meh, I can give a rats if anyone else cares for the band or the songs.
Blue Monday would fit, but I really never knew of the original till Orgy did their version, so that one may be up in the air.
And I actually have both Me First and Richard Cheese’s albums, but I’m looking for rock/metal remakes.
