Ack! Some French Canadian nu-metal covered "We're Not Gonna Take It" ("On Va Pas Laissez Faire" I think it was). It was on Montreal modern rock radio a lot for a little while in the spring. It was terrible.

I think he should do "Soon".

"We're Not Gonna Take It"

You take that back! That would be raping the memories of too many.
Now, "Unskinny Bop" done by Andrew WK might be worth hearing.

"Rubber Duckie" as sung by Ernie from Sesame Street

― Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Monday, 30 December 2002 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

In fact, every band that comes out now should release a single version of "Rubber Ducky" just as a test of character, and as a way of knowing where their head is at.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 04:59 (twenty-three years ago)

"Around the World" by ATC would be good too.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 16:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I guess some of baccarach's songs would make a wonderful
Can't help smiling when I think of how "Close to you" or "the look of love" would sound between Andrew's hands....

"Pumping (My Heart)".
"Eloise"
"Make a Circuit with Me"

i love andrew wk

― gygax! (gygax!), Sunday, 16 May 2004 02:35 (twenty-one years ago)

three years pass...

The Police, "Next To You"
Kenny Loggins, "I'm Alright"
Michael Jackson, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin" - I don't think he could really improve on this, but the OTT-ness of it is just perfect. I'm picturing the "mama say" part working much like the background vocals towards the end of "I Get Wet."

"Head On" was mentioned in an identically-conceived thread and I think that's a really great answer. It also makes me think of the Pixies' "Allison" which I think he could do pretty good with.

― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 01:54 (eighteen years ago)

Hell, almost any Police rocker seems like a good idea to me suddenly. "Truth Hits Everybody" maybe...

― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 01:54 (eighteen years ago)

I would love to hear The Jesus and Mary Chain cover "She is Beautiful".

― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 01:55 (eighteen years ago)

Andrew W.K.... will treat his (many) Japanese fans to a trio of Universal Music International releases on November 26: a greatest hits collection called The Very Best So Far, a set of W.K. English-language renditions of J-pop hits(!!) entitled The Japan Covers, and a two-disc package bundling both releases under the banner Premium Collection.

(via Pitchfork)

Whoa!

― Savannah Smiles, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 17:28 (seventeen years ago)

Sugar me By Lindsey De Paul.

― Ludo, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 20:04 (seventeen years ago)

I'd like to hear him cover Fight For Your Right To Party, if he hasn't done so already.

Snakes on a plane!

― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 01:33 (seventeen years ago)

He just worked on the new Lee Scratch Perry album. <3 the WK

― Abbott of the Trapezoid Monks (Abbott), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:45 (seventeen years ago)

I think I would like him to cover:

• 'Sex Over the Phone' by the Village People
• 'What's the Buzz?' from 'Jesus Christ Superstar'
• 'Be True to Your School' by the Beach Boys
• 'This Ain't the Summer' of Love by Blue Öyster Cult
• 'Drive-In Saturday' by David Bowie
• 'Private Idaho' by the B-52's
• 'The Passion of Lovers' by Bauhaus
• 'We Are Normal' by Bonzo Dog Band
• 'In a City Lining' by the Cardiacs
• 'Prime Time of Your Life' by Daft Punk (I think this wwld work esp. well w/the WK's stylings)
• 'Me and My Dad' by Wall of Voodoo

oh fudge I could do this all day. He did a great cover of Blueberry Hill (instrumental) when I saw him, and a 3-minute version of the Kit-Kat jingle!

― Abbott of the Trapezoid Monks (Abbott), Wednesday, 12 November 2008 02:54 (seventeen years ago)

Andrew WK is on FIRE lately!!!

http://www.nypost.com/seven/11022008/entertainment/weddings/pourtabib__29__and_wilkes_krier__29_136393.htm

"Oct. 4 - Few people find heavy metal romantic, but for Cherie Pourtabib and Andrew Wilkes-Krier, it was love at first headbang. The musical Manhattan couple met after being urged to do so by their heavy-metal voice teacher. Four years later, they tied the knot at Santos Party House, a nightclub in Chinatown co-owned by the groom. But the wedding wasn't all rock 'n' roll for Pourtabib and Wilkes-Krier, better known as the musician Andrew W.K. The couple included some traditional elements in their wedding as well, including a Persian ceremony that had some of their guests on the edge of their seats. "When the bride is asked to agree to the marriage, it's customary for her to ignore the question until the third time," says Pourtabib, a musician, songwriter and fitness professional. "Some of our guests were really confused!" After assuring their guests by saying "I do," the duo and their 160 friends and family members enjoyed an exotic Middle Eastern-themed reception, designed by Joseph Todd Events.

Essentials

* First dance: Andrew W.K.'s "Really in Love"

* Sweet stuff: a multi-tiered cupcake display in lieu of a wedding cake

* Proposal: At La Lanterna Cafe in Greenwich Village, where the duo had their first date

* Memorable moment: "Exchanging vows and getting so emotional we could barely speak," says the bride."
