I saw the Toadies live back in the '90s, and one of the songs they played was a slowed-down, even-more-lecherous-than-the-original version of Rod Stewart's "Hotlegs".

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps
To the old willow tree

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries
In a drunken town fight
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born
On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light

Across The Universe is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and performed here by David Bowie. It is from the album Young Americans in 1975.

^Todd Rundgren not only wrote "Hello It's Me", which was a major hit for him off the 1972 album Something, Anything, he was also a founding member of Nazz. So, he covered himself?
