There are just some songs that are better had someone else sang it.. or a good song became better because of someone sang it better.
i had in my mind some songs that had been lingering in my mind. some songs that could been better , interestingly Cool had they sang it.
(Cover song Perspectve and What if ? - they sang it Perspective)
1. Sonic Youth - Superstar ( The Carpenters) Though they have covered this in 1994, i believe Had Kim Gordon sang it ,that could have given the song more character.
2. My Vitriol - My Immortal (Evanescence) - After they did a great version of Madonna and Martika's songs how can they not do it with this song? i can already imagine how Som Wordner would sound.
3. Nirvana - Debaser (The Pixies)-Since Pixies is one of their major influenece i hoped i had seen Kurt do a "Debaser" before his demise in 1994. this would be an impossible now, unless there's some recorded of Nirvana covering the song.
4. Fiona Apple - Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead O' Connor) - After an incredible feat of conquering a diffenrent Song " Across The Universe", i would love her to do justice on this 1990 Sinead O'Connor Hit. Her Melancholic voice would definitely a perfect fit for the song
5. Joe Cocker - What a wonderful World ( Louise Armstrong) - i seen some songs uploaded on the Net ( Youtube) that attributed the song to Joe Cocker, with intereset and a little bit Skeptic, i did listen to it, Yeah only to find it was actually Louise Armstrong.
6. Paul McCartney (With Wings)- She's Not There (The Zombies) - i always loved this song, and when i was younger i used to thought McCartney has a version of this. with Wings i supposed.
7. Incubus - Elegantly Wasted ( INXS) - Surely Brandon Boyd isnt Michael Hutchence, but i would want to hear how would they work on this song
8. Sugar Hiccup - Carolyn's Finger ( Cocteau Twins)- I was hooked on that 5 Years song... and instantly it reminded me of Elizabeth Fraser
9. Rage Against the Machine - Gratitude ( The Beastie Boys) - Before RATM, there was The Beasties... i'm a big fan of both , it would be such a delight, to hear them covering Beasties
10. Maroon 5 - Space Cowboy ( Jamiroquai)- Well im not a big fan of Maroon 5 , but it's interesting how would they approach the song
11. Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Call Me ( Rick James ) - More Funkier , More Groovier?
12. The Doors - Green eyed Lady (Sugarloaf)- This would be for Ray Manzarek more than for Jim Morrisson. i'm a bigger Manzarek fan than Morrisson's
13. The Clash - And She Was ( The Talking Heads)- Clashy Talking Heads Song, i just wonder what if this was a Clash Song
14. The Who - We Gotta Get out of this Place (The Animals) - Pete Townshead and company could have made a better ending..
15. Jamiroquai - Brick House ( The Commodores) - Yeah we all loved Jamiroquai's funky and Groovy tunes, What if he was a part of the Lionel Richie Led The Commodores?
16. Dream Theater - Yours is No disgrace (Yes) - This was supposed to be a Rush Song , but since i already found some DT cover of Rush Songs
another good cover would be Yes , and just now i found a couple of Yes Song Covered by Dream Theater.. oh well
17. David Bowie - Close To Me (The Cure ) or Better Than Heaven ( Bloc Party) - I wonder how would Ziggy Stardust fare on these 2 songs.. though it already sound Bowie-sh to me.
18. John Mayer - What Difference does it make ( The Smiths) - JM is one talented musician, just as how i was surprised to hear him Doing a Jimi Hendrix, i'm just curious on how would he fare on a Moz Classic , i wanna see myself in an "No f'***** way " in awe moment .
19. Lady Gaga - Strange Love ( Depeche Mode) - Just as how im entertained by Marilyn Manson, Lady Gaga would be another Clown/Musician, but undeniably the talent is evident as much as her gimmicks.. i just wonder how would Lady G. would take on my Favorite DM song.
