Default Dream Bon Jovi Cover song?

Was cyber-chatting about music last night. Someone pointed out that the Every Time You Go Away had been written by Hall and Oates but given to the then unknown-in-America Paul Young, and wondered, "Why didn't they record it themselves? Didn't they realize how good it was?"

Someone responded, "Otis Redding recorded his song Respect, but I wonder if he regrets giving it to Aretha Franklin." That led someone to write, "You could say the same thing about Carole King's song Natural Woman, which Aretha also made a huge hit."

That got me to thinking, "If I could pick a song for Bon Jovi to cover, what would it be?" I'd love to hear Tico, Richie, and Dave kicking the sh*t out of --with Jon looking like deer in headlights and Huey tying them up with a fat slow deep hard filthy throbbing bass line!

Done:

'Rockin' In The Free World' - Neil Young
'With A Little Help From My Friends' - Joe Cocker

Should do (just in my opinion):

'Come Together' - The Beatles
'Dancing In The Dark' - Bruce Springsteen

Dancing in the dark would be cool.

Glad they did 'Turn the page' by the way. One of my fav songs and great version by Jovi.

Let's see:

I'd love to see Richie do Purple Rain - but that's been asked by many

A strange one but I'm curious how it would sound when they play
'Everything I do (I do it for you) by Bryan Adams

And:

Fighter by Cristina Aguilera (been thinking that would really have been a huge hit if Bon Jovi wrote that instead of Christina.


But i go for 'Time like these' by Foo Fighters

Something by the following artists:
Bryan Adams (A ballad or Summer of '69 would be fun live)
Meat Loaf (One of the ballad, Jon probably couldn't do BOOH justice)
Alice Cooper
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me (For the lulz)
Nickelback (If today was your last day reminds me of Jovis style)
