..and when smileys are on the end of sentences it means chill out a little and go with the flow!

Ohh noooo. Worst song in Juno, which didn't have a very good soundtrack to begin with.

Aww, did my lack of smile faces throw you off? I promise I was being nice.

The Revolting Cocks cover of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is a longtime favorite of mine:

Yeah only available on VHS. The guy I went to see ministry with last year has it and I'm still waiting for my DVD conversion

Steven Wilson's cover of "Thank U" (originally by Alanis Morissette) is my fav...he owns it!

I like all of Marilyn Manson's covers cause he always puts a cool dark twist to it. Then again, I'm totally bias about him.

I definitely think the whole Kimya catalogue (on that soundtrack and in general) is worse than that song. What don't you like about it? I don't usually fall for the whole "dark" tone thing, but I loved how they pulled it off in that song. They definitely made it their own instead of trying to sound like them or stick within the nature of the song (which Sonic Youth wouldn't do anyway, but I thought it was worth mentioning).

Also, I'd like to add Ben Fold's cover of In Between Days by The Cure.
