VOTE 2008: Most Unlikely Candidate

Welcome to day two of VOTE 2008!

Today's category is Most Unlikely Candidate. These are the people you thought would never cover Disney. These are the songs you never thought you'd hear covered. These are the songs you thought you'd never hear in that style.


5. When You Wish Upon a Star - Gene Simmons



This KISS rocker is definitely one who you wouldn't imaging covering When You Wish Upon a Star. Isn't he tougher than that? Apparently this song is very special to him and when he covered the Pinocchio classic he wanted to be very true to the original.



4. You've Got a Friend In Me - Robert Goulet



Robert Goulet? Really? His awesome cameo in Toy Story 2 was one of the reasons that movie was so great! While I could see him singing Disney songs, I never thought that he would be lend his voice to the Wheezy the Penguin. I guess you didn't either.



3. This is Halloween - Marilyn Manson



Although Manson is probably the least likely to be associated with Disney, his cover of This is Halloween embodies Manson in every way.



2. The Spectrum Song - Michelle Shocked



Who would have thought that this song would ever be covered? Yet it works thanks to the unique twang added by Michelle Shocked. I'd love to hear more covers of this song but it might be as unlikely as everyone believes.



1. Hip Hip Pooh Ray! - Domino & Stormy Seven



Out of all the songs to come out of the Winnie the Pooh shorts from the 60s, this one is probably one of the lesser know tracks. Who would have thought someone would cover it. And even more, who would have thought that it would be covered in the Eurobeat style?!


Tomorrow is weird Wednesday as I bring you the five weirdest covers on Covering the Mouse!
