It's not actually a cold winter's day here in Indiana- it's foggy. And rainy. Which is a little LOT unnerving. So, inspired by London's invasion of Middle American weather, I present 9 Cover Songs for an Aberrant Winter's Day. Please, I beg you- share your 9 (or just your one, or any combination, really) in the comments. Please. Before the fog gets me.

*cry*

9. All Time Low - Umbrella (Rihanna)
8. Jason Wade - You Belong to Me (Patti Page, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby)
7. Elefant - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths)
6. Duran Duran - Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile) (Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel)
5. Fountains of Wayne - Baby One More Time (Britney Spears)
4. Gary Jules - Mad World (Tears for Fears)
3. Isreal Kamamawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland/Louis Armstrong)
2. The Corrs & Bono - Summer Wine (Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood)
1. Jeff Buckley - Halleluja (Leonard Cohen)

Sounds like our DC winters may have crept west too. How about "This Winter I Retire" by "You Said the Whale"!

OK it's embarassing to admit, but I discovered the song via PerezHilton.com. He pimps really good indie music sometimes!

I'm deeply fond of "Under the Milky Way" by george (original by The Church) and "Jump" by Aztec Camera (originally by Van Halen, natch).

I am just sad that iMeem didn't have the whole thing, because my favorite part is the blistering acoustic guitar solo. :D

I'll raise you Alien Ant Farm covering Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and Toad the Wet Sprocket's version of "Rock and Roll All Night" by Kiss. Oh, and Stone Temple Pirates' Led Zepplin cover, "Dancing Days."

Ooh, and my brother introduced me to this one over Christmas:


I think what I love best about this performance is that while Morrisey's version is ironic, Neil sings it with this sort of wistful, aching sincerity.

I must applaud your fine choice of #6. ;)

Also, Sia's cover of "I Go to Sleep" (The Platters) is amazing, if you're looking for more.
