I narrowed down the list to songs that are either on an official release and/or were performed more than ten times. For that reason Jailbreak is on the list even though it was never officially released. It's also why Be My Baby is on the list even though it was only played once. Just wanted to keep there from being too many to choose from. I set it to close in a week from now when the results will be shared

I was so excited to see them do Jailbreak. And they of course crushed it.
Edited to write that I like most all of the covers they’ve done, but Maserati GT/I Ain’t Got You from OYFOOYK (and also Live In the West) is magical.

Does anyone else remember the Boys performing Helen Reddy's I Am Woman, or are my meds just kicking in?

I voted for Be My Baby, because only a male band comfortable with their sexuality would dare cover that song(no comment on Andy Kim, lol!). Eric's vocals are spot on, and the backing vocals are also great. The only way it could have been better would be with Ronnie Spector doing lead vocals.

Makes me think of the opposite direction here, Philadelphia's own Robert Hazard being the original writer of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Of course in his version, he's going out to the bar to get laid because "these girls just wanna have fun" lol

... and what about "Substitute"? According to the list I was looking at they didn't perform that all that many times. I kinda created an artificial minimum entry qualification just from keeping the poll from being 30+ choices. I figured it was reasonable to say they either performed it more than ten times and/or it's on an official release. Kept it simple.

Bolle Gregmar always said that BÖC is the best cover band ever.
Tough choice, I almost went with Be My Baby but chose I Want You.

Substitute was actually officially released on The Columbia Albums Collectiön Sampler.

Not a BÖC cover, but I love Buck’s take on Fall at your Feet. Much better than the original IMO. If there is another Buck Dharma solo album in the future, I would vote he include this.
