We thought we’d seen (and heard) it all on Glee. But “Thanksgiving,” the eighth episode of the show’s current Season 4, hit us with an aural left hook we never saw coming: Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” And at Sectionals, no less!
Say whaaaa? Clearly all bets are off when it comes to Fox’s high-school musical. And that got our inner DJ in a brainstorming frenzy: What other songs should Glee cover between now and the end of the season? So many good ones, so little time!

I’d like to see someone (maybe the New Yorkers) do Cathedrals by Jump Little Children at some point. I’d also really like to see Show Me What I’m Looking for by Carolina Liar or Somebody Told Me by The Killers
Blaine should sing nothing. For the rest of the season. He’s more than worn out his welcome.
Brittany and Santana – Show Me Love by tATu
Kurt – Get Over You by Sophie Ellis-Bextor
A long shot, but I’d like Dave Karofsky to finally reappear and get a song, preferably by Sinatra or Dean Martin. I’d suggest ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’.
Sugar – Rockstar by Prima J.
Tina – That’s The Way It Is by Celine Dion
Kurt should also sing something in his lower tones.
Finn – No Surprises by Radiohead.
Mercedes – Skyfall by Adele.
Puck – You Know My Name by Chris Cornell.
Quinn – Booty Call by All Saints (it would be hilarious).

Alex Clare’s TOO CLOSE – might be more fitting for Finn or Kurt/Blaine in terms of storyline, but vocally speaking, I’d REALLY like to hear ARTIE sing this! He’s got the gritty vocals for it.
I’d like Rachel to sing all of the songs! Ya know why? ‘Cause I only watch the show for her story! I don’t care about the glee club anymore! No one does!
i would like to see an episode of just new wave music:
The Cure
The Smiths
Depeche Mode
New Order
Book of Love
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Erasure
Echo and the Bunnymen
Yaz
Yazoo
Violent Femmes
Psychedelic Furs
ABC
Thompson Twins
Duran Duran
most of the above groups could also have full episodes on their own as well.
can we pretty please stop with marley? i actually don’t mind new characters at the beginning, but now she’s pretty much get all the songs and story arc in every single episode which really makes me pissed because her story and her acting are definitely the best. i really missed rachel, finn, kurt and santana tbh and clerly they are the better performers of this show but they writers really under-utilize them to give marley BOTH story arcs and songs, like REALLY??? the originals are the one who makes the shows famous in the first place and most of people still more invested in their characters than in the newbies
we already into 8 episodes and many reputable tv sites criticizing the newbies characters and storyline and praising the original casts acting&storylines(breakup episodes and glease just to name a few) so i don’t understand either why the writers are so obsessed with marley jake kitty ryder thing and abandon the originals now. i read some reviewers and i have to agree with them that they have one of the most talented casts in television right now but their writers are one of the most clueless writers in televisions right now
We need a british invasion episode with britpop songs, The Beatles or another big Madonna episode.

There is a tale that the Island people tell
Don’t know if it is true but I love it so well
Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night
People fed him well ’cause he treated them so right
Oh oh oh oh Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh make Orion ring
Well he always like to go to the islands near and far
He always found his way by Orion lucky star
He’d tell them of their joys, he’d tell them of their woes
They loved to see him come, they’d hate to see him go
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring
He was makin’ his way home on a dark and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help, and he saw a passin’ light
When he reached the other boat, offered them a hand
They said Give us all your cargo
As they took a pirate stand
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, give ‘em everything
Jolly Mon it’s over sing your last song very well
They tossed him in the ocean
’cause their hearts were made in Hell
Came along a dolphin, he said, Jolly Mon hello!
I’ve always loved your singing, climb aboard, don’t let go
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, give ‘em everything
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
Swam into the heavens and they stayed up in the sky
And all the Island people when they wish upon a star
See the Dolphin and the Jolly Mon
Who tell them where they are
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, give ‘em everything
Oh oh oh oh, Jolly Mon sing
Oh oh oh oh, make the magic ring
“Free Fallin’” is a great idea! I would love it if they did a whole Tom Petty tribute episode, especially if they would let Samuel Larsen sing some more solos. I think he has such an amazing voice.
I totally want them to do a boy-band epiesoid but even more to have One Direction on the show in like a Christmas one that would be so awsome, a good challange, they each could have seprate parts to go with their personalities so that would be extremly funny not just with their accents and the way they act is just really funny and goofy altogether!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see Kurt and Blaine sing “What You Own” from RENT. Kurt singing the Mark part and Blaine singing the Roger part. Whatever happens to them, it would play to either a reunion of friends or lovers.

You Found Me by The Fray, sung by Darren Criss to Kurt in a make up/make out scene.
Puck should sing oh love by green day, Tina should sing already gone by Kelly clarkson, and kitty should sing we are never ever getting back together by Taylor swift
For all those People and the Owner of this site, the song ‘CABARET’ was already done one Glee SEASON 1. In The Rhodes Not Taken, the fifth episode of Season One. Sang by Rachel Berry, herself.
Season finale: Lauren Ambrose ('Six Feet Under') and Pablo Schreiber ('The Wire') guest-star in an ep in which a Central Park flasher turns out to be someone much badder -- and far more cunning -- than the SVU squad expects.
