Kids - “Anne Arbour”
    Saves The Day - “Jessie & My Whetstone”
    Saves The Day - “This Is Not An Exit”
    Phantom Planet - “Bythebed” (or any song of the self titled album)
    I’ve got way more suggestions but hop on this list for now.

  35. kevin Says:

    honestly.. dont cover a rock/ slow rock song. take a pop or rap song and turn it into a punk/alt/rock version that were gonna love. thats whats gonna make for an awesome cover .. is taking something good and showing how it can be just as good in a different way!

  36. Mae. Says:

    Sweetness by Kimmy Eat World.
    Coin Operated Boy, or Backstabber by the Dresden Dolls.

  37. Zachary Says:

    outkast - hey ya = )

  38. Denise Says:

    seconding phantom planet “by the bed”
    by the bed
    by the bed
    by the bed
    you’ve got a ton to choose from so many good suggestions. Are there any surprises on here for you? any suggestions make you think ‘fuck yeah!’?

  39. julie Says:

    I second on Silverchair - “Ana’s Song (Open Fire)” Thats such a good song!!
    “Coin operated boy” by the dresden dolls would also be amazing.

  71. Keen Says:

  72. A.J. Says:

    “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M.
    “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd

  73. jackie Says:

    I second whoever said Saves The Day and Manchester Orchestra.

  74. Abbie Says:

  75. ellyn Says:

    anything elliott smith please

  76. Julie Says:

    i think you should do some of the starting line….The Best of Me?? yeah i think so. oh and is senses fail what you consider “scene”? if not, cover NJ Falls Into The Atlantic.

    christine… do you actually have the CWK song?! because i might be eternally grateful if you sent it to me

    ————-
    i don’t. but there are a few clips on youtube. one is from lollapalooza that i posted but that one is only half the song. there is another from cab sessions i think it’s called and thats just the singer and a violinist thats really nice.

  79. christine Says:

    i like clarky’s suggestion for sweet marie by the anniversary

  80. bateson Says:

    any tom waits, radiohead - creep, silverchair (anything off diorama, or young modern), coolio - gangsta’s paradise

  81. Ryan Says:

    micheal jackson - beat it

    daaaaamn!

    =]

  82. Zachary Says:

    radiohead - karma police could be amazing by you thomas!

  83. rachel Says:

    sing a jazz tune.
    sing fly me to the moon or something.

  84. Mark Says:

    sinatra by los angeles burning!

  85. Bartek Says:

    hey, ‘we’re not orphans’ is one of my GAD’s favorites, pretty great cover! ;o ..You could try some Radiohead like ‘high and dry’ or something,.. or anything by The Get Up Kids on the other hand ;D ..greetings from Poland Thomas, and good luck with FD! ;)

  86. Neicie Says:

    Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye.

    This is my all time favorite tune, and I absolutely love to hear different people cover it… It’s so much fun to sing, Tom! And still easy… D, A, G, A.

  87. Ariel Says:

    i think you could do a killer cover of “bubbly” by colbie caillat

  88. Ice Climbers Says:

    You guys have potential. Keep the icebergs coming. I’m gonna kill your bitch.

  89. marcos Says:

    i think some beatles songs would be awesome, aswell as some dear hunter, like the vital vessle vindicates or the pimp and the priest or some smiling swine

  90. Andrew Says:

    You Will or Whatever by Rory! that would be awesome! or an old Ataris song.. as one guy said, 3eb would be super rad.

  91. marci Says:

    i think you might be able to pull something like “holding someone’s hair back” by circa survive off.

    “you won’t hear this” by envy on the coast might be good too.

    and i think mark ronson’s version of “stop me” would be an interesting one to hear.

  92. Peteyboy Says:

    You should cover Anarbor’s Anatomy. You would rock it.

  93. Gdog Says:

    I can’t stand the way some people express their mind – it sound terrible. Is a lot of cussing necessary, guys?
