The same but not.

I love covers of songs. I've bought a couple of tribute albums, and have more on my wishlist, because it's fascinating to hear new artists do old and sometimes too familiar songs. Today I made a playlist, and a lot of it is just readily available stuff (from the Shrek soundtracks, for instance) because ... um, because. Here's the list. Any suggestions for songs to add?

Ring of Fire, Social Distortion
I'm Not Down, Thea Gilmore
Brown-Eyed Girl, Reel Big Fish
Roxanne, Fall Out Boy
It's Going to Take Some Time, Dishwalla (the Carpenters! so awesome)
Darling Nikki, Foo Fighters
Under Pressure, My Chemical Romance and The Used
Valerie, Panic at the Disco
U.S. Blues, The Harshed Mellows
You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go, Shawn Colvin
I'm Looking Through You, The Wallflowers
Atlantic City, The Band
Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Dwight Yoakam
Two of Us, Aimee Mann and Michael Penn
Deal, Dr. John
Hallelujah, Rufus Wainwright
Bad Reputation, Half Cocked
Every Little Thing He Does Is Magic, Shawn Colvin
Wall of Death, REM
