I'm still lost as to why some of these covers are "ironic".

they are straight cash-grabs for mediocre bands


The "ironic" is when a 250-lb tatoo-covered doofus screams "Because I gotta have FAAAAAITH" at the top of his lungs, evoking images of George Michael singing it originally.

I think they are 'ironic' because that implies that the song isn't a classic that most bands would do at some point. Its a "remember this song? what if we punked it up?" ala Smooth Criminal.

I haven't heard this, but would probably veer into oncoming traffic if I did.

well, yeah, I get that one, but Boys of Summer for example was just a straight cover for a band needing some cash

But still, it fits the general mode...Mall punk band covers Don Henley.
Bizkit covers Faith (I think this may be the fist squirrgle)
Vanilla Ice covers himself (therefore saving us from Sum 41 doing it.

Now metal-to-pop could be good. There's some material to work with there.

This made me laugh, cause I actually read it right the first time with that noise in my head.


If nothing else, I aim for accuracy.
