Songs we'd like to hear Meat sing?
 

Is there any songs you'd like to hear Meat sing that you think his voice would suit?

I can imagine him singing an outstanding version of I Don't Like Mondays, I'd love to hear him sing it.

A great thing would be
Hallelujah by Leonhard Cohen
In 03 or 04 there was a very emotional cover of this, by Jeff Buckley.
That´s a real great version of that song!
I think Meat´s voice would be perfect for that song.
R.

Good call Radiomaster.

I have quite a list I'd like to hear him sing, Date With Destiny is way up there. Dumb as it sounds, I could see Meat covering some of songs from the second incarnation of Everclear. :oops:

Not to mention the songs of Aussie band Redgum.

Unfortunetly Jeff Buckley died in 1997.
His cover was on his 1994 album, Grace.

Not bad but nothing beats Leonard.

Meat would be good at this.

Oh I love that song...I thing the crappiest version of it suprisingly enough was done by Bono...

Ok...you will probably think I am crazy (and, of course, you won't be wrong) but first time I've heard Loving You Is a Dirty Job...was at the DE concert and it went straight over my head. Then I heard Bonnie Tyler singing it...and I didn't like it. But for a few weeks now I can't stop listening to it for whatever reason...and only one thought comes to mind...oh if only it was ML singing it...

How about some sinatra? thats maybe wild thought, but Thatwould prove he can sing anything!

Heck, that would be awesome! Honestly, Sinatra is only second to Meat for me. Totally different style, but I love em both.

A couple of Queen songs maybe? Headlong and I Want It All are great!
Hallelujah has also come to my mind a few times:D
Living on a Prayer
Survivor's Burning Heart.

You´re right, it was in 94, just a typing erronr.
But it was released in 04 once again, because it was on an episode of some tv-series.
I think it was "the oc", but i´m not sure.
In every case it was released again, but i dont know if it was a single or on the soundtrack of the series.


How about Eye of the Tiger?

Hallelujah is a very good call!! What a great song!

I think this has been said somewhere before but I'd like to hear Meat do An American Trilogy

So many ..

Meat has said the Gershwin Estate asked him to do an album of Gershwin songs, and I'd love that to come about :)

Queen's "Don't stop me now" would be another good one imo .. and I would adore him to record with Patti that wonderful song from Chess, "I know him so well" .. the words would need minor adjustmet to make it a duet with a man and woman, but I can picture the two of them standing back to back singing it about each other .. that one is probably top of my wish list .. although he could sing Lambs Eat Oats and Mares Eat Oats and I'd enjoy it :)

There are so many great songs idea and a rock cover album would be good I think. Some of my ideas for a possible cover album:

Hearts on Fire from the Rocky 4 soundtrack
My Way
Highway to Hell - ACDC
Rosalita - Springsteen
Have a Little Faith in Me
Rock and Roll All Nite - Kiss
Allright Now - Free
I Wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
You ain't seen nothing yet - BTO
And one of my favrouites
"Come on feel the noise" - Quiet Riot

With some of them i agree, but not with all:
things i could never imagine are You aint seen nothing yet or highway to hell. My way would be great.
Come on feel the noise (or officially: cum on feel the noize) is from slade, but the QR cover is definetly the better one!

How about "Happy Birthday" ...AT my birthday party! :lol:

I would like to hear 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'...

I don't like Slade, though they wrote a classic there, rather forget they did that song.

Slade isn´t my favorite band, too. The only thing that i really like is "far far away", that´d be great to hear from Meat, too, for getting back on-topic...

... i think this was discussed somewhere here once before?.. but i could be wrong.. anyroad.. the song i would love more than any other for Meat to sing is...

Elton J's Tiny Dancer...

t...

Hallelujah, or pretty much anything by Leonard Cohen, is an excellent call!

In the same vein, maybe Tom Traubert's Blues by Tom Waits ...

!!
 

Nice to see another Cohen fan!

Dang. Who is the Cohen guy? Never heard of him..

Are you kidding? There are plenty of us here...

