You know......i've been listening to this Misfits "Project 1950" deal for a day or so.....and it's actually kinda grown on me. I thought it was going to be terrible, but it's really not all that bad.

That said, here's some more

the Minibosses - a metric asston of old Nintendo game themes.
Children of Bodom - Aces High, the Final Countdown aaand what's that Scorpions song they do? Damn my eyes.
that awesome Less than Jake album where they do all 'Grease' covers.

Turning Japanese - Skankin' Pickle

that is all

Reel Big Fish - Take on me
Reel Big Fish - Hungry like the wolf

There are more, but I can't think of them right now.

I'm a sucker for the Cardigans' covers of the Sabbath. And I'm totally down with the Gourds' "Gin and Juice." But "Hot for Teacher" rocked by the boognish-powered Ween is my all time favorite.

There are so many, since I'm a fan of Cleopatra's catalog.

I'll simply say Johnny Cash's cover of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus.

OHOHOHOHOH

faith no more - lets lynch the landlord
