I know we had something like this already but i can't find it anymore...

Anyways, ever since i watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVbI9Fpr6rw

I think this is the only Rob song ever that Rob has indeed not written. maybe it's still a bit to early, but in 5-10 years, this song will be Rob... To me.
"I can go the distance" (by Josh Groban?)
Walk on, we love you!

Very nice video find Kathi.

i think it would be great if he did something really fun [even if it was as a bit of a joke but anyway] like 'Shout', its the song in ' National Lampoon's "Animal House" '. its such a fun song, and id be so happy if he sang it

:D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7G1-IR2rrU - this is the song as sang in the movie, imagine a huge croud dancing to that ;)

sorry if you disagree, but i love it!

Naxus

11-27-2006, 06:52 PM

hello ,

So if robbie was to cover a song what would be the best covers he could perform ?

I think maybe Karma Police by Radio head as I know he could pull that off great in his own way !

What do you guys think!:wink3:

Naxus

11-27-2006, 07:18 PM

How about James Brown "Sex Machine" or I would love to see him sing Barry White "See the Trouble with Me" only because he did "its not Unusual" by Tom Jones on Tour and that was Great !

i think robbie could pull of any song at all. he is that talented. Eye of The Tiger- survivor

Miryam

11-30-2006, 02:03 PM

I really, really would like to hear him singing the following songs:

Yellow - Coldplay
My hips don't lie - Shakira (just because that would be funny as hell)
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me - U2
The way you look tonight - Sinatra
and maybe some other spanish songs just because he's cute when he's talking in spanish, by the way, the other day I was watching an interview from a mexican channel and he couldn't get to pronunciate right almost anything but when he sweared in spanish he pronunciated it perfect lol, he said "no me chingues".

Would you like me to translate and post the interview for you?

I'm not sure about eye of the tiger. Nor "we built this city"

But I'd like to hear him sing some Prince. Maybe "lovesexy"

This is a great song

mies10

01-13-2007, 12:21 PM

Phil Collins - You'll be in my heart (because it's an emotional song and emotional songs suit rob)
Bryan Adams - Heaven (same as above)
Jamie Foxx ft ludracris - unpredictable (just listen to the lyrics and you will know why :tongue: )
Joshua Kadison - Jesse (because this is a beautiful song and I think it will suit robs voice!)

My Life
------Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of cirumstance)
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

01-14-2007, 01:44 PM

La gasolina(Daddy Yankee)... Because it could be really funny.He danced it in a mexican TV show "No manches"- the same as post#4 by Miryam-

01-24-2007, 07:57 PM

I would love him to sing Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading, love that song and he would do it great
Also Never tear us apart by Inxs,
Ohh just thought of another one that would be great, You do something to me by Paul Weller, lovely :tongue:

I Want Love / Elton John, is a beautiful song and i can see Robbie singing it

I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. George Michael and Darren Hayes already recorded it but I think Rob would make it a first for a straight guy.

I'd love Rob to do a Take That cover, just his vocals on BFG *goes into dreamy state*, like he did this tour, that was gorgeous!!

MjWings

03-04-2007, 03:19 PM

I was listening to some old classics today, and thought that Rob could sing these songs really well:

Only you - The Platters
My Girl -The Four Seasons (?)
I'll be there - The Four Tops

Jackieblue

03-15-2007, 03:45 AM

God only knows by the Beach Boys
Oh yeah.....would love to hear that :hyper:

DJDaisy

03-15-2007, 09:56 AM

Music is the Power........Richard Ashcroft

reading this thread - listening to Richard and I agree

Also like to hear him do

Perfect Day - Bob Dylan

Follow On - Paul Brady

Handyman - James Taylor

Ernie - the fastest milkman in the west - Benny Hill , I think (maybe for comic relief or something) - he'd get lots of girls chasing him in the video and I'd be the fastest...

Ross in Oz

03-15-2007, 09:41 PM

I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. George Michael and Darren Hayes already recorded it but I think Rob would make it a first for a straight guy.

Mate, that would have to be one of my all time favourites.

It's a beautiful, haunting song. I've never heard anyone else do it though.

I think Rob would nail it. It's a song that needs buckets of emotion, Bonnie has that and more!

03-29-2007, 11:25 PM

Weird, I was just thinking of what songs I would like to hear Robbie cover today, and here was this thread! Some of these Rob may have already done in concert, but not that I knew of.

What about- Fools Rush In, by the king Elvis Presley? Since we know he admires Elvis, and that just happens to be my favorite EP song! Also- Something by The Beatles. I would love to hear Rob do either of these songs.

I totally agree with The Great Pretender by Freddie Mercury too.

dangeleyes

03-30-2007, 08:58 AM

He tends to do a lot of covers live doesn't he? prob one of my favs has to be Adam & The Ants - Antmusic off the b-side of No Regrets his is a fantastic version :1b:

DJDaisy

03-30-2007, 09:45 AM

I'd like him to do the Zutons song Valerie - because he could go straight into Monsoon - they sound so alike

Listen to it - really does sound like Monsoon...

07-20-2007, 06:34 PM

Ive just seen an advert on TV for a rod stewart album, call the great american songbook, where he covers classic songs inc, what a wonderful world.

Just gave me the idea that if he could what classic songs would you like to see him cover?

Min would be, Always on my mind.

08-28-2007, 12:26 AM

Ok, Ok, Robbie songs are fantastic in their own right, but I just wondered if there are any songs you would like to hear Robbie sing, that are not his own?

I just heard Never Tear Us Apart by INXS, and I thought that I would love to hear Robbie sing that and think he would do an awesome job !! :3b:

Jackieblue

08-28-2007, 01:02 AM

Hmmm...probably quite a few but would really love to hear Rob sing "The Music of the Night" from Phantom......he would really belt it out....:hyper:

08-28-2007, 02:53 PM

would love him to cover Paul Weller`s " You do something to me" Lyrics below,

You do something to me - something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire - for a love i'll never find
You do something wonderful - then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again
Hanging on the wire, i'm waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame -
An' feel real again

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside
I'm hoping to get close to - a peace i cannot find -

Dancing through the fire - just to catch a flame
Just to get close to, just close enough -
To tell you that.....

You do something to me - something deep inside.

I would like to hear him sing "Drops of Juppiter" by Train: the test makes me think of him too.......

OMG! when I heard this song for the first time I thought "Damn it, it is a song in Rob's style!" and when I watched the video I thought that the singer had the same grinning smile as our Rob........

What a shame, this is one of my favorite songs and I think that it could fit Rob's personality perfectly!!!