One of my favorites is Famous Blue Raincoat

RJ, the more I think about it...the more I think this was one heck of a brilliant call...I can't even come up with anything after this...All I can think of ML singing Hallelujah...

He is a composer - Leonard Cohen. There are a lot of his records around. You can probably listen to samples on Amazon...or get samples on the Net in general

Leonard Cohen is one of those composers that you've either never heard of or you're a huge fan of - I don't think there's much of a middle ground.

Hallelujah was used recently in the soundtrack for Shrek (not Cohen's version though - Rufus Wainwright's).

Leonhard Cohen (*1934-09-21 in Montreal) is a Canadian Singer and Composer. Began 1954 in the country-band Buckskin Boys. He´s famous for his very dark and sad songs. Also worked as a successful novel-author. His big time was between 68 ahd 71. He became popular once again, when Jennifer Warnes säng some of his songs on her 87 album "Famous Blue Raincoat"
Biggest hits: Suzanne and Lover, Lover, Lover. In the time of 1995 to 1999 be was living as a buddhistic friar in a zen-cloister in the californian mountains. Today he´s living in LA.

Hope that helps.

Meat should do Sherry Darling by Bruce Springsteen - great old fashioned (ie good!) rock n roll.

I also think he would belt the hell out of Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams. And I think he should do the song I wrote (see my thread Something Is Coming (The Meaning Of Sin) in off topic).

Some thing that came to my mind:
How about some scorpions-songs.
OK, i doesn´t nas to be wind of change, but Hurricane or send me an angel would be nice. I cant imagine how it would sound if Meat sang those songs.
R.

Yeah I tnik that Scorpions would sound great singing by Meat Loaf and I would like to hear Phill Collins's Against all odds in Meat Loaf performance.

its all coming back to me now

Still Loving You would sound good with Meats voice and Paul and Randys guitar work.

U2's Stuck In a Moment (You Can't Get Out Of) has potential for Meat's voice, imo.

Plus, it has brackets in the title. :D

:lmao:

I wonder if Meat's going to be running around a big mansion with a white nightie on, like Celine Dion did :shock: Blimey I'll need therapy to remove that thought :tard:

Anyhoo, I think Meat would suit some Trans-Siberian Orchestra stuff

Pud :twisted:

Bananaphone!!!
 

Ring ring ring ring Bananaphone!!!

Agree!

Since he has a penchant for doing older 'classics' live (i.e. Mercury, Black Betty), how about 'TUSH' by ZZ Top:

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, texas, hollywood.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
Not by myself, not alone.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

THAT would be fun to see...lots of room for Paul to wail on the guitar and plenty of room for Meat to play it up with Patti!

FYI, in the movie Shrek, it is John Cale, of the Velvet Underground singing, while as you say it is on the soundtrack it is Rufus.

Celine Dion: "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"

Wait a minute...

I did not know that - thanks for the correction!

dance in my pants

stark raving love

YES!

NO!

Pud :twisted:

Was quite surprised myself. Seems a bit strange but I think it had to do with Record Label and Studio rights stuff...:?

What do you think about Roy Orbison? It would be nice to hear Meat´s version from Pretty Woman.

:shock:

Pud :twisted:

Is there a song about the world ending?

I think I'd like to hear "Build a bridge"....

Or am I thinking of "Under the bridge"?

I`d love to hearing songs from the new bat-album. :-)

[QUOTE=Pudding]:lmao:

HahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAA !!!!!!!!!

Hey, Meat could cover "Bridge Over Troubled War" :D

I think you mean "Bridge ON troublesome postwhore" ;)

Hahahahaha ! :D:D:D:D

Good call

The only one that´s in my mind now is
It´s the end of the world as we know it - REM
great song, a little bit of country i think

Under the Bridge by RHCP would be really great! That´s such a powerful song!

Meat doing R.E.M.? Woah!
Imagine a cover of "Everybody Hurts"

Whoa! Great song! Compares in the quality to Sometimes You can´t make it on Your own by U2

The End Of The World As We Know It would be bloody good done by Meat.

my brother says, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

faster that the speed of night could be interesting

Common People would be a good un!

