songs you wish Stevie had recorded

[JazmenFlowers]

what song(s) do you think Stevie would have done a good job on...maybe better than the original?

I don't know if I think they'd be better, but I'd kill to hear Stevie's version of Call Me, These Dreams and Total Eclipse of the Heart.

[amber]

Faster than the Speed of Night, It's a Jungle Out There, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bette Davis Eyes. I did this without reading yours.

[JazmenFlowers]

I'd also like to hear Stevie sing Stealing Kisses and You're Still Here. both by Faith Hill.

[BTFLCHLD]

I would like to see her do more kick-ass tunes like rocknroll. I am dosed on nyquil at the moment, so I can't think of a particular song...I am out of it tonight (no chiming-in that I always am!) ;)

why didn't you share?

you still planning to hit the beach? listen to what I told you earlier.

but yeah, I agree with you here. I don't know why but I've always wanted to hear Stevie sing some of Meatloaf's big hits. (that's not really where you were going with your post, but it made me think about it) :shrug:

[BTFLCHLD]

why didn't you share? you still planning to hit the beach? listen to what I told you earlier. There isn't any left!! :lol: Yeah, I know, I will see how am in the morning and will try not to be too pouty if my plans turn south. Good news...colds don't last forever! :D

i agree about call me. in fact, the bar next door to the place i work was playing that tonight and i had that very thought.

i'd love to hear stevie do some babs. the way we were and a sleepin' bee come to mind. and if she still had the vocal range, i think she could totally tear up cyndi lauper's sisters of avalon.

damn girl. you got that mind working don't you. that would be awesome. can you imagine...a Stevie album full of Broadway standards? :blob2:

ps - I can't stand A Sleepin' Bee.

i know, right??? that's exactly where i was going. ooh, i'll have some fun coming up with a tracklist.

you don't like a sleepin' bee? i really do. it's so cool and intimate.

i want to hear babs and stevie do a duet on "piece of sky." omgomgomgomg. this is my new dream.

oh bitch...you've done it now. I must go change.

[carrie721]

no joke. dude, i don't care how egotistical people say she is, when she did that yentl medley duet with herself on her 94 tour, i almost shat myself.

almost...

picture it...my first time ever really hearing/seeing Barbra (much like Stevie and The Dance). she hit that note and I felt a little movement, you know?

oh how that marriage license works on chamber maids and hotel clerks
the honeymoon was such delight that we got married that same night

- oh to be a Sadie -

we have so threadjacked my own thread.

haha, whoops!

when i first heard that song, i totally did not understand the implication of that honeymoon line at all ... people have sex before marriage? no way.

[strandinthewind]

Though the origial is VERY hard to beat - I would love her to sing The Rose.

holy hell. I think that's the best one yet.

[strandinthewind]

I think the WH/Mirage era voice would suit it best, but the Rumors era voice could have been cool and The Dance/Enchanted voice would have been way interesting.

For grins, the SA tour voice would have been cool too.

totally

and for shits and giggles, I wouldn't mind present-day voice.

have we covered every era yet?:)

nope! i think coffee plant demos-era stevie would sound great harmonizing with herself on the rose.

Genius. Times 2.

[desertangel]

Black Velvet... did anyone tape her doing this song at a private gig several years ago? Wish I coulda been there!

Laura

[StreetAngel86]

so many choices
I Love Rock & Roll
that would have been SO awesome

and ditto with The Rose
not to diminish Bette's KICK ASS version tho
i will accept a duet :D
and I would still love to see Stevie do Stay With Me :shocked:

[petep9000]

I would love to hear Stevie's version of two songs that were originally presented to her but she rejected: 'Love Will Find A Way' by Yes and 'Just Like Jesse James' which was later recorded by Cher.

[strandinthewind]

I also think Stevie could do an interesting version of "Troy" by Sineaud O'Conner. But, she'd had to sing the shiitte out of it :nod:

[ELIUD]

Love "Troy" and Sinead. Love "Stay with Me". That would be incredibly perfect.
I would like her to sing "Dancing Barefoot" by Patti Smith and "Hey Pretty" by Poe. Her current voice could handle both these songs quite well.

