Not On Your Nelly (Furtado)
Bloc Party played two tracks on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge a couple days ago...an acoustic rendition of 'I Still Remember' and, in keeping with Live Lounge tradition, a highly improbable cover version.
And, in case you want to play spot the difference, here's the original track:

A Nelly Furtado album track isn't one of the most obvious choices for a Bloc Party cover, but their version of 'Say It Right' could almost pass as their own work. Billowing chords? Check. Uber-uplifting chorus? Check. Hell, there's even a one-minute instrumental breakdown. Hopefully this means that Bloc Party will break their duck on the upcoming tour and add a cover to their setlist for the first time!

Amazing. Best Live Lounge performance I've ever heard. I'd like it on the set from time to time, but I'll be SPITTING MAD if it gets in ahead of "Atonement", "Tulips", "The Once And Future King", "Rhododendrons", "Storm And Stress": amazing songs Bloc have either never played live or don't play anymore. I don't understand why they can't mix it up a bit more! We're not asking much, just ONE of the rarities at each concert, mm?
