Cool thread Jacob!

Let's see...I would want to do things that go with my singing voice, despite the fact that I'd be tempted to do Christina Aguilera's "Come On Over Baby" and Third Eye Blind's "Farther."

I would definitely have to do

Carly Simon's "Anticipation" and
John Lennon's "Imagine"
I would want to do an FM cover, and "Sara" immediately comes to mind, but I'm afraid listeners would find my version even more boring than the original studio version.

Wildflowers-Tom Petty
Ordinary World-Duran Duran
Dance Without Sleeping-Melissa Etheridge
