Lyrics game - all covers edition

[michiexile]

Here another one of the Lyrics Game. This time, all are covers, and I'm looking for title, original artist and the cover I have in mind. As usual, you will get first lines for all songs, and each of the three information bits, if correct, will earn you one point.

I will unscreen comments as they are checked for correctness; any comments that have arrived before I unscreen are eligible for the points, any that come later with the same information are not. I forgot to set the flag to screen comments. Oops.

1. There are places I’ll remember
   In My Life, orig. by The Beatles, covered by Johnny Cash
   lederhosen all, silmaril orig. and title, longobord orig.

3. And what costume shall the poor girl wear
   All tomorrow's parties, orig. by Velvet Underground and Nico covered by Apoptygma Berzerk.
   lederhosen and reynardo picked the title. krfsm picked all artists.
   
4. I hurt myself today

   lederhosen, longobord, reynardo, maradydd picked it all.
   
5. Riders on the storm

   lederhosen, reynardo and silmaril picked title and orig. artist. longobord picked all three.
   
6. Your own personal Jesus
   Personal Jesus, orig. by Depeche Mode covered by Johnny Cash
   lederhosen, longobord and maradydd picked all, reynardo picked title and original artist right.
   
7. Come with me into the trees
   Stripped, orig. by Depeche Mode covered by Rammstein
   reynardo and lederhosen picked this.
   
8. When I was seventeen
   It was a very good year, covered by Robbie Williams
   reynardo picked the title, dominicflandry picked the cover artist.
   
9. Mesdames et messieurs, nos avons l'honneur ce soir

   Das Model orig. by Kraftwerk cover by Rammstein
   All picked by fluffboll.
   
10. How lucky can one guy be?
    Ain't that a kick to the head, orig. by Dean Martin, covered by Robbie Williams
    dominicflandry picked it all.
    

I won't tell you not to google; but if you do and then realize you should have known, give the other contestants some time to think of it of their own before you submit? Also, just googling it all is too easy, and not quite sportsmanlike, is it?

For 5, we're still seeking the cover artist, who released the cover/remix on their latest studio album in 2009.

For 8, we're still seeking the original artist.

1. "In My Life," The Beatles, the only cover I know of is Bette Midler.
5. "Riders on the Storm," The Doors; no idea of any covers whatsoever.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

Gah, why didn't I get this one before? I actually played this, too...

2. "Hallelujah," Leonard Cohen, and again I have no idea what cover we're talking about.

[maradydd.livejournal.com]

2. "Hallelujah", originally by Leonard Cohen. The cover artist could be Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, Justin Timberlake, John Cale, Allison Crowe, k.d. lang, Tim Minchin, or any one of several dozen other people; it's one of the most-covered songs in history.

4. "Hurt", originally by Nine Inch Nails, most famously covered by Johnny Cash.

6. "Personal Jesus", originally by Depeche Mode, and I'm guessing either Johnny Cash or Marilyn Manson for the cover artist.

7. "Black Celebration", also by Depeche Mode, no idea on the cover artist.

[reynardo.livejournal.com]

2. Halleluliah, original by Leonard Cohen, I'm guessing Jeff Buckley
3. All tomorrow's parties, Velvet Underground, can't think who's done a cover
4. Hurt, NIN, Johnny Cash
5. Riders on the Storm, the Doors, again I can't think who's covered it.
6. Personal Jesus, Depeche Mode, Marilyn Manson
7. Stripped, Depeche Mode, Rammstein
8. It was a very good year, Charles Aznavour (misspelled because I'm being good and not googling) and I know it's been covered, but I'm guessing you're not referring to the 1972 Toyota ad?

#1 is a Beatles song. Uh...

Well #2 is obviously from Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, which has been covered a number of times. Perhaps you're thinking of Rufus Wainwright? John Cale? Jeff Buckley?

4 is obviously Hurt from NIN. I can't think of who would have covered it since the original is so nifty. (Although a google search reveals that Johnny Cash covered this and it's interesting, although I don't believe as good as the original.)

5 is the name of a song by the doors... Covered?

And 6 is also the name of a song by Depeche Mode... but now that I think about it, Johnny Cash did an amazing cover.

#1 is from a Beatles song

[longobord.livejournal.com]

Doh! It was Infected Mushroom that did the Riders on the Storm remix. I kept thinking about that but couldn't put a name on the band. Did they do the song at the show we went to? I vaguely remember...

My parents used to sing that "when I was seventeen" song from #8. Sinatra?

[michiexile]

YES! Infected Mushroom did the remix of Riders on the Stom on their new Legends of the Black Shawarma album. I'm pretty sure they performed it for us too.

8 still isn't Sinatra in original. ;-) He covered someone else.

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

#1 - "In My Life", Beatles... did Johnny Cash do this one?
#2 - "Hallelujah", Leonard Cohen, just about everybody - guessing Jeff Buckley.
#3 - "All Tomorrow's Parties", Lou Reed... guessing Roxy Music, Iva Davies also covered this one.
#4 - "Hurt", NIN, Johnny Cash.
#5 - "Riders on the Storm", Doors, no idea.
#6 - "Personal Jesus", Depeche Mode, Johnny Cash.
#7 - "Stripped", DM again, Rammstein.
#8 - I think Statler and Waldorf covered this.

Robbie Williams does both 8 and 10 on his cover-album "Swing when you're winning".
8 is Frank Sinatra, 10 is "Ain't that a kick in the head" with Dean Martin.

[michiexile]

Frank Sinatra was responsible for making 8 catch on, but he didn't do the original version, nor was it written with him in mind.

#3: Original: The Velvet Underground and Nico, cover (and a remix) by Apoptygma Berzerk.

[krfsm.livejournal.com]

To be precise about the cover/remix remark: they did a remix with new a music track but the original lyrics (as "Nico vs. Apoptygma Berserk") which appeared in 2003 or 2004, and a cover version (with what's his face - Stefan Grohl? - singing) that appeared on the Soli Deo Gloria album in 1993!

[michiexile]

I had the Soli Deo Gloria version in mind.

9 should be the Rammstein cover by Kraftwerk's Das model I believe. :)

original artist for number 8

... Was it Frank Sinatra? (I know he's sung it; but I'm not 100% sure he was the original singer)

Re: original artist for number 8

Oh rats, just seen that someone else suggested Sinatra for #8, please ignore/delete the previous comment then.
