im not so sure how elliott smith would translate to the rock your *&$^% brains out technique the boys have, but i do like the idea of a beatles song. or maybe the knack...
Totally do a kinks cover! All the day and all of the night or you really got me would be ideal! Not sure about Lola, if they covered it and butchered it it would break my fragile little heart
OK, I looked over my WMP library and here is what I think they should cover.
The Beatles - Get Back The Beatles - Helter Skelter The Beatles - Rain The Beatles - I Me Mine The Beatles - Baby, You're a Rich Man The Beatles - She Said She Said The Doors (Or Van Morrison, which ever) - Gloria The Kinks - You Really Got Me The Kinks - Lola Sweet - Ballroom Blitz (haha, I'd like to see that.) The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow The Rolling Stones - Get Off My Cloud Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun The Who - Substitute The Who - Call Me Lightning
If ok go EVER covered the Beatles i would make it my mission to kill them. Can you honestly see them doing any kind of decent cover of any of those songs? you're mad! MAD!!
A lot of bands do good covers of Beatles songs. Aerosmith with Come Together, Cheap Trick with Magical Mystery Tour, etc.
I might be mad, but if they were to cover a Beatles song, I think those would be ideal.
Edit: OK Go has talent, so I think they could pull it off. But when bands cover Beatles songs when they absolutely suck, then yes I would be like you.
My sister went to an Aaron Carter concert a couple of years ago and he sang "Imagine" . . . he even "Played" the piano. My aunt was there and she said he butchered it. I felt like hunting him down and pulling his crappy vocal chords out. How in the hell can someone who sang a song "That's How I Beat Shaq" sing "Imagine"?!?!
Aerosmith did Helter Skelter which was pretty good, other than that ive only really heard a few people do justice to beatles songs. Best being Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From my Friends. Amazing cover
Dont forget Eddie Vedder did "Hide Your Love Away" it was beautiful. totally caught the feeling of the song. And I like the idea of the doing "Ballroom Blitz" I can hear it now.... "Are you ready Tim? Andy? Dan? Well alright fellas, Lets go!!!!" That would be sublime
rufus wainwright (who is playing with ok go later and i so wish i could go! even though it is kind of an odd pairing...) did an awesome cover of across the universe
And you may ask yourself What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself Am I right?...Am I wrong? And you may tell yourself MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

*GASPS* That is exactly what I was thinking!!!! I love that song!
This requires some thought . . . hmmmm *scratches head*
I think they should do a Who song, maybe "Pictures of Lily", or any other Who song. I have no ider.
and the prove my love cover they have right now is so AWESOME
*Gasps* They should do a cover of it! It would be so cool, cool wouldn't even describe it!
Also, with my experience of listening to "Oh No", now I really think they should cover "Lola" by the Kinks. They would kick that song in the ass.

And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?
