What songs have you enjoyed covering in a live setting or on record?

Prodigal's Return - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

my band does a pretty great (if I do say so myself) version of ZZ Top's horrible "Manic Mechanic".

God is my co-pilot 'Sound of wings'
The Bangles 'In your room'
Sonic Youth 'Kotton Crown'
Leadbelly 'St. james infirmary'
Misfits '20 eyes'
Heavens To Betsy 'Axe Men'
Bikini Kill 'Feels Blind'
The Clash 'Bankrobber'
Black Sabbath 'Supernaut'

these are the ones I played either live or recorded versions of with various bands I was or is in

I don't know this song, but I'm intrigued.

Rising Shotgun was very fond of the cover song. Most we'd only play once or twice. Here are a few:

Chuck Berry: "Run Rudolph Run"
David Allan Coe: "Spotlight"
Bob Dylan (arr.): "Baby Let Me Follow You Down"
Fleetwood Mac: "Go Your Own Way"
Charles Manson: "Ego"
MC5: "Looking at You"
Melanie: "Some Say (I Got Devil)"
Lou Reed: "Shooting Star"
Rolling Stones: "Street Fighting Man"
Sex Pistols: "Did You No Wrong"
Rod Stewart: "True Blue"
The Stooges: "Loose"
Swamp Dogg: "Total Destruction to Your Mind"
Leslie West: "Baby I'm Down"

Swamp Dogg cover! So cool!

Beat Happening Hey Day
Unwound Mkultra
Neil Young Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
Crop Circle Hoax If You Do


My high school band attempted a very awful version of Ned's Atomic Dustbin's Intact. I cringe just thinking about it.
