This is according to the makers of that fine birdcage liner at the
New York Post:
1 -
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN by Dolly Parton (Originally by Led Zeppelin)
2 -
BABY GOT BACK by Jonathan Coulton (Originally by Sir Mix-A-Lot)
3 -
HAZY SHADE OF WINTER by The Bangles (Originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
4 -
NOTHING COMPARES 2 U by Sinead O'Conner (Originally by Prince)
5 -
SHOWROOM DUMMIES by Senor Coconut (Originally by Kraftwerk)
6 -
SMOOTH CRIMINAL by Alien Ant Farm (Originally by Michael Jackson)
7 -
PERSONAL JESUS by Johnny Cash (Originally by Depeche Mode)
8 -
AGAINST ALL ODDS by The Postal Service (Originally by Phil Collins)
9 -
EASY (LIKE SUNDAY MORNING) by Faith No More (Originally by The Commodores)
10 -
TAINTED LOVE by Soft Cell (Originally by Gloria Jones)
Some of these choices are kinda
as far as I'm concerned.
What is so special about Faith No More's version of Easy? Coulton's Baby got Back is novel but not something that should top any lists. I don't care who is is singing Showroom Dummies because that song sucks ass.
And I'd have picked Johnny Cash's version of
HURT above his version of Personal Jesus.
The Post does get props on recognizing the greatness of Dolly Parton's Stairway. She killed that song in the best way possible.
