Beasties & Costello

Under strict orders from Columbia Records and Lorne Michaels not to play his anti-media hit Radio Radio, Elvis Costello began to play Less Than Zero. After a few seconds he changed his mind, apologized to the audience, and quickly directed his band to go ahead with Radio Radio anyway.  An incensed Lorne Michaels banned Costello from the show, but as years past, he began to embrace the significance of it and approved a tribute during the show’s 25th anniversary in which Costello came out to interrupt the Beastie Boys starting into Sabotage to re-enact his legendary 1977 appearance.

surf4food--I like that version better than the original.  In the Heath Ledger movie, 10 Things I Hate about You, Letters to Cleo performed it on top (actually on top, not with special effects) of Stadium High School in Tacoma:

Same movie has Heath Ledger singing cover of Frankie Valli song while escaping from school security guards in the most scenic high school stadium ever:

cure covers jimi--purple haze

are you experienced was the first record i owned. my aunt foolishly gave it to me for my 12th b'day at the behest of my cousin--she had no idea the can of worms she opened---and the wind whispers....mary-----------scuse me while i kiss the sky

covering jimi is a nearly impossible tast--the cure handles it

I agree.  That's a great one.  I love their interpretation.  Hadn't heard that one before.
