Lemonheads - Mrs. Robinson. Great, melodic tune with some Punk attitude (not too much, imo). And yes, I'm a fan of recycled tunes  .

Great to hear this again, I love this version.  I used to be nuts about Lemonheads back in the ninedees.

Eric Clapton is known for his covers of JJ Cale songs as Cocaine, After Midnight...

Clapton made also a great cover of Bob Marley in 1974. Here a live version in 2004

I second Alfredo with "time after time". Oh, and that Birdland cover is impressive.

Besides some of the covers you find on this site, I really don't know where to start.

Perhaps True Colours by Eva Cassidy, or Frente's Bizarre Love Triangle

Or more likely, one of the many covers you find in youtube with diferent kinds of sophistication.

Jack Conte was very inspirational for me when I started to do my own music, even before I joined SCs.
