Just commented in [livejournal.com profile] zenith's LJ:

I want to do a Club Unpopular at some point with only cover versions and remixes of No.1s

Know any good ones?

(Not that this will actually happen ever but lists are fun)

(PS I've been busy with Poplar the last day or two, I feel quite virtuous!)

oi!

Tori Amos had a song on that! A cover of 'Ring My Bell'.

(nb I do not own it or know what else is on it, and am suspecting that i would not like to)

if it's on the pile of stuff to be sold, you can't own it!

If there's gonna be a "I Think We're Alone Now" cover, it has to be the Lene Lovich one. I've fell for that pretty heavily recently.

I've never heard it! I like the American McFly-but-better version, though, I think the song needs to be teenage, and they are so teenage (although I have a feeling they are really in their 20s)

If this is actually ever being done ask again and I will put together a lengthy list of good ones from my collection. I think it should also include previous versions of songs that made #1 too.
