Best cover song in a movie.

[TRRW#31]

I was thinking what is the best cover in a movie not done by a professional musician. Here are two of my favorites.

Michael J. Fox - Johnny B. Good
Tia Carrera - Ballroom Blitz

Jack Black, in High Fidelity - Let's Get it on
The Link

William Lichter in Can't Hardly Wait - Paradise City
The Link

Anthony Edwards in Top Gun - She's Lost that Lovin Feeling

Ducky, Pretty in Pink, Try a Little Tenderness (obviously not really a 'cover' )

Blues Brothers - she caught the katy, peter gunn, gimme some lovin, rawhide theme, sweet home chicago, jailhouse rock. basically the whole damn movie

role models - any of their rush covers, or attempts at least, since it's very very hard to cover rush

I suppose she is a pro but Texas girl Edie Brickell sang "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" in the movie Born on the Fourth of July made by otherwise insane person Oliver Stone.

Ever since, she has been locked in the basement by Paul Simon.

Sugar Town - Zooey Deschanel

Do lip Synch's count?

Jerry MaGuire covering "Free Falling" or Maverick singing "She's Lost That Loving Feeling."

 

[1899horn]

Delta Tao Chi covering Louie Louie

 

[FAST FRED]

"Shout" in "Animal House" at the toga party - Otis Day & The Knights covering the Isley Brothers.

Bluesman Robert Cray portrays the bass player.



Audrey Hepburn covering Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini's "Moon River" in "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Actually, I guess her rendition in the movie is the original and not a cover version.



George Strait as Dusty Chandler singing "I Cross My Heart" in "Pure Country."

Wait a minute, is that Dusty covering George or George covering Dusty?



And I just noticed that professional musicians aren't eligible.

So, ................nevermind.

OK, how abour Justine Bateman, Julia Roberts, Trini Alvarado, Scott Coffey and Britta Philips covering "Satisfaction" and some other songs in Liam Neeson's bar in that movie "Satisfaction?"

But Britta, the blonde guitarist, looked like she knew where to put her fingers, so maybe she's a pro?

Good music though.

How could you guys omit Mr. Babar singing "Moon River"?
