Pearl Jam - Teen Angel

Do you mean "Last Kiss"?

How about "Dancing Barefoot" by some band called U2?


And a question: Bonochick's list from Q has "How Soon is Now" by t.a.T.u...isn't that the 2 Russian fake lesbian teeny bopper singers? If so how in the hell could such a rendition be a top 50 cover song of all time...Morrissey must be getting ready to eat a steak after that news.

 

[fah]

Do you mean "Last Kiss"?

Yes, I meant 'Last Kiss'
