It misses the deadline for the thread, but "Baby, I Love Your Way" is creeping up the cover version charts, and is threatening to overtake "Yesterday".

This is an interesting thread. "Baby, One More Time" and "I Try" are definite future standards.

"I Will Survive"

Terrifying thought but I read Celine Dion 'My Heart Will Go On' is a popular choice at Dutch funerals.

what's scary is probably the most Standardized band lately (if we're going by george gosset's standards, which i agree with) is Radiohead

Mark are you trolling for material on a piece about standards today, or what?

thirteen years pass...

Surprised this thread fizzled out. Anyway, I was thinking of Kool & the Gang's "Celebration," which was 1980 but still inconceivable at this point as anything other than a ubiquitous popular standard that you always hear at public events and, well, celebrations. What else has had its wedding band status solidified in the past couple of decades? I have a hunch "Uptown Funk" will stick around for parties and cover bands. I heard a cover band play it in a park the other day and the crowd immediately perked up and started dancing.
