The obscure cover version quiz

[karohemd]

This is smaller than the others because I don't have that much time.
You not only need to get the track right but also the exact artist I have sitting on my hard drive:
All titles guessed, now you need the cover artists.

We have our first winner!

1) Everyone around love them, love them/Put it in your hands/Take it take it/There's no time to cry
Shiny Happy People by feanelwa
2) You dont have money or a fancy car/And youre tired of wishin on a falling star/You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
God Gave Rock'n'Roll to You identified by snapesbabe and cryx
3) We're leaving together/But still it's farewell/And maybe we'll come back/To earth, who can tell
The Final Countdown by Laibach identified by devalmont, madwitch only knew the title
4) Hey window pain do you remember/How sweet it used to be/When we were together
I Can't Stand the Rain identified by madwitch
5) There were three gypsies coming to my hall door/Down the stairs ran this lady-o/One sang high and the other sang low
Raggle Taggle Gypsy/ies correctly identified by purpleheather
6) You let me violate you/You let me desecrate you/You let me penetrate you.
feanelwa knows the version of Closer I'm referring to but not the artst, shame. snapesbabe, razornet and cryx also know the title.

Comments screened. I'll post correct answers as they come in.
As a hint: with the exception of one, I have played them all during one of my DJ sets.

title is correct, artist isn't. ;o)

[cryx]

5) i had to sing for my singing exam when I was 15, but i bet it's not me on your harddrive.
6) closer - non

[cryx]

yeah.. i know I won't get these, but then I've never heard you DJ!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Which is a shame!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Titles are correct.
6, no, he didn't.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Title absolutely correct but wrong artist. This one is really mean.
There's only one person on my friends list who will know it for definite, and possibly one or two others, depending if they played the track at WGT or not.

*nods* Do you know a non-folk version of it?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Actually, no. Both versions I do own are folk(ish).

[madwitch.livejournal.com]

3 is the Final Countdown, and 4 is I can't stand the Rain.

Um. No idea which version you may have of 3...

4..Eruption? Michael Bolton? God only knows. Or possibly you. :)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

both correct! but not the artists.
Oohh, good call on Michael Bolton, though. That's one of the more obscure versions.

[devalmont.livejournal.com]

3) is probably Leibach
6) ...Richard Cheese or the Nine Inch Richards?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

3 is spot on (except the spelling)

Hee!

[whethergal.livejournal.com]

Oh wait, I misread it.

This must've been done by a different artist.

Oops.

Nevermind me.

Re: Hee!

That's why it's called "The obscure cover version quiz" ;oP

[whethergal.livejournal.com]

BAH! ;P

I defy your rules!

Stare at my hypno-breasts, and declare me winner!

(In other news, I cheated and found a Radiant Decay cover. I won't win the points, but is that the one? ;)

*stares*
That icon is just wrong...

No, it's not that, either. ;o)
