Ok, just a fun thought.   This song played on the office radio just now and I thought it would be red-hot if played ferociously and up-tempo by Midnight Oil in "Redneck Wonderland" style ...

Any other suggestions of completely unexpected covers that would have worked?


Tina Cousins "Pray"

What a miracle is life
the fields are high and the fruit is ripe
so hold out your hands
yeah, hold out your hands
and you're the same as me
you breathe the air I breathe
and we don't understand 

yeah, we don't understand 

And if you don't ask questions you won't know why
so say a prayer for the time while there's still time
So pray for good and pray for love
pray for peace and pray it's enough
pray for salvation
pray that we're right
pray one day we'll open our eyes, and
pray for them and pray for us
pray one day we can live as one
pray for the children whose time is to come
just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done 

We all see the same sun
each day a golden praise is sung
to the wonder of man
yeah, to the wonder of man
and when we look why can't we see
all the riches that are free
oh we don't understand
yeah, we don't understand 

pray for good and pray for love
pray for peace and pray it's enough
pray for salvation
pray that we're right
pray one day we'll open our eyes, and
pray for them and pray for us
pray one day we can live as one
pray for the children whose time is to come
just pray they forgive us for the stupid things we've done
