Extra points for your own cover here.

I have fond memories of Tina when she asked us if we heard of acid when Tom Tom Club opened for the Dead on NYE.

I was familiar with his avant garde work of the 1960s, so was surprised by this

Had to post this when I found out about it. DM needs to know about Streisand singing Marley

Spice World was a masterpiece of pop cinema.

[King Bob]

I am very fond of the Spice Girls and agree with DM about Spice World. Richard E. Grant has great clothes in it as well.

[King Bob]

Well, I think Birdy has a pretty good voice. And she doesn't force it, which a lot of them do. Here's a cover of The Postal Service, from 2011, when she was fifteen:
