I think for one of these he should release his recording of I Am A Rock with a video because it’s pretty appropriate right now.

Thanks for reminding me about it! I Am A Rock sounds great with his voice

I guess it depends on whether or not he’s strictly recording new covers or not

He probably is, I’m just listening to all the Longshot stuff and I’m connecting with so much of it right now.  New covers are great I’m just so appreciative of him for all this music 😍

Man I’d so love to hear Billie do a cover of this song but I imagine he has never heard it . It’s an 80’s post punk /new wave band from Dublin Ireland called the Blades .

it’s very much in the vein of covers he has done previously ..

Tell me that you couldn’t hear Billie doing a great version of this .......that chorus is made for him !

 

[That Dude]

Okay you FOAMs, listen up! 

We need a leak before Monday.  

Ignore everything else in life, get this cover of 4 Non Blondes "What's Up?" That Billie Joe is doing. 

Now.

That song is me. Every word of it. 

My books and poetry protect the crap out of me.

You're right this is very similar to the kind of songs he's covered and it slaps!

Usually, I tend to overlook revival covers as gimmicky or just for the meme value, but I love how this came about so organically. You can genuinely tell Billie is doing this to give people something to look forward each week while keeping himself busy, so this time his ADHD is very much appreciated (even if he left FOAM orphan 😞). And I'm especially excited that he's choosing all these 80's power pop hits with quarantine themes, I would love a studio version of "Dancing With Myself" with a Billy Idol appearance just to see Billie geek out about it.

I've seen others mention The Cure and I'm totally on board, I'm thinking a song like "In-Between Days" would be really interesting and fitting, or Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" with a gritty twist. Though if I could chose any song, I would love a cover of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" or Siouxsie's "Kiss Them For Me" with a sultry delivery like his cover of Southern Girls, but a girl can only dream...

I’m guessing the next cover will be ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’ by The Go Go’s:

I would honestly love this.

[jengd]

I could see him cover that, it would be great.

That one would be so sweet, I won't be able to stop listening probably 

[BillieJoe’sEyelids]

I would love to see the family involved in the next cover. Rebirth of The Boo maybe?

Junkies on a High!

So far most of Billie's covers have been annoying 80s songs and making them tolerable, so this would definitely fit the bill.

It’s monday here lol glad I didn’t go to sleep yet

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Oh no, now Monday will really be no fun

[Beyza]

I was guessing he’ll cover this song cause know he mentioned before especially its lyrics very good as I remember but can’t listen right now without headphones  In the morning, I can enjoy it hopefully lol

[BrendanL]

Wow! This is my favorite of the lot, so far. I've got it on repeat, turning it up a little louder each time. I'd kill to see him play this backed by a band.

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Haha he’s like “I don’t like religion (but happy easter)”

This song is absolutely amazing and I love his vocals on it. Sound great, so far my favorite and I liked them all

[DookieLukie]

Is this song pro or anti religion?

The way I understand it, it sounds like it’s pro but that’s meant to show how coaxing religion is, then the chorus is pretty straightforward, calling the religious sheep and jesus just a corpse on a cross.
