Songs you would like Alizée to do covers
 

We saw that Alizée did Nena's 99 Red Balloons in Moscow. She has no problem singing English songs. Personally I would have like to had heard it in German with a French Accent. :D

To use and example AC/DC put out Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Joan Jett did an outstanding cover of it.
I like Joan's version better. :p

So I'll start this thread with one I think she could do a cover really well.
I don't want songs named I want to see it or hear it by it's original band. Find it on Youtube or some site like it.

We know she is a rocker at heart so lets give her some ideas for the future. Lets see how creative and music knowledgeable you guys are.:)

Let the Alizée Rock begin.

Why I picked this song is because it can be sung by a guy or a girl with out changing the lyrics. Plus is has a great beat and lot's of music only time for her to strut her stuff and do some dancing for the audience.

The Band: Spirit
Year released: 1968
The Song: I Got A Line On You

Yesterday by Beatles. Suits her voice perfectly.

Like A Prayer by Madonna.

spirit in the sky

The Final Countdown, as made famous by EUROPE!


*THE HAIR! THE HAIR!*:D

Two votes for this, or maybe Imagine by John Lennon.

Songs I think may work for her:

- "Love Is The Drug" - Roxy Music
- "Babooshka" - Kate Bush
- "It's Oh So Quiet" - Bjork
- "Crucify" - Tori Amos

hmmm Dragula?.................no...........maybe

Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson
Heaven - Byan Adams
Truly, Madly, Deeply - Savage Garden
Your Song - Elton John

Oh you had to make this thread. Oh god, I can feel my fingers, they are just dying to do this.

With respects to the original writers, I think a little re-orchestration could need doing on the marked songs (*).

Achilles Last Stand* - Led Zeppelin (perhaps renamed, Alizée's Last Stand :p)
Jumpin Jack Flash - Rolling Stones
Badge - Cream
Love of my Life - Queen (I would just melt if she did this :D)
Battle of Evermore* - Led Zeppelin (I would melt further if she sang this duet with me :p)
Pinball Wizard* - The Who
Sunshine of Your Love - Cream
Dancing in the Street - the many bands who covered this song, Jagger/Bowie, Van Halen, etc.
Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes
Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (we might need to break this 26 minute song into something more accessible :D)
Yesterday - Beatles (come on, its automatic)
Blackbird - Beatles (sort of rough on the rhythmic structure and timing, but she could pull it off :wub:)
Bicycle Race - Queen (I would DIE if she did this song, die of her cuteness)
Don't Stop Believing* - Journey
Amsterdam - Coldplay (I :wub: this song)
Money - Pink Floyd (I think I would just melt if she did anything from this list :wub:)
Smooth Operator - Sade (she better make hire me to play the Sax for this one :p)
Crossroads - Cream (okay, this one isn't serious, but I just had to put this one on cause i'm playing it atm :p)

Of course, try not to imagine the original songs and thinking about how they WON'T fit Alizée. Rather, think about how Alizée would sound, try to imagine her put on the song as a concert, place her voice in, refine the song as neatly as you can to suit Alizée's tone and timbre, and we've got ourselves some hot stuff.

I have to play synthesizer for my selection.:D

I'll play anything she wants me to. :wub:

[Alizee]: Mister barrett, can you play this one-string acoustic bass with a broken toothpick whilst wearing a sombrero.
[TheBarrett]: Hah, do not tease me, tis an easy task I shall completeth for you.

(although i'd prefer being a backup singer/lead guitarist :p)

I wouldnt mind being her dance partner =)
**drools**

Hurt the Johnny Cash version. Wouldn't be a dry eye in the house.

Can't think of the name but well here it goes
Celion Dion (pardon the spelling) did the song from titanic.

"Amber" by 311 :wub:

Anything from left-field. I'd die to hear something completely off the wall like Motorhead - "Ograsmatron" or "Love Me Like A Reptile"

Cherish by The Association
She would have to change a few words, however I have been hearing her sing this song for the last year and she would be amazing (her accent on some of the words would be beyond cute).

Let Go by Imogen Heap or YMCA, whichever she likes best :cool:

This is the Otis Redding version, but i think it could be 'modified' slightly for a certain Corsican. And i bet it would be fantastic. :)

hmm...right said fred's i'm too sexy?:p

I don't think Jeremy would be too thrilled if his wife started singing
"I can't get no satisfaction" :p

ah thats awesome

i wouldn't mind hearing Personal Jesus

Raise your hand if you care what Jeremy thinks? ;):rolleyes:

Tears in Heaven. The house is officially brought to it's knees.:wub:

Apologize!
 

she'd be playing on the new songs. kinda bring out a more cooler side n her. i jus love dat song.

What I would give to be HER Keith Richards. :D

Now i've just had the most odd fantasies of her singing Immigrant Song. Of course in the more hard-riffed fast-paced style of the Zep's live shows, mixed with some echo and her accented vocals for an almost epic feel.

Now we need a Clapton don't we.
(raises hand)
:D

Perhaps Bohemian Rhapsody, and some stage effects like pyrotechnics and smokescreens, sort of like a rock opera, mixed with play, Les Enfoires style.

(if she needs a piano player :D)

Just as long as she is not playing it for the same reasons he did. :eek: :(

;)

Lets um, hope not. :)

Some slipknot...... or Mudvayne.....

well really ... I am the Walrus.......... "Clocks by Coldplay"!!!!! I dont know if she could sing that one pleasantly though... the "Youuuu Are....." part... Dave Mathews - Where are you going...

Some slowish rock pop type songs like coldplay and dave mathews


I think if she did Gloria Estefan - Conga It'd be absolutely halarious but totallly unbelievably awesome if she did it Well!

Beer by Reel Big Fish. Enough said.

Woot Ska, =P
Maybe she could pull off "SR (the many versions of)"

A homage to her mentor and do an MF title, or duet with Moby on Crier La Vie. :p

caravane by raphael

tandem by vanessa paradis

avant que l'ombre by mylene farmer

I want to see her do a classic rock n roll song, and appear onstage with a guitar! :eek::D

+1 :p :cool:

I'll one up my previous post.
A GIBSON guitar, :p

Irene Cara "What a Feeling"
