Under Pressure, just cause it’s a good cover version, and Barcelona if it’s allowed, as 6 and 7.

The Vanilla Ice track, ‘Ice Ice Baby’.
The Queen version has different lyrics (nothing beats the couplet ‘Slice like a ninja, cut like a nlade’!), which aren’t as good IMHO, and Bowie emotes a bit too much, but as a humble tribute to White Rap, it’s pretty good.

Yeah I agree they trashed the spirit of the song, but I think they came up with something worthwhile.

Under Pressure is allowed then?

Yes, I think so - it appears on a Queen album, despite the credit, and being a cover of that cracking Vanilla Ice number. Separately, Queen recorded several covers on live albums, all of which would be allowed - i have always liked their Tutti Frutti. One time I saw them live they played a snippet of Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, and I wish they had recorded the whole of it.

I sent a list in, for what it's worth. It would be completely different tomorrow I suppose, and I can't say I'm too happy with it, but it'll do for this exercise.
