The Fray - Hips Don't Lie (Shakira) brilliant cover!
Joss Stone - L-O-V-E (Nat King Cole) heard it on the Chanel adverts but didn't realise it was a cover til I looked it up nevertheless she really does a very good cover of the song |

The Slits (Marvin Gaye) Gotta love this version. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQxvo_9DEqY Is This All There Is. PJ Harvey (Peggy Lee) Strange song for a strange puppy. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ZUAorP0b4 Our Town. Kate Rusby.
