I figured we could have a thread to link us to videos of bands performing covers of U2's songs. Good or bad.  Cheesy

Here's The Pet Shop Boys doing "Streets". I like this cover, but I'm sure not everyone agrees with me.  Cheesy

There's P.O.D. doing "Bullet".

They also have an album version of it. Decent, though some lyrics are changed to make it more "Christian", even though it already kinda was...

She's more famous in Japan, but she's a native New Yorker and her native language is English.
