Oh 2009, you came and went so fast. I can’t believe it’s the end of the year. The freaking DECADE. When tribute bands decide to cover you, what will they call you? There’s the 80s, then the 90s, then…the zero-zeros? Someone come up with a name quick.
And what songs will this Zero-Zero tribute band cover? All I say is they better include these party pleasers:
- Black Eyed Peas — “Let’s Get It Started”
- Nelly — “Hot In Herre”
- Prince — “Black Sweat”
- A. R. Rahman, Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah & Mahalaxmi Iyer — “Jai Ho”
- LL Cool J — “Headsprung”
- Gnarls Barkley — “Crazy”
- Jay-Z — “99 Problems”
- Usher — “Yeah”
- Outkast — “Sorry Ms. Jackson”
- The White Stripes — “Seven Nation Army”
- Amy Winehouse — “Rehab”
- Eminem — “Lose Yourself”
- 50 Cent — “In Da Club”
- Missy Elliott — “Get Ur Freak On”
- Kelly Clarkson — “Since U Been Gone”
- Kanye West — “Jesus Walks”
- Justin Timberlake — “SexyBack”
- Rihanna — “Umbrella”
- Missy Elliott — “Work It”
- Coldplay — “Living La Vida”
- Kanye West — “Gold Digger”
- Kelis — “Milkshake”
- Britney Spears — “Toxic”
- The Killers — “Mr. Brightside”
- Beyoncé — “Single Ladies”
- Christina Aguilera — “Beautiful”
- Alicia Keys — “Fallin’”
- Madonna — “Music”

- Gorillaz — “Feel Good Inc.”
- Ne-Yo — “Closer”
- Paramour — “Ignorance”
- Mariah Carey — “We Belong Together”

Yeah, I’m partial to rap, hip hop and R&B. But I included some rock and pop songs in the mix. A tall order? If I can find a band that can cover both Eminem AND Mariah, I’ll be first in line at the ticket booth.
