So far, the Rascal Flatts have done two covers of songs by popular artists, both of which were featured in motion picture movies and their respective soundtracks. The first cover was done of the song "Life Is A Highway," originally made famous by singer/songwriter Tom Cochrane in 1991. The Rascal Flatts version was done for the Disney/Pixar animated film "Cars," which was released in 2006. The song, which won "Favorite Song from a Movie" at the 33rd People’s Choice Awards, was revamped to have a more upbeat, rock-countryish sound to it. And in my opinion, the melodic voices of the Flatts are more pleasing to the ear than Tom Cochrane’s sometimes drab vocal chords.

The second cover was of the popular Beatles song "Revolution" that was released in 1968. The Rascal Flatts song appeared in the Universal Studios' 2007 movie "Evan Almighty," as well as on the soundtrack. Receiving unsolicited airplay on country music stations, it reached #57 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Like "Life Is A Highway," this version was digitally revamped with a more intense rock sound and the soulful voices of the Flatts.
