to have only just discovered that the song 'Make you feel my love'...

[Ihavewelliesbutitssunny]

wasn't originally by Adele but Bob Dylan and to be feeling a bit indignant that a) no-one told me and b) everyone (including me) loved Adele because of that song and it wasn't even hers (although I do prefer her version)

Are there any other covers I should know about?

You are always on my mind was originally sang by Willie Nelson, not Elvis (or Pet Shop Boys for that matter) although I do love the PSB version!

Who was Proud Mary originally? Thats the only one I didn't know.

Lovesong on Adele's 21 album is originally by The Cure. She did it well though.
I prefer her version of Make you feel my love too.

Proud Mary is originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival, great band!

Should we all know everything about everything? Stop with the snobby high-horse stuff.

Wham's Last Christmas was actually written by Bing Crosby in 1949.

ShengdanRoad I've found this thread very interesting and I don't think people are getting up on snobby high horses at all. I think there are a lot of people who actually enjoy finding out bits of information and you never know when it's going to come up on Trivial Pursuit.

We had the Luka Bloom version for our first dance at our wedding long before Adele did it. I think his cover is better than Adele's. My husband is Irish and we played Luka Bloom a lot when we starting going out.

I love the song Make You Feel My Love. My cousin sang it whilst we signed the register at our wedding. it was the only time I really cried during the ceremony! It was so beautiful!

Greensleeves wasn't written by Henry VIII

:o Proudnscary

You Can't Hurry Love wasn't by bastarding Phil Collins either.

High and Dry isn't by Jamie Cullum.

Eternal Flame isn't by Atomic Kitten or whoever murdered it a while back.

All of those covers make me want to cry, and not in a sentimental way, in a "how can these dreadful people continue unstruck by thunderbolts?" way.

or unstricken perhaps.

I didn't know, either.

Adele is a creepy fucker anyway. She could do a cover of Edelweiss and make it sound like an ode to stalking your ex.

How Can I Live, if Livin is Without You, was not written by Mariah Carey or Harry Nillsen, but british band Badfinger, who had it as an album track.

'She's the one' wasn't by Robbie Bloody Williams

pmsl@'Last Christmas' bring by Bing Crosby

being

(still cross about the Robbie thing, obviously)

Torn wasn't by Natalie Imbruglia. I remember Chris Evans having a hissy fit over that on-air because he felt 'cheated' that some Scandiwegian band had actually written it... not sure what stopped him from reading the record label rather than just assuming it was written by her...

pmsl @ Adele being a creepy fucker - glad I'm not the only one who thinks that!

I did not know that.

belgo - was the cover you were thinking of "Wherever you will go" by Charlene Soraia (was it originally The Calling? Didn't like original as much anyway.)

No More I love Yous wasn't written by Annie Lennox, was The Pale Fountains and theirs was far superior so ner ner ner ner ner

I just don't like Annie Lennox's voice

YABU

Baby Micheal Jackson , Credence Clearwater Revival, Thin Lizzy

perfumedlife- I thought 'No more i love yous' was by 'The Lover Speaks'?

The album it was off, was an album of cover versions (mostly rubbish) though.

Gosh, that's who I meant Raahh, sorry

I love Bob Dylan so I knew. It's a shame that more of his less well known songs aren't covered by more people.
