Lenny Bruce and Lester Banks

Just found REM doing 'Wall of Death' from the Beat the Retreat Thompson tribute album on Rhapsody. Another ninety-nine cents, another track on the REMade album. (Unfortunately they don't have the whole album. May have to go to Amazon.)

Oh, wait, are you looking for people covering REM, or REM covering other people? If it is the latter, there's also "First We Take Manhattan"; but I'd thought it was the former.

I have "Beat the Retreat", as it happens (got it used, which is good, as I recall not loving it--I haven't even MP3d it yet).

I am looking for people covering REM, REM covering other people (King of the Road from Dead Letter Office, also No Doubt doing End of the World) and I'm including the William S. Burroughs 'Star Me Kitten' as well. (: Variations on a theme is the theme. If they had an Unplugged album, I might pull a track off that.
