Members Tedddy Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 'Bitch' by Meredith Brooks is probably the most over-done female cover. Everytime I hear someone sing it, my irritation increases exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THX1138 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hailstorm - Newer band, chic singer, lotta radio airplay at the moment. "I Get Off" & "It's Not You" are killer tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I hear someone sing it, my irritation increases exponentially. Agreed! The song isn't even good to begin with and then you add the humiliation it has taken with the advent of karaoke and then get an actual rock singer up there embarassing herself with it... This song must be banned. And who the hell decided it was rock? It's country/folk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Two songs that go over awesome: - Zombie (so easy, as well, at least for the band if not the singer ) - Bring Me To Life (not easy, but worth it) For some reason, chicks in the audience seem to dig Zombie. Gets them every time. I have no idea why. GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreenAsJade Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've also been thinking about doing this one http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2460205 (is it OK to cover a song that's only just come out, from an fellow band here at HC?!)

Members GreenAsJade Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 The "don't do male songs, especially Muse" crowd will shoot me, but Hysteria goes down well for us also... GaJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RobRoy Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 Done well, people will get into that big time.Meredith Brooks - Bitch99 red balloons, somewhere between the original and the goldfinger versions. It's a "chick song" but goldfinger shows how it can be rocked up. Our keyboard player who shares the lead vocal role is attempting to do that one for us in German - The original version. She took several years of German and spent some time there. We'll see how it goes. We figure it will give it an interesting twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scafeets Posted November 19, 2009 Members Share Posted November 19, 2009 It doesn't have to be a "girl tune" either.Our female lead singer does killer versions of "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Hard to Handle". Of the "chick singer songs" we do Carrie Underwood's "Last Name" and Gretchen Wilson's "Here for the Party" a lot harder than the original records.
