Night shift. Smooth remake with a sexier vibe. :pimp:

Original 1985 version by the Commodores is good too. Though it can't help but sound dated compared to this one.

Bob Marley's Waiting in Vain is a classic:



Annie Lennox's remake is also excellent...I won't say better, but she shows mad respect for the original while still having her own unique sound:

Always liked the Ataris cover of Boys of Summer
hI93w0OV6D8

Also Quietdrives cover of Time after Time aint that bad, pretty good one to make out with a girl too as well :banana: (which one you choose obviously depends on the girl/age)

Also, for the Deustche....good covers of 99 Luftballons (I really like the Goldfinger one, but the germans always like the second better)

Something I've been thinking about for a long time, I think it'd be pretty sweet if we could come up with (or share) some playlists off of spotify that we maybe use at different times with chicas (if anyone else on here uses it, I think its a pretty badass app myself.)

I love how Placebo took this poppy whiny song:



and turned it into a dark, twisted, raw song which so much better encapsulates the lyrics (IMO anyway)



Check out their live version too, its epic.
