Singles that are covers

[A Slice Of English]

I love "Don't Leave Your Mark On Me". Very spooky and cool.

Recorded by Graham Blv in 1994 a year before WTTN.

You sure? Linky? Source?

All I could find was a 'band' called Graham Blvd—they have a cd from 1995 that has both I'd Lie for You and Not a Dry Eye, and one from 1994 with Objects and Rock 'n' Roll Dreams—but they seem to produce nothing but bland covers.

Well spotted. Jeez, those must be some of the WORST Meat Loaf covers I've ever heard. Indeed it looks unlikely Diane Warren would have given that track to a bunch of unknowns. That's merely a cover of ML. Say what you will about Diane Warren, she has written songs with Meat Loaf in mind I think, certainly I'd Lie for You. It's obvious that was written as a sequel to AFL. "If This is the last kiss" could have been for anyone though had it not been for the brackets in the title.

No Single but 'Martha' is a cover as well...

Pretty cool version. I pity the girl on the cover for her Trabant.

Like the heavy metal version. Wouldn't call it death metal. No shouting in it.

On The Lost Boys Movie, it's about the 19minute mark, you can just make it out if your quick.

Great version, thanks for posting this.

I actually think the middle speech seems MUCH more relevant in the original. Seriously, who cares about the Alamo these days?!

clearly you don't live in Texas.
