    I would squeege my pants if they broke into Rosalita as a closer.

    I'd really like PJ and REM to do another split Christmas single, but to cover each other's songs this time. I'd want PJ to cover REM's 'Country Feedback' or 'Leave' and REM to cover 'I Am Mine'. I would love to hear Eddie sing 'Country Feedback' and 'I Am Mine' would be great with Stipe's voice.

    Good one.

    Better yet, make it a full album (or at least an EP). I've got the NOFX/Rancid split where each band covers 6 of the other's songs and it's fantastic.

    OK, maybe "fantastic" is pushing it, but I really enjoy it.

    alright. I've been thinking about this a lot and here is my conclusion:

    'Don't Worry About the Government' by the Talking Heads.

    Reasons:

    1. it's such a simple/catchy/beautiful song to which they'd add layers of beauty to make it their own (which is what a great cover is all about) and Ed's voice would do it the justice it deserves.
    2. Its lyrics are political but not overtly. They''re also really simple and gorgeous.
    3. the one part where it goes "it's over there...it's over there. My building has every convenience....it's going to make life easy for me". They would kick the shit out of it.
    4. The lyrics bring home a political idea and make it personal and meaningful (like pjs best songs IMHO)
    5. The talking heads kick ass.

    Ya - don't think Ed can pull off a Rush tune. Unless he changed Working Man into some kind of Millworker-type folk song ...

    Ed already sang No Surrender with Bruce. I would love to hear them do that.
    I've got a boot of Ed doing that solo from a year or two ago - think it's a pre-set. He does the acoustic version, and it's wicked.

    Pretty sure they've done Waiting on a Friend before. I didn't dig it, but I'm not a fan of that tune. I reckon No Expectations would be cool, or Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).

    I love Eddie's mini solo acoustic version of CG - the full band version would be interesting to hear them do.

    My suggestion: GOIN' OUT WEST by Tom Waits.

    I've always thought that Over The Hills and Far Away or Tangerine would seriously kick ass!