[David]

I wish Stevie & Lindsey had recorded "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" in a Roseanne Cash-like manner. Back around '86 ... maybe for Tango.

[laurarox]

"ONE" by U2 or "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" by Guns and Roses (with Fleetwood Mac, cuz Lindsay needs to do the guitar solo.)

[EveryHour]

I am quite often listening to a song and I can't help but go right into hearing Stevie doing the song. It just comes out of nowhere. The one that comes to mind at the moment......I've been obsessively listening to Keane's Hopes And Fears album and I would really love Stevie to do "Everybody's Changing". The beat brings up visions of treadmills and I think the lyrics and melody would suit Stevie so well. I can totally see her at her mic, holding it with one hand, bouncing to the beat and singing in her sweet-forceful voice. (Not that I've given it any thought.........;) )

[Serrart]

Many... just some:
All apologies - Nirvana
Mrs Leroy Brown - Loretta Lynn
If you want me to stay - Sly and The Family Stone
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas - George Gershwin
Sinner Man - Nina Simone
High and Dry - Radiohead
Manha de Carnaval - Bonfa & Maria
Don't give up - Peter Gabriel
My Funny Valentine - Rodgers & Hart
Down on Me - Janis Joplin
I'll be seeing you - Kahal & Sammy Fain

Beautiful!

[ELIUD]

"Redemption Day" is perfect for her Tiff. I've always thought Sheryl Crow was channeling Stevie's harmony on that song. The low harmony. Good one!

[priestofnothing]

I've been saying this for 20-25 years now, but

"Magic Man" by Heart - fits her image/persona perfectly - Stevie could do a bitchin' version of this I'm sure... come on home girl..... try to understand.... try try try to understand mama.... oooooooohhhh he's got the magic hands.... (screaming waddy guitar solo....)


also -

"Darkening of the Light" by Concrete Blonde:

And the leaves
At my feet
Whisper sounds so familiar
Whisper, so familiar, are you there
Are you there

Where the clouds
pull apart
and the moon changes faces
in the quiet, secret places
are you there are you there?

(tremendous harmony dubs on this - so Stevie - Stevie/Sharona!)

also - "Blue" by Joni Mitchell, Serrart mentioned that.... hadn't thought of that, but I agree! Love Sarah McLachlin's version of that as well!

[carrie721]

omg, she also has to do babs's "evergreen" for sure!!!

ok, here's my fantasy tracklist ...

barbra streisand's "evergreen"
nico's "these days"
melissa etheridge's "you can sleep while i drive"
tom petty's "refugee"
barbra's "a piece of sky" (as a duet with babs, of course)
bette midler's "shiver me timbers"
bette's "the rose"
joni mitchell's "case of you"
otis reddings's "i've been loving you"
cyndi lauper's "fearless"

that's all i can come up with right now ...

[ragandbone]

I would like her to sing "Dancing Barefoot" by Patti Smith
That would be an excellent choice!
I would like to hear her sing "St. Teresa" by Joan Osborne.

[JohnL]

if Stevie would remake I Cant Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt!!

[carrie721]

oh man, i totally meant to add that to my list last night! totally. :thumbsup:

[JazmenFlowers]

for sure. that would be amazing.

I was just thinking about Stevie singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - well, a boy can dream.

[carrie721]

[JazmenFlowers]

see...ho's think alike cause I swear I was going to say that one too. :D

[chiliD]

Ok, I didn't read through every post of this thread...anyone else mention:

"Ways To Be Wicked" (Lone Justice)
"If She Knew What She Wants" (The Bangles)
"Envy" (The Motels)
"Take The L" (The Motels)

[ELIUD]

Stevie's voice + any song = better version of said song.
AGREED'D!
And thank you for the comments on the banners. That's really cool about your message board. Cartoon Stevie rocks!

[Rickypt]

"Ways To Be Wicked" (Lone Justice)


Ya beat me to it. Petty wrote that one (which you probably already know).

I'd say Stevie could do a great job with a lot of Lone Justice/Maria McKee songs. Particularly "Shelter", which always sounded like a Stevie song anyway.

[ELIUD]

"Shelter" is another great one! Along time ago...when I was a retard...I used to imagine Maria McKee was Stevie's daughter that she gave up for adoption.
