My favourite is most definitely "Lucky"

But someday I would love to hear what Duke could do with the Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams are made of this"... think it would work so well

Time after Time - Cyndi Lauper would be a good one. I would love to hear Duke sing this. An unusual one would be Burt Bacharach's Trains and Boats and Planes, Ben would be magic at this. Showing my age here!

Letter to Hermione

Power of Love is a very close second - does that exist anywhere (ie a CD or DVD) other than youtube?

"Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" Peter's a bit old now but its very topical i guess....

A close second would be Wilson Phillips - Hold on

Absolutely love his recording of Lucky, any other versions of Radiohead classics would be brilliant with a touch of the Duke. Im thinking Karma Police, High and Dry,etc. A local Belfast singer songwriter Laura Stevenson does an incredible piano version of There There, which would sound beautiful done by Duke

Theres a recording of it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhEAZFg6awI

Imagine the beauty of this song sung by Duke!

I love that song! When it first came out I tried to work out all the vocal parts!

Maps! Such a gorgeous song, and Duke's version really does it justice.

where did the the Power of Love cover appear? I've not heard that one and thought I had tracked down all Duke's recordings

If you type in Duke Special, Power of Love in youtube it will take it up. it was on the Will Leahy show i think.

i appear to have been the first person to have voted "i drove all night" although didn't quite read the poll, ie apparently recorded songs rather than live, if thats the case, is there a recorded version of drove all night as if so i haven't heard it (only live)?

Apparently Holly Johnson had twittered (tweeted?) it a few weeks back when he'd just found it on youtube and it brought a tear to his eye (I think he liked it!) - the video and twitter link are here: http://caroline.tumblr.com/post/280247964/duke-special-sings-the-power-of-love-via
