    Great cover and definitely an 80s song to remember.
    Here's the original by Chris Isaak.

    Great Dutch band. The Outsiders! The lead singer died in 2005 and his name was Wally Tax. :D

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    You got that right.

    A glass of wine or two and this is a good song...

    Maybe if Janis Joplin could sing Sam Cooke this way? Hmmm...

    Some of these guys have branched out on other trails. CB III, Charlie Bonnet III has done some good music and video. Southern Country/Rock sound , like Lynard Skynard sound.
    Simple Shoes, Living on Borrowed Minutes, HillBilly Rock Star are a few of the new, better songs. --

    Caution: Some naughty words
    I went to visit a friend who was feeling down, the guy who said he would always be there for her and love here forever had lied.
    After a while she played this and felt better, no longer angry, just better for having expressed herself through her own words and those of Alanis.
    Love this live version

    Oh man... I got a great one... for those 80's children out there (yes, the hairbands, kiss of death, 80's music) you would surely remember that song by Chris Isaak called Wicked Games. It would be hard to forget... that drop dead gorgeous model with such killer, piercing eyes, they almost hypnotized you... getting a little more than "frisky" on the beach.

    As her and Isaak get more and more hot and heavy, sand sticking to their skin, bikini bottom coming dangerously close to being explicit... the video made almost half the song. Well... some ladies did a remake, and I'm here to tell ya... they blow Chris Isaak clear off the planet, not just out of the water.

    I discovered this from just a short clip of the song on a car commercial, and knew it'd be the 'goosebump' kinda melody. Give it a listen... it starts out a bit slow, but just take in the background and listen to that voice... as an entire orchestra comes in behind her... #chills

    That 2nd one nailed me... def hit it on the head with that one. It remains my absolute favorite song to this day... more or less. I must add, though... it's nothing without Amy Lee... period.

    I've always liked their music... as reluctant as I was to accept them and give recognition where credit was due... I couldn't lie to my true self. I couldn't help but like their stuff.

    As a grown man that rarely ever cries, let alone break down sobbing like a baby... as this song had me doing... I had no choice but to acknowledge the song's impact and admit it got to me. Although, for anyone that's had their child(ren) taken away from them, I don't see it being possible for anyone like that to fight tears while listening to this song as if it were in reference to that loss.

    I may have went a little overboard with sharing that... Sorry... I know most people find it awkward and uncomfortable with someone 'bearing their soul' but if it helps or is any comic relief to the depressing vibe at all, please note my mood is quite the opposite of this, now! And hey... we all like a good, sad song once in a while, right?

    This must be one of the greatest voices in pop music ever.
    Linda Perry's vocal talent will stay with me until the end...

    Love him or hate him...
    Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light from the album Bat out of Hell is a classic.
    The duet with Ellen Foley is one of the best ever.
    The video shows Karla DeVito lip syncing to Foley's vocals.

    I wish I had a piano ... or a keyboard, either one. I've always loved the sound of a piano, but other than playing "Lean on Me" with just my right hand, I never had the opportunity to tickle any ivory. I sure did develop some pretty thick calluses on my finger tips though, during my obsession with playing guitar!

    I would like to find a simple, cheap keyboard ... because... I have one song in particular I want to learn reaaaally badly. It's simple, consistent (sounding like only 3 chords), and the tempo is nice and slow. WARNING! This is another extremely sad song! Hehe... sorry! Great song, though. I will learn to play it one of these days... even if I have to go to church and stay a bit longer after everyone's left! :p

    Are there any vocally strong females to sing harmony with me on this? I can totally fit the profile of the skinny, fro-headed, geeky looking guy wearing glasses playing the piano :p

    Just a thought... an idea that might not quite conform to the overall purpose of this thread... but... would anyone have any interest in sharing their own musical talents via video recording? I would totally be willing to kick it off. I'd play 'Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There?' on guitar, making sure to include a shot of this thread on my monitor for authenticity :p while also keeping my face out of it. Haha...

    You never know. We may pick up a few things from other 'musicians' just messing around on here... I'd love to see someone with skills that clearly surpass my own. And no, that's not a challenge... I seriously would love to learn from someone like that... pick up any pointers I could, or possibly get some good advice.

    This was one of my top all-time favorite songs before I saw this video ... which just adds another big layer of awesomeness to it. Absolutely LOVE their music... and this song is on my top 3, if not #1.

    Tool - Lateralus
    Set to scenes from the Hubble telescope AND subtitled commentary describing a pattern theory within the song ;)
