does anybody who's familiar with my musical stylings have a suggestion for me? i've been too lazy to listen to the CDs i have and pick a song (and also i only have three of them, so maybe there is a better song out there somewhere.......)

Hey Bortwein, I think I'm going to be pulling out of this project. I have always loved the song I chose and thought I could do a decent cover, but as it turns out, the song's not as awesome as I remember it and my cover would not be very good either. I'm not a BNL fan, but if someone knows of a song that might sound good as a FBF cover, let me know and I'll check it out. Sorry.

i listened to 30-second clips of each of the songs that have been suggested and none of them really grabbed me... i will try to seek out full length versions of the couple that aren't on albums i have, and see what i think. but at the present time i am leaning towards taking "too little too late" into a totally unbarenaked style. we shall see.

I'd really like to see you stay in this one, I love your work and I was really looking forward to hearing your cover.

Just off the top of my head maybe listen to: I had a tie for #1.
1. War on Drugs - Album: Everything to Everyone
1. Light Up My Room - Album: Stunt
2. Life, In a Nutshell - Album: Rock Spectacle (I like this version better than the Maybe You Should Drive version)
3. Sell, Sell, Sell - Album: Maroon
4. Shoe Box - Album: Born on a Pirate Ship


EDIT: added songs
Really good song.

Also, judging from your coverfight entry, "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel" might be up your alley.

Good song. Glad to see you joining in.

Sidenote: I updated the above list in my previous post. I'll repost it later if we go to additional pages.

Whatever, sign me up for covering "The Old Apartment," possibly with Blue, until such a time as SOS declares they're going to do it.

Started/Finished this morning.

Here it be:

<a href="http://glenncase.songhole.org/content/s ... mp3">Glenn Case - It's All Been Done (Barenaked Ladies Cover)</a>

EDIT: Check out the "Cricket Mix" if you prefer

<a href="http://glenncase.songhole.org/content/s ... mp3">Glenn Case - It's All Been Done (Barenaked Ladies Cover-Cricket Mix)</a>

Please note that the only difference is at 1:57

Also: Opinions on which version should be used on Bortwein's links will be considered.

ROCK!
