Song 2: Come What May (Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor, Moulin Rouge)
Hmm, this is a tough one. It's a little embarrassing that I own the Moulin Rouge soundtrack--especially since it's a two CD set. I usually hate girly or cheesy movies, but I really liked Moulin Rouge. Possibly because of that cutie-pie Ewan McGregor.
A lot of the songs from the movie are current songs sung in a different style. Like the tango version of "Roxanne" in Moulin Rouge. I've realized that many of the songs in my ipod are songs that have been covered by new performers in a different style than the original--and those are some of my favorites. The Recliners are (were?) a local band that I first heard in college, and even hired them for my wedding. They sing typical lounge-style songs like Frank Sinatra selections, but they also cover current songs in a lounge style. . .like "Back in Black" and "Fight For Your Right (to Party)." I also have a couple of CDs of hair band music covered acoustically (by the original artist). All favorites! Hmm. . .maybe I just like 80's songs re-done in different styles because I love 80's music. ha!

Totally jealous that you hired the Recliners! I wanted to but they are pretty pricey and were a bit out of our already extended budget. I bet you had a hell of a wedding! Would have loved to have been there to see them play. :)
(and don't be embarrassed about owning the Moulin Rouge soundtrack-I own three copies of Annie!!)
