Here are some covers you might want to try.

(Perhaps you would consider them parodies, since the lyrics have been changed a bit.)
The Dylan cover of Can’t Help is… interesting. My favorite version of this song is the one by Lick the Tins, which I used to have on vinyl.
Brian,
This show just reconfirmed my belief that all Dylan songs sound better when sung by anyone but Dylan! (Do I have to give up my Minnesota residency for saying that?)
I really loved both the Ring of Fire cover, and Johnny covering Tom Petty.

Hey,
I really enjoy these “Degrees of Coveration” shows. I think it would be really cool if you came up with a circular coveration show. That is, where the final artist is the artist covered first to create a full circle. I’m think Johnny Cash would be a good starter candidate as he has been around awhile and has some covers of some more recent artists. It would be interesting to see what else you could come up with to create a circle.
