5. Bowling for Soup – “1985” (Original by SR-71)
Before their days of doing almost nothing but Chuck E. Cheese commercials, Bowling for Soup was actually a fairly popular band at their peak. Back in 7th grade, I remember “1985” being one of the most requested songs at dances, and everyone would be jumping as soon as it started. To our eventual surprise, we learned that this song wasn’t even a Bowling for Soup original, but was actually a cover song they performed. It seems kind of ironic that their most well known piece is just a cover, but either way, they do a great job of improving upon it, and in a way, making it their own.