20. Throw/ Dead Ends - MTV Get Off The Air / Too Drunk too f*** ( Dead Kennedys) - Yes, We have already heard Al Dimalanta sang " I dont wanna sound like Jello Biafra, I dont want to sound but they say i do - (from "Nothing i can do" - Second Coming Album)... But for Fans Perspective A Dead Ends/Throw Cover of A DK song is something to cheers about, or in a different perspective, would they really sound like Dead Kennedys??
21. Put3ska - Jungle ( Red Session) / Wagon Train Ska ( The Rhyt-O Matics) - If Put3ska is still in tow, i would certainly wanna hear them more of a Third wave Ska-ish - with some element on it (like Swing in this song)... The Groove would perfectly Fit Myra's flambouyant personality on stage.
Geez now i miss em. THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER on this planet.
22. Shuffle Union - A love Song ( Ego Wrappin') - No We are not Looking for another Myra. We would want another personality just like how Rhoda Dakkar co exist with Pauline Black . Mae is undeniably one great talent ,Shuffle Union was a promising Ska band, left in an uncertainty(?) we would want them back as much as we wanted to see more of MANILA SKA FEST
23. Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - Sesame Street End Theme - Funky and Captivating Sound not only for young , but for young at heart ... No one i think can do justice on this song but the Pioneers TSPO.
24. Prodigy - Tommorow Never Knows ( The Beatles) - This Beatle Track was Futuristic already when it was released in 1966. But i wonder how further it can go, had Prodigy has to do it their way.
25.Mike Patton / Faith No More - Wild Flower ( Skylark)- Mike Patton has a very unique and great Voice. FNM's Version of a Lionel Richie Classic "Easy" proved .. he disd a pretty good job , that i felt the Song Wild Flower was atailor fit for him as well.
There are still some song that are bubbling under, but i guess long list will be freaking boring..
Would love to hear/see your list

OF CHOOSING TO BE SINGLE
I had this conversation with some friends ( not really actually)
that are teasing a common friend , being left behind because , treated as something she lacks of
deprived of, because she doesnt have a special someone ( a boyfriend, partner or husband for that matter)
well i feel uncool for her, though i know she doesnt mind ...
i feel more sorry for the narrow minded persons who thought
being single is something deregatory or sad situation.
Here's a cheers for the Single women i know
Huge Respect and Admiration
I
OO dalaga pa ako
sapagakat pinili ko
bakit hindi mo baga maunawa
bakit itinuturing mo akong kaawaawa?
II
Dalaga pa ako sapagkat mas ninais ko
na sundin ang ang pangarap ko at ng magulang ko
Isang bagay na pinili ko
isang bagay na pinakaprayoridad ko
III
Mali kung iisipin mo na malungkot ang buhay ko
itinuturing kong ngang isang biyaya na nananatiling malaya ako
nagagawa ko ang nasa ng puso ko
ng walang masyadong isipin at istorbo
IV
Hindi kakulangan sa pagkatao ko ang walang nobyo
Sapat ang pamilya ko para maging maligaya ako
ang sukatan ba ng buhay para sa iyo
yung makakuha ng Nobyo upang mapangasawa mo?
V
Dili nga ba't sa inyo din galing
mga kwentong may luha kasama ng maraming daing
Hirap at Bigat ng kalooban na lubos na dinaramdam
sa dalas tila ba di mapaparam
VI
Sa mga karanasan ninyo Natuto ako
sa mga kwento ninyo naging matalino ako
ang pagpasok sa isang relasyon ay hindi madali
kaya't masisisi mo ba kung ako ay mapili?
VII
Ang halaga ng buhay ay may ibat ibang kahulugan
hindi natatali sa pagaasawa ang kabuluhan
ni hindi ko itinuturing na kakulangan
dahil dito ligtas naman ako sa mga sama ng kalooban
VIII
Dumating man ang panahon na akoy tumanda na
at ang pagaasawa ay nakaligtaan ko na
Ang inyong sinasabi bagang Malaking kakulangan
ay itinuturing ko nga na isang Malaking Kalayaan
