I believe it was made for BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge but i'm not sure. On that radio show they have artists perform live versions of songs WAYY out of their own genre. This cover is so good not at all like Manson's other covers.&lt;br&gt;DL:&amp;nbsp;  &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/noekbg"&gt;http://www.sendspace.com/file/noekbg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Artist: Olivia Newton-John&lt;br&gt;Song: Physical&lt;br&gt;Info: Born in Cambridge, England in 1948, the youngest child of Professor

You," co-produced by John Farrar, who she continues to collaborate with
today.&lt;br&gt;Comments: Only the BEST Olivia Newton-John song. If this was in Grease I might actually like that movie. I guess this song is supposed to be about sex, but I never knew that until recently...I always assumed it was about exercising.

the hammered dulcimer, the lap dulcimer and the Irish tin whistle.&lt;br&gt;Comments: Even though this song is Christian...it has kinda skanky background music. I would go to church if all the songs has skanky 80s background music that kinda reminds me of Patrick Swayze (get well soon dawg). But, seriously this song has one of the prettiest choruses out of the God songs that I know.

N/A all last.fm has available really is "The singer who sings pop music from jazz, bossa nova".&lt;br&gt;Comments: If Britney Spears was never Britney Spears and was instead Michelle Branch or Jewel this is what Baby One More Time... would have sounded like. This is the best cover of Baby One More Time... that I've heard thus far.

gospel group The Imperials. Shortly after, he signed a record deal with
Sparrow Records, where he rose to prominence.&lt;br&gt;Comments: I LOVE this song :D It's Christian, but it's like Jars of Clay "I fooled into listening" type Christian music. If I didn't tell you it was Christian you wouldn't have known probably until the end where I believe he says something along the lines of "I want to dive into Jesus" or something...&lt;br&gt;DL: &lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/n1yqg3"&gt;http://www.sendspace.com/file/n1yqg3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 64, 64);"&gt;P.S.

It's not that I used to HATE country music, it just wasn't my style for awhile. These are the country songs that I listen to very very often and that are on constant rotation on my Ipod. Their not to honky or twangy which is what I like. Most of these artists actually lean more towards a borderline pop sound.
