Content-free Friday: It's a gawddamn Internet Meme now.

jackbabalon23 is celebrating a Day of Lists over at his place, and has a list of cover songs that don't or can't exist, but that he'd like to hear. He asks "How about you? Any cover songs you'd like to hear done no matter how improbable?".

This is what we in the business call A Dangerous Question to Ask. :)

So here's my list:

• Social Distortion - "Suffragette City"
  
• Nine Inch Nails - "Love Without Anger" (only because Devo covered "Head Like a Hole" some years back, and turnabout is my favorite kind of fair play)
  
• Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - "Shiny Happy People" (bad *and* wrong)
  
• Muse - "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
  
• She Wants Revenge - "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (or is that too easy?)
  
• Tool - "Touch Me" (the one by The Doors, not the one from the Rocky Horror Picture Show)
  
• The Squirrel Nut Zippers - "Heroin"
  

Also, anybody at all covering Lou Reed's "Perfect Day".

What about you lot? What improbable cover would you like to hear? (I say, knowing full well that infintysquared is lurking out there, and is at least as cover-mad as I am....)

Lore had it right:

Here is a thing that would be awesome: a "Weird Al" tribute album. There have to be enough rockers about my age who grew up listening to "Eat It" and "Dare to Be Stupid" and who have affection for the Man in Garish Hawaiian Patterns to get a good ten or twelve covers going. Personally, I'd like to hear Beck cover "Dare to Be Stupid" and Björk do "One More Minute."
