My homer pick is Zac Brown Band - Jolene. It really is good though. I also love Toad the Wet Sprockets version of KISS I wanna Rock and Roll all night.

Who did I don't wanna miss a thing before Aerosmith?

Aerosmith did do it first. Chestnut covered it after it was released. He didn't want to cover it until he found out that Aerosmith did it because he thought it was a wuss song but he said Aerosmith ain't no wusses so he then covered...

Aint too proud to beg done by the temptations covered by the Rolling Stones Twist and shout by the isley brothers done by the Beatles
