Rhythm Bandits
By Junior Senior
This could technically also star in a "Band's I get an entirely unjustified amount of crap for liking" post (along with The Grates and others) but honestly, I don't know any other song that makes me want to dance more than this (with the possible exception of move your feet, also by this band).
Anyway, Junior Senior is kinda known as a gay/straight band, since one of them is gay and one of them is straight. Also, one of them is old and one is young, which I imagine with my Sherlock Holmes level of deduction, is where they got their name from. Which is which is obviously a mystery (except i would be money that the younger one is in fact Junior, and vice versa). Also, it's dancey, it's fun, and I'm not going to let the fact that channel 10 bought the rights and play their songs for every 'trendy' show they are putting on this year ruin it for me.
Also... Rhythm is a ridiculously hard word to spell.
Planet Of The Wolves
By GuitarWolf
This is my "I'm about to kick absolute ass" song. I seriously know no other song that is anywhere near as bad ass or as rockin' as this song is. Play it and run through it now with me:
First section: Long shot of a desert, it pans to some guy in the distance riding a motorcycle, every time a wolf howls its super imposed on the shots...
That first big chord: PLANT OF THE WOLVES is show in big bold letters on the screen...
That bit after the chord but before the rest of the song: I kick in some door and look bad ass.
The rest of the song: Ass kicking.
Underwater's Where The Action Is
By Kelley Stoltz
Ok ok.... Imagine this. The little mermaid (the movie) is remade, but with Muppets, and halfway through the movie there's some party in the middle of the sea. And a young Bob Dylan is there, capable of breathing and singing underwater without the need of any visible breathing apparatus. This would be the song he sung.
Honestly, I don't even know how this song got on my computer... I don't remember d'ling it. I know the boys wouldn't have d'led it and my sister had no idea who it was... It's like the happiest accident that ever happened.

The lyrical stylings (err... covers) of Mr. Richard Cheese.
Welcome to the Jungle
As originally done by Guns and Roses
This song should surely be a staple of any good night out in Townsville, but please enjoy this slightly classier, less Mad-Cow-ier version of it. It's got everything that was good about the original, plus a horn section and cameos from all the old favorites such as "Jungle Boogie" and "The lion sleeps tonight".
I think this was probably the first song I heard by this guy, with the possible exception of "Down with the sickness" from the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack.
Been Caught Stealing
As originally done by Jane's Addiction
It was hard to pick what songs to put up with this lot, not only because he has so many awesome ones, but also because it's even better if you know the original song beforehand. I was considering doing a "before and after" thing where I put up the original and the cover but I have nowhere near the space needed for that kinda thing. The point I'm trying to slowly reach in this meandering paragraph, is that I'm pretty sure you know this song.
Also... Poor doggie.
Creep
As originally done by Radiohead
Mr. Cheese is also sometimes a little bit of a pain in the ass, in that he does a couple of versions of the same song (for some entirely unknown reason). Anyway, it's often a case that one has really crappy midi music, but awesome stage presence-y stuff and the other one has actual instruments. I'm pretty sure this one is the latter. Also, I know you don't know any Radiohead, but I'm pretty sure you'll know this one. If you don't, I'll send you the original sometime.
Don't worry about missing out on the other one, the best bits of it are all Radiohead jokes you probably wouldn't get at the moment. Maybe one day tho, when the time is right, I'll play it for you, and it will give you as much joy as it has given me.
Special Bonus Track!
The Theme from Friends
Originally by someone or other I dunno I can't be bothered looking it up on google.
Dear God. He makes it sound so sincere!
(Also, I think it was the Rembrandts).
