Songs you didn't realise were covers

[hoarahloux]

I almost grew up with Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. I used to put the music video channels on TV in the early morning before my parents got up. I loved it, she was one of my first crushes. I watched the video of it over and over again and was bemused how the man was so normal when she was so incredible.

It wasn't until much later I found out that the song was a cover, and the original by Ednaswap was almost identical so it wasn't even an interesting cover!

Hurt by Johnny Cash. My mind was blown when I found out he didn't do the original version.

What’s Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner.

It’s a cover of a Bucks Fizz song!

Say hello wave goodbye - David gray, cover from the 80s (can’t remember who it was)

Baby I love your way by Big mountain . Had no idea it was a cover when I first heard it (and I think another band had covered it a few years before them as well)

Not wanting to give away any spoilers but after watching a certain film in the cinema last night,I never knew McArthur park by Donna Summer was a cover 🤦‍♂️😱

Nine Inch Nails! It doesn't seem like the two should have even co-existed.

Soft Cell

Soft Cell. One of my favourite songs (their version).

Soft Cell

Ray of Light by Madonna is a cover.

I Think We’re Alone Now by Tiffany.

Or did I dream that?

Happy Mondays' Step On was first recorded in 1971.

No it isn't.

Bob Dylan did knocking on heaven’s door before guns and roses

Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss
Robbie Williams - She's the One

I stand corrected.

Adele - make you feel my love (bob Dylan)

Along with 449 other covers

450 different artists
It was first released commercially in August 1997 by Billy Joel for his compilation album Greatest Hits Volume III. It is one of the few songs to have achieved the status of becoming a "standard" in the 21st century, having been covered by more than 450 different artists.

Wow I had no idea!

Didn’t know about Torn!

I knew I had heard this!

Wet wet wet love is all around.

‘I Will Always Love You’ - Dolly Parton

Mind actually blown

That one was Dolly's first before it was covered. She wrote it for Porter Wagoner

No! Really?
