Answer:
Velvet Revolver
"Cant Get It Out My Head" was the second and most popular single released from ELO's fourth album "El Dorado" in 1974. As a single "Cant Get It Out of My Head" reached as high as number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ironically the single did poorly in the UK. During this time the band was considerably more popular in the US and France and still not well known in their home-base in the UK.
Velvet Revolver was the collaboration of Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum, Dave Kushner of Twisted Youth and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots. The band's first album, 2004's "Contraband" was very successful selling over 2,000,000 units and was certified double platinum. The groups second album, 2007's "Libertad" was not as successful but did contain the hard rocking version of "Cant Get It Out of My Head". The group broke up in 2008 due mostly to the tension caused by Scot Weiland's continued drug problems.
The Fountains of Wayne released a live track of their cover version for "Can't Get It Out of My Head" as b-side to their single CD "Sink to the Bottom". Fountains of Wayne is best known for their hit 2003 song "Stacy's Mom" and for co-founder Adam Schlesinger's Academy Award nomination as the songwriter for 1997's "That Thing You Do". Chickenfoot is another super-group formed by Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Traveling Willburys are one of the true super-groups from the 1990s. The Wilburys featured Jeff Lynn of ELO, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and George Harrison of the Beatles.
