I haven't heard anyone do a cover either. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job so it might be good that people just leave that song alone. By the way, which of the M&M collections on CD is the best one to get?

Are there other songs on there that compare to Echo Beach?

Pulling on the covers thread, Robert Forster (ex- and current Go-Betweens) does a cover of "Echo Beach" on his 1994 album, I Had a New York Girlfriend. I would agree with EchoBeachBunnyBoy that nothing compares to the original though.
