Sexy soft rocker and Season 7 Winner of American Idol,[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] David Cook[/lastfm], just released a new video for his original song “The Last Goodbye” and announced that he was going back on American Idol to do a live performance of the 1985[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Simple Minds[/lastfm] hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”

Cook has always had a super unique take on the covers that he does of any song; each song comes out sounding like a David Cook original. In honor of his upcoming sophomore album, This Loud Morning, and his American Idol performance, we decided to do a retrospective on some of our Favorite Covers From David Cook.

10. “Hungry Like The Wolf” (originally sung by [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Duran Duran[/lastfm])

Maybe he doesn’t have the sexy, synthy sound that Duran Duran had, but Cook’s rendition of “Hungry Like The Wolf” made us hungry for more.

Thanks for the nice article on David! Now how about PLAYING his new single on air??? The Last Goodbye is a great song, and I’d love to hear it get the plays it deserves. My favorite cover? The First Time Ever. After 3 years, it still gives me chills every time.

Great choices. Wish “The World I Know” was on the list tho. Better than “Still Havent Found What I’m Looking For” on my list.

While I absolutely loved each of your picks, mine will always be David’s beautiful cover of The World I Know by Collective Soul. He owns that song now. Sorry, Collective Soul!
