but seriously, I don't know who'd pull off a cover well. Mozza has a distinctive style and anyone else would reinterpret as their own - see Beautiful South's "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" - and I'm not so sure I want anyone else's filthy hands on a Morrissey classic!
I actually did cover a Morrissey song once... I played "Last of the Famous International Playboys" at one of my gigs. Most of the people there had no idea who Morrissey was... I was delighted to be the one who informed them.
In a hallucinatory moment I once imagined Josh Groban doing Trouble Loves Me. ‘Twas quite amusing, he could really belt it out. For the Brits unfamiliar with Groban, think of Russell Watson instead. Yes I am a bit strange.
I would like to hear Lisa Germano perform "I Know it's Gonna Happen Someday", "I'd Love To", or "Will Never Marry" -- with an extensive, violin-laden, finale fiddled to the shock-shimmer end of Lisa's virtuosity.
Tom Waits barking-out "There is a Place in Hell For me and my Friends" would be pretty good too.
