But for some reason this song popped into my head when I thought about what song they should cover. LL's round the way girl. For some reason I think that one would work. Call me crazy! ---------------------------(*)--------------------------- Eid Mubarak!

I will say it time and time again - this classic PR & CLS jawn would be banannas. I will also mention "I know you got Soul" by Eric B and The G.O.A.T. Rakim. These would be the hottest.
I will also throw "Under Pressure" jawn by Queen and Bowie. I think it might make me smile the way i do when they do "Superfreak."

They have done that song or it's "Come As You Are" by Nirvana. I remember they played it at the Halloween show in 2001.
I would also like to see them cover some:
Public Enemy- "Fight The Power" Beastie Boys- "So Wathca Want" Rage Against The Machine- "Bulls On Parade" Slick Rick- "Childrens Story" Sublime- ANYTHING BY THEM Red Hot Chili Pepers- "Give it Away" Eminem-"My name is" (it wud be sooooo funny) Led Zeplin- "When The Levee Breaks" Ludicris- "Area Codes" (with Thought adding his own rhymes... all the ludacris haters can say whatever they want...BUT this song is HOTT, and it wud be dope considering The Roots travel to more different zip codes in a year, than any other touring group..)
Damm, there's soooo many I wud like 2 C...

definitely! or some 70's funk breaks like "Theme From SWAT" (most recently used in an old navy ad during the summer), or a real challenge, at least for Thought to flow to, would be "Theme from Black Belt Jones" (the bboys/bgirls know what I'm talking about!) That would be amazing

Personally i'd like them to cover an eminem track, just any one. But i'd gun for Role Model or Say Goodbye to Hollywood :-P now THAT would be music to my ears!
Also i'd like them to do one joint strictly for comedic purposes: "Ice Ice Baby" :-D
