My friend and I were discussing this earlier in the day, and we thought it would be quite cool to see what songs people could cover. We came up with some really stupid ones (Morrissey doing ’Call Me’, anyone?), but anyway, seriously what songs should bands/artists do?
Doesn’t have to be too serious, I’m just curious.
As a starting point, for a Rox one I said ’Don’t You Want Me?’, and laughed, then I started to think about it, and I can see it working, it sounds good in my head.
All together now-’You were working as a waitress...

How about Marie covering Per and Per covering Marie? Let’s see... Per could do “Ett Hus Vid Havet” and Marie could try her hand at “Ska Vi Alska, Sa Ska Vi Alska (Till Buddy Holly)”! I guess the closest we’ll ever come to that is hearing Marie’s cover of “Den Ode Stranden”...
Oh! I’ve changed my mind... I want Per to sing MaMas Barn’s “Det Ar Svart Att Bryta Upp”!! (-:

Now I said it, can really see ’Don’t You Want Me’ working. Also- Per doing ’Cruel To Be Kind’ by Nick Lowe or ’I Can’t Stand Up (For Falling Down)’ by Elvis Costello
