Match 9: Next up we have They Might Be Giants' cover of We've Got a World That Swings which was originally written for Jerry Lewis and used in his movie The Nutty Professor. It has lyrics by Lil Mattis and music [melody] by Louis Yule Brown. It was nominated by Kirin. It's coming out swinging against Violentvixen's pick of Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence (originally by Simon & Garfunkel).

I would have nominated more but things have been happening. I knew I needed to get Because the Night on the board though because it is my personal favorite cover of all time. It is great in and of itself, but the way Merchant's voice cracks on the second "Take me now" is what really makes it for me.

And All Along the Watchtower

Because the Night.

<sigh> I think Tori Amos’s cover of “Raining Blood” is incredibly powerful, but I don’t think even I can vote for it over Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower.”

I've loved that version of Stand By Me ever since I first heard it so going with that. And the All Star cover is just insanely impressive.
