This has been done many times in the past. SY shouldn't cover songs.

Why not? They've covered songs in the past! I have a whole cd that's just SY covering a whole bunch of other people's songs. It sounds great! They bring new life to already great songs! If anything, SY should cover more songs. I'd love to hear them cover pop songs. I'd love to hear what they'd do to more mainstream pop tunes. I'll bet they would totally tear them apart and make them sound a thousand times better.

Their cover of "Slave to the Grind" is remarkable.

I posted a topic on the old forum asking for suggestions for bands for SY to share a split single with, with each band covering one of the other's songs.

My suggestion then was that SY should cover Girls Aloud's "Love Machine", and that still stands.

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Nobody's perfect
We all gotta work it
But fellas, we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your call's late, big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped kitty cats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Let's go, Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand that you can
You're my man and I need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Loving me is as easy as pie, I

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbours say
This time

I've been going crazy while you sleep
Searching for a language
That the two of us can speak so
Whistle through your story, make it real
And I'll breathe underwater
'Cos I like the way it feels...


C'mon, don't you wanna hear Kim sing those words?

Even better, I know Thurston played Smoke On the Water once. It was on one of the shows in the live recording sharing thread thing, I think.

He's so good...

Ha ha Kim singing Love Machine would be great... I'd also like to hear her sing...

I was a child
who wanted love that was wild
though tight as slow motion
but crazed with devotion

insane with devotion
a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
and it wasn't no laugh

Love comes in spurts (oh no it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, cuz)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)

I just can't get wise
to those tragical lies
though I now know the facts
they still cut like an axe

cuz love comes in spurts
in dangerous flirts
and it murders your heart
they didn't tell you that part

Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts

Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts

I've always wondered what would happen if they covered a Smashing Pumpkins song (ie Silverfuck)

I agree!!! It's really fun to play. I'd up a version of us playing it, but I don't know how to transfer a version (although it's about 8 or 9 years old) from a cassette to a computer and all that stuff.

Personally I think their Ciccone Youth cover of 'INTO THE GROOVE' is so friggin brilliant. I love shit like that, where songs are almost unrecognizable from the original.

I'd really love to hear them play classical music, though. i think that would be really awesome. like a slow satie gymnopedie or like some crazy stravinsky or something. yes, that's exactly it, stravinsky by sonic youth, how fucking awesome would that be?
