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).
