Label Person One: "So, we're doing this 'Life Beyond Mars' album of David Bowie covers."
Label Person Two: "I think it's going to be a big success. Our 'Exit Music' album of Radiohead covers went down really well."
Label Person One: "We've got some good artists lined up — Heartbreak, Au Revoir Simone, Leo Minor… But what we really need is someone who'll give the album a big finish. "
Label Person Two: "How about we get The Thing to cover 'Life On Mars' for the final track?"
Label Person One: "Great idea. They're not going to do anything too avant garde, are they?"
Label person Two: "No, I'll make sure they give us a big, singalong anthem."
