For our upcoming show playing side stage for 3 Doors Down & Candlebox we were told to play a few covers. We're probably doing this one. It's ridiculously easy.

1: FUNKYTOWN - LIPPS, INC.

All 3 of us guessing the #1 picked this one.
 
The Rose, written by Amanda McBroom, has been recorded by more than 200 artists including Eddy Arnold, Joan Baez, Floyd Cramer, Frank Mills, Jim Brickman, Don Williams, Bonnie Tyler, Freddy Cole, Shirley Bassey, Burl Ives, Judy Collins, Nana Moskouri, Sister Janet Mead, Kathie Lee Gifford, LeAnn Rimes and Westlife. A version by Conway Twitty went to number one on the country chart in March 1983.

Amanda McBroom recorded the song twice, in 1980 for her album with pianist Lincoln Mayorga, Growing Up In Hollywood, and in 1986 for her album Dreaming, released by Gecko Records, the label she co-founded with her manager Garry George in 1985. Here is the Growing Up In Hollywood album. The Rose begins at 5:53.

 
I guess The Rose is a sappy song, but this lyric always gets me.

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
