This is kind of an emergency, albiet a small one, but I'm gonna leave this post up for awhile until I get a lot of reponses. SO ANSWER ME!!!
I'm working on the Curiosity live show right now. I need at least a 45 minute set, and the only album I've ever released comes to about 45 minutes. And some of the songs (the slow ones) aren't gonna be played live. I've recorded two new songs, and plan on recording two more. But it won't be enough. My songs are typically two and a half minutes. (Now I realize why Mindless Self Indulgence plays their entire catalog live.)
So that leaves only one option: COVERS.
I'm thinking of doing "One Night in Bangkok." But I need other ideas. If there's a song you think Curiosity should cover, post it here!!!

"C: It's gonna sound much like a Curiosity album does. It will have jazz influences but I wouldn't categorize it directly as jazz, like iTunes did. I suppose it's because they don't have a category called Industrial Jazz. " your website
