Queenie87 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 OK so we've heard Mika sing fab versions of 'Everybody's Talking', 'Hips Don't Lie' and 'Same Jeans' and loved em. But what other cover songs would you like him to sing? I was listening to 'Don't Leave Me This Way' by the Communard and thought that Mika could do a great version of that. For some reason I really could imagine him singing it. So any ideas on songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think he should do the whole of "Walking In Memphis". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudel Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think he should do the whole of "Walking In Memphis". Seconded ! I'd love to hear the full version of it. Already been given a taster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I suggested to him at the Fopp signing he should do a cover of the theme song to Belleville Rendezvous (a film) as it's quite Mika-esk. Might have to refresh his memory if I get the chance to though, hehe. His cover of Same Jeans was amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think he should do the whole of "Walking In Memphis". I would LOVE that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatrix Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ooooh I would love to hear a full version of Walking in Memphis too. I'd quite like to hear him do Elton's 'Tiny Dancer', I think he may be able to it quite well. Or Ben Folds 'Still Fighting It'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think he would do great singing "My Melancholy Blues" (Queen)... And some Beatles' songs, like Penny Lane or Strawberry Fields! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatrix Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Oooh Penny Lane would be good, Billy Brown already has a kinda PL vibe to it. Lucy would be a good one for him to sing actually. Generally I'm not a fan of covers unless they're done very well, but I think Mika would be able to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel_tinydancer Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I would love to hear him sing some Elton John, maybe Tiny Dancer (My all-time favorite song!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Another song I would like to hear him sing is '39 from A Night At The Opera, it's the one that Brian sings and it is really beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl_anachronism Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I would like him to sing a cover of a song by the greatest band of all time... that's right, the Beatles maybe a quirky one to fit his personality, like "for the benefit of mr kite" or maybe something to showcase his beautiful voice... i.e. blackbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cautionary Wife Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'd like to hear Mika sing Queen's "March Of The Black Queen" as he has the vocal dexterity for the tricky fast bits... like... "Youve never seen nothing like it No never in your life Like going up to heaven And then coming back alive Let me tell you all about it Oooh give me a little time to choose Water babies singing in a lily pool delight Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night..."
