Slash's Snakepit, "Beggars & Hangers-on" from It's Five O'Clock Somewhere (1995)

Joey Barnes: Kid Rock?

Daughtry: Ben Harper? I feel like I've heard this before. Is it a country song? Velvet Revolver? But it is Slash.

VH1: Slash's Snakepit.

D: I really sucked on that one. I didn't really listen to the Snakepit stuff. I don't remember this. I bribed him [to work with me]. With snakes and pits. We thought it was a good fit so we put the word out there and thought that maybe he would do it, and he did. He's totally cool. Kind of quiet, but a very humble dude.

Elton John, "Come Down in Time" from Tumbleweed Connection (1970)

JB: It sounds lovely, that's for sure. Like being in a Chinese garden. That's Elton John.

D: Yeah. Hold on.

JB: "Come Down in Time."

D: [My introduction] was Tumbleweed Connection. Actually a friend of mine, about 2001, 2002, introduced me to that record, and the song "Madman Across the Water."

JB: Sting did a cover of this song -- amazing.

D: I've said Elton John would be a dream collaboration.

The Killers, "For Reasons Unknown" from Sam's Town (2006)

JB: Killers.

D: He got it. He's a music expert. That's why I bring him along.

JB: They're carrying on that thing Duran Duran did before. But with this album, it's different.

D: I know the songs -- obviously they're on the radio -- and I love them. It's not the same stuff you hear all the time. There's a lot of thought in the writing and movement.

TO GET SONGS BY CHRIS DAUGHTRY AND LOTS OF OTHER ARTISTS, GO TO URGE.

Pearl Jam, "Tremor Christ" from Vitalogy (1994)

JB: Pearl Jam.

D: Damn! Give me a second, brother.

JB: "Tremor Christ." Vitalogy, third album.

D: I didn't have that record. I had Ten. "Evenflow," "Black." Who didn't have that album? I do know this song -- it took me a while. I listened to Vitalogy from other people. This is the one with "Better Man" and "Nothingman." I did meet Eddie Vedder; Mr. Clive Davis introduced me to him at a concert in New York. I saw them for the first time last year. It was awesome. It was like seeing -- and this isn't in a bad way -- like seeing a really good bar band in an arena. No flashy production, just them. It was all about them and the music. No huge things to take away from their musicianship. I actually met the Olsen Twins at that concert. That was pretty bizarre.

Chris Cornell, "Can't Change Me" from Euphoria Morning (1999)

D: Chris Cornell. "Can't Change Me"! I love Chris Cornell. I love Soundgarden. I think this was probably, in my opinion, the last great thing he did -- this album. Something about his voice on this record, it just sucks you in. This album is awesome.

JB: I think he's trying to find other avenues for himself, his voice, his music. Explore other things rather than [being] the guy from Soundgarden. He's trying to break away from that.

D: It'd be pretty awesome to hang with that guy. I'd really pick his brain. I'd try to get into his head a little bit.

Lisa Marie Presley, "Lights Out" from To Whom It May Concern (2003)

D: I know this, hold on. Let me hear some vocals. Sheryl Crow?

JB: Gretchen Wilson?

D: Is it the Wreckers?

JB: Lisa Marie Presley?

D: I actually talked to Lisa Marie a few weeks ago. We were on tour in Memphis, and I gave her a call to see if we could go to Graceland. The opening band that we had with us, the singer worships Elvis. So I thought I'd do it for him. She hooked it up for us. She's totally cool.

Stevie Wonder, "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" from The Twelve Year Old Genius

JB: Stevie Wonder, "Uptight"!

D: I was going to say the Four Tops. I actually got to sit on a stool right beside him, when I was on that TV show called American Idol. He had us sing, it wasn't one of his songs. He made up a little medley. A very warm dude -- when he walks in the room you don't even get nervous. He came to surprise us.
