Question du jour

Toby Keith singing Ke$ha? Kenny G saxing it up with Megadeth? Pick an artist to cover any other artist's song -- who would be singing what? Why would you find this mix-up so amusing, amazing, or just plain weird?

For starters, this is kinda seasonal, but every December, I long to hear Dropkick Murphys cover the Irish Rovers's song Christmas in Killarney. Because I want to hear that pumped up to 20 and stomped on. The original is perky. I want to hear it badass.

Speaking of badass covers, I just got through watching The 2Cellos, Sulic and Hauser*, covering things like Smooth Criminal and Welcome to the Jungle. I'd love to hear them cover Crazy Train, which would be fierce. Or Iron Man. Or any song I really love: I can think of dozens. Whatever they do would definitely be kicked up a couple notches in a surreal kind of way.

o = o = o = o = o = o = o

* Check them out on You Tube, they're awesome.
