Let's hope this doesn't go to the top of the board!

Personally, I think the Who would be better for "All Revved Up With No Place to Go," and Elton should be doing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" (perhaps a duet with Rod Stewart, much like his song "Let Me Be Your Car").

Okay, maybe I'm joking. (Just a little.) I do recall a few months ago, though, someone here suggested Neil Diamond for "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."

As for the big one ("Bat Out of Hell"), the only band over-the-top enough to do it is Queen, though we all know they're only half there anymore (literally). No, I don't include Paul Rodgers. If they found the right singer to collaborate with, it'd be cool since Brian May would be perfect for the guitar part.

The perfect band for "For Crying Out Loud" is Boston, but unfortunately that can no longer happen either. Maybe Journey? (Why do all the good bands have to lose their singers???) They have that new guy Arnel, but I dunno.

Somehow in my head I think Jimmy Buffett's tropical, carefree attitude would work for "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth." Maybe I'm just delusional.

Okay, one left. "Heaven Can Wait." I think we need a woman in there, so I pick Hayley Westenra. Her voice is so beautifully pure.

So there you have it. My ideas, totally haphazard and completely bizarre. It'd probably never work, but I'd buy it. ;)
