Busy?

I don't know 'bout y'all, but I have been crazy busy lately. By Monday night I was ready for the weekend. So, I'm wondering - what're the top five things that are keeping you busy right now?

Now, I think a good cover brings a little something different to the song - otherwise it's just karaoke, right? But, then there's the tricky business of honoring the first song while, to use the words of the American Idol judges (who frequently merely judge karaoke): "making it their own." Which is to say, artist #2 brings their own unique interpretation of the song. What are your Top Five cover songs?
