> Bowing to \*\*bienville \*\* – I heard a cover of “Imagine” done dirge tempo in a minor key. NOT fun party music, but absolutely captivating in a dark sort of way. “Imagine there’s no heaven. No Earth below.” No, really, imagine that. That’s pretty dark. You’d have the goth/emo kids weeping and slitting their writsts. (OK, maybe better to not do that one.)

You know, I haven’t really heard anything creatively done with [Dragostea Din Te](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ3lXZT7PFY&feature=related) on the Rock n Rollin tip. That song needs a Rock treatment. I’d like to see it covered with a Rammstein or Slipknot edge.
