Songs you would like Alizée to do covers

[ALS]

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.

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.

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

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

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 )
Jumpin Jack Flash - Rolling Stones
Badge - Cream
Love of my Life - Queen (I would just melt if she did this )
Battle of Evermore* - Led Zeppelin (I would melt further if she sang this duet with me )
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 )
Yesterday - Beatles (come on, its automatic)
Blackbird - Beatles (sort of rough on the rhythmic structure and timing, but she could pull it off )
Bicycle Race - Queen (I would DIE if she did this song, die of her cuteness)
Don't Stop Believing* - Journey
Amsterdam - Coldplay (I this song)
Money - Pink Floyd (I think I would just melt if she did anything from this list )
Smooth Operator - Sade (she better make hire me to play the Sax for this one )
Crossroads - Cream (okay, this one isn't serious, but I just had to put this one on cause i'm playing it atm )

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.