:twisted: The End Of The World - Skeeta Davis.
Howzat :cool:

joan jett and the blackhearts "I love rock and roll"

One more end of the world song:
Queen - Hammer to fall

how about: another brick in the wall - pink floyd?

... Eve of Destruction... think that goes along well with The Monster is Loose ... ;) ... yas... the night before the release of the album !!... yas.. the eve of destruction !!... destroy allll the negative thoughts of the cynics.. when at last THE MONSTER IS LOOSE !!!!!...bwwwahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahaha...hic... goodbyeeeee......

My Immortal by Evanescence/Amy Lee. I know I keep going on about a Meat/Amy Lee duet. But I think this would be a perfect choice of song for it. I can imagine Amy singing to Meat and then vice versa.

There are so many songs I'd love Meat to cover... basically any slow, emotional ballad would be great.

I'd also love to hear/see him sing Everybody (Needs Somebody) of The Blues Brothers and most of the best blues singers fame.

I agree - Queen's I Want It All would sound awesome performed ML style !

I've got one its in General Messages under Unforgettable Opera by Roger Daltrey I do not believe there is any music written for this yet...

Sorry do not know how to transfer the words to this topic:oops:

Hi,

eric Clapton -Tears in heaven

a great song and so melancholy!!!

Oooh... spooky! :shock: :lol:

Lol - agree 100%! Strak Raving Love is just NOISE.

Ok, that quote didn't work so well... YES = DIMP NO = SRL.

If it's the Big O, it's gotta be Mean Woman Blues!

I only can repeat what i´d already said:
HALLELUJAH

A song Meat should sing:

I feel thunder in my heart.

great song.

Driven by You - Brian May (would be interessting)
Mad World, the Gary Jues version, not the one by Tears for Fears.

There's a song called "Built This City On Rock and Roll" - I think theres a bit in that sounds really like Meat.

Anyone know who this is by?

Jefferson Starship

Diane

Thank you... so yes I think that sounds quite like Meat anyway so I guess he'd do this song quite well.

Glad to be Gay - Tom Robinson band

Right
Jefferson Airplaine aka Jefferson Starship aka Starship
There was also a cover by, I think it was Journey, but it sounds nearly the same.

I would love to hear Meat sing a song from Pahntom Of The Opera. i think he would be good at it. Don't you ??

Yes.

Or how about Summer Nights with Bonnie Tyler?

Gladstone Pier, by Redgum.... OH YEAH!

Cheer Up (You Miserable F*ck) by David Ford

Deep Purple - Fire Ball! ;-)

\

I go with that one anytime...

go on Meat ...Fire ball would be good:D

How about "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave?

Or "Dancing Queen" by Abba? ;)

:shock::shock::shock:

I like where the wild roses grow by N.Cave and K.Minogue, thought about if Meat would suit that song...
I really can´t imagine him singing it.

Aerosmith's I don't wanna miss a thing...

Good one!

How about Queen of the Silver Dollar - Dr Hook?

Gotta be These Arms Of Mine - Otis Readinng....

The Monster is loose, an unreleased song written by Desmond Child, it´b be great to hear Meat do this!

Buy me a rose - kenny rogers
If tomorrow never comes - Garth brooks
Monday morning church - alan jackson
www.memory - alan jackson

Football´s coming home!

How about "Do Ya Wanna Touch"?

How about Bridge Over Troubled Water? That would be great.

Meat should def do an album with classics like these IMO:

John Hiatt - Have a little Faith in me
Sting - Fields of Gold
Guns 'n Roses - November Rain
Autograph - Turn up the Radio (This would make an awesome song to start a show with. Having Meat and the band sing: "Daytime, Nighttime, Anytime, Things go better with Rock!" would be great I think)
Gary Barlow - Forever Love
Josh Groban - You raise me Up
Jeff Buckley / Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah

Oh YEAH, baby, bring it home!!!!

Thought you'd appreciate that..... :lol:

I'd like to hear Meat do The Road To Hell (Pt 2) - Chris Rea

This is getting interesting. Someone should post a thread where we can tell everyone what we'd like Meat to sing.
