Hi Not really a puzzle in the usual sense, so if it needs to move to Mixed Bag please feel free, but there is hopefully some thoughtful and fun head scratching nonetheless. It came to mind from an ongoing thread at MIxed Bag about things we like to listen to. Put simply, what band or performer based on their name should have performed a song based on its name. For example: Losing My Religion (REM) should have been performed by Faith No More Who Let The Dogs Out (Baha Men) should have been performed by Bow Wow Wow The best answer by consensus and acclamation wins this bright shiny car

Nice one, flotsam! How's about: Up where we belong - The Eagles Another brick in the wall - Men at Work

Fun idea!  All By Myself by Maroon 5 There's a Fly in My Soup by Glen Campbell Amazing Grace by Madonna
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

War and When The Battle Is Over by the Attack Like A Rolling Stone by Ronnie Wood (or any of them, and they have of course covered it: not sure whether any of their progeny are musical enough to sing Papa Was A Rolling Stone...) Wind Beneath My Wings by the Eagles or the Jefferson Airplane or Flock of Seagulls (and probably several other candidates) Get Me To The Church On Time by Amen Corner Great game idea, flotsam, and some cool suggestions from everyone!

Lex,
I do think Cars also should have covered Paul Simon's "Cars Are Cars."
Flotsam,
I was thinking that Debussy's La Mer would be too difficult for Seals and Crofts, but a good sea chanty like "Greenland Fisheries" or "Shoals of Herring" might be good.
Also:

Nice ones MR A sea shanty would be excellent LK, and maybe to feature the latter half, what about Rain On The Scarecrow? And Little Red Corvette is another for The Cars. Frontier Psychiatrist - Pavlov's Dog Romeo and Juliet - The Romantics Halo - The Angels (an excellent Australian band from the late 70s and 80s)

ABC - ZZ Top (RIP Dusty Hill) A couple more for the Cars - Long Black Limousine and Chauffeur Blues Excellent Gordon Lightfoot suggestion from michele rose!  (Paul Simon's song Cars Are Cars was a new one to me, and the rather impressive Angels were a new act to me)

I particularly liked the Stills one UW Staying with the theme ... Big Yellow Taxi - Deathcab For Cutie Im In Love With My Car - Rage Against The Machine Glad you liked The Angels Lex. They were my go-to pub band at the time. The song for which they are iconically known is Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. A reowrked version of a terribly boring effort once they reinvented themselves to be way heavier, here is a 1979 version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLZl6vgT7HMNot long after, a very fun and boozy ((and not entirely appropriate aka rude words) audience refrain sprung up at live performances. How many times did I go hoarse as a result! Two links below also highlight the tempo at which they variously performed the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jLoxp8EmoMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-lO3tZDKLQSo many great Aussie bands of that period.

Flotsam, did the Angels have a change of vocalist or did the vocalist have a radical change of image? My favourite Australian offerings are just about anything by Emily Barker (now a UK resident) but especially the album Dear River, Diesel and Dust by Midnight Oil, The Kick by INXS, and of course some of the BeeGees material (although at least some of them were born in the Isle of Man and a statue of them has recently been erected here). But back to the theme, perhaps Drive All Night by Midnight Oil or The Cars

No change Lex; he aged and then got quite sick. He was 67 when he passed away in 2014.
I didn't know the Gibb boys came specifically from Isle of man. And I don't know Emily Barker so will check out Dear RIver. The other two are classics.
Re the theme, The Cars would certainly have an extensive catalogue. We could add Little Red Corvette, Mustang Sally, Highway Star, Heel on Wheels and lots more.
To change tack, there was an Ozzie band for a brief fleeting moment called Big Pig. What songs might they sing??

I have that song on one of their albums flotsam, and as it so happens I found that performance yesterday while exploring Latent Recordings and The Latent Lounge, which also led me to Lee Harvey Osmond, a collaboration with Tom Wilson (of whom I was previously unaware). This is another Neil Young cover of theirs which I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvy4jxqxbbcClearly The Cowboy Junkies should also have performed Heroin, Cocaine, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Nicotine And Alcohol, Novocaine For The Soul and perhaps Love Is The Drug!

...on the other hand, for Dr Feelgood, just add milk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTbzyqr0TRo But back to the main theme, Colours by Simply Red and A Whiter Shade Of Pale by the White Stripes (or has someone else already suggested those?)  ...going a little off theme again (but perhaps not entirely) I saw and could not resist this clip about inappropriate wedding songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8S2u8_vSnc

The somewhat trite answer is ... Spoon. There is apparently a band called Stir (never heard of them myselves but google knows all). I will have to think harder

Spoonful by Medicine Head, and of course Cream (who did perform it)

Speaking of Cream, what might they have done?
No Milk Today, Strawberry Fields Forever and and of course Whip It

(Simply) The Best, and perhaps The Cat Crept In should have been performed by Cream... ....and appropriately Sitting On Top Of The World was actually performed by Cream

Whiter Shade Of Pale would be another song for Cream.

And what an excellent song it is Lex  The Public Image song Rise could be another in the catalogue.

Lets get to 100 posts before we all get shiny red cars!
So rather appropriately, what would Haircut 100 sing?

Off the top of my head my first suggestion is Almost Cut My Hair and I think there was a song called Hair in the Musical of that name There appears to be a band called The Beards who sing a lot of beard related songs and I also found this list of top hair related songs https://www.gemtracks.com/guides/view.php?title=top-songs-about-hair&id=749
