during the last week of school, the physics teacher and I played guitar/bass for the kids.  Of course there was a huge gap in what they knew vs. what we knew.  In one class, a student took the guitar and sang "More Than Words" with another classmate!  I was pretty floored they knew it.  Probably some cover somewhere.

Dave sounded like he really wanted Gerardo ;) ;) so he could say "Rrrrrrrrrrrico"

You're exactly right: it was covered for a minor hit by an R&B singer called Frankie J last year:
