suzie Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 ...you can add "Killer Queen" I wanted to avoid it, to tell you the truth.. If I do, I can add Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere, too. He almost covered it, anyway:naughty: Otherwise, it's nice to hear from you again. Hope to meet soon again in London - I mean I hope there will be some concerts soon worth flying over to.

If anyone else finds it before me - that'd be awesome. added i think i remember "Gronlandic Edit" (Of Montreal) and "Overpowered" and "Forever more" (Moloko). will add Moloko, the other one is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keti Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 As there are several threads on what other artists you like, I thought it might be a good idea to collect Mika’s favourite music / musicians on one thread in case you want to check out any names unknown to you.(It would be similar to the A-list MFC thread, so additional names are welcome, these are only names that first came to my mind) Rules: only 'documented mentions’ count I., Influences: The Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Harry Nilsson, Kurt Weill, David Bowie, Serge Gainsbourg, Joa Baez, Beck, Gioacchino Rossini ( ) II., Other favourite musicans: Amy Whinehouse, Rufus Wainwright, Annie Lennox, Calvin Harris, Adele, the Scissor Sisters, Paolo Conte, INXS, Lily Allen, Duffy, Beth Ditto, the Pet Shop Boys, Littleboots, Bodies Without Organs, Yelle, Tiny Dancers, Ting Tings, Tegan and Sara, Lady GaGa, Imogen Heap, The National, Arcade Fire, Nellie Mckay, Feist, David Usher, Moloko III., Songs he has ever picked as favourites (from musicians not mentioned above) Dolly Parton 9 to 5 Yael Naim: New Soul Blur: Country HouseNelli Furtado: Maneater Yazzoo: Only You Fleetwood Mac: Everywhere MGMT: Kids Kate Nash: Pumpkin soup Edith Piaf: Milord Grace Jones: Pull Up To The Bumper Gwen Guthrie: Ain't nothing Going On But the RentFleet Foxes: Ragged Wood Of Montreal: Gronlandic Edit Beirut: Nantes (please help with this one, eg. other songs he played before concerts) IV., Originals of songs he has already covered: Harry Nilsson: Everybody’s Talking Nina Simone: Ain’t Got No / I Got Life Police: Can’t Stand Losing You Massive Attack: Teardrop Dave Matthews Band: Satellite Depeche Mode: Just Can’t Get Enough Candy Station: You Got the Love Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams The Jackson 5: I Want You Back Shakira: Hips Don’t Lie The Proclaimers: 500 miles (-are we sureabout this??)

mari62 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We just know about The Proclaimers from the press: <<I think it was probably Ibiza. Yeh! I had hardly any voice, this was a couple of months ago now, and it was my first ever pop gig with a full band, it was at five fifteen in the morning and it was at Manumission with the jungle crowd after the topless women being chased by the midgets and I went on… We sang the first song and I was kind of excited and I jumped up, but as I landed I jammed one of the pedals so we were stuck. There’s all these people completely out of their heads in front of me and I really didn’t know what to do, so I just started singing folk songs and Proclaimers covers! (laughs) But now it’s an in-joke with my band, if ever anything goes wrong we just start singing Proclaimers songs cause we don’t know what else to do!>> http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2171074&postcount=145 ------------------- <<Take this weekend, for instance. "I was doing Manumission in Ibiza, and went onstage at 5am in the morning. It went amazingly well. Watching people dance to my music is probably one the best moments of the past year," he beams, flashing a Colgate-white smile. Tragedy struck, however, "when I accidentally smashed one of the cables." Quelle horreur! "I didn't know what to do so I (wait for it) ended up singing I Would Walk 5,000 Miles by The Proclaimers. The crowd went mental." >> http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2140528&postcount=41 ---------------------- (Dingwalls) <<His sometimes off-key falsetto has me fearing for the mirrors on the walls, and the jokey cover of the Proclaimers' "500 Miles" (coupled with the drummer's deely-boppers) tickles my Irony Detector slightly, but when you hear the hysterical skylarking chorus of "Grace Kelly", or the brain-snagging hook of "Lollipop", you're not gonna care.">> http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2138160&postcount=14 ------------------------------- (Dingwalls) <<One high spot came when an anonymous audience member yelled at Marti to sing the famous Proclaimers song. They dutifully did so - but not knowing any of the words, it descended into a shambles that left everyone laughing.>> http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15221&postcount=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
