to be really shocked that Soft Cell covered

[Jaxsbum]

Tainted Love?? I thought it was their song

Oops I don't often get caught by Internet hoaxes.

So, Steve Lamaq's a mumsnetter then? GJ's version on now.

SwedishE it came on just as I opened this thread! Bizarre coincidence.

Hi Steve.

Am so shocked about the new info about 'Oops I did it again' played by Louis Armstrong in the 1930s, I had to go off and google it. And here it is..!

katemiddleton. Yes to Geri's Raining Men it is awesome

Ooh no it's a fake! Bloody ell, glad I found that out before I went round telling everybody...

Why would you think he was dead Netball?! As a member of his fan club since the 80's and in regular contact with other fans who have been too I can assure you he's very healthy! One of the highlights of my year was seeing him live in April - first time since 1988 - and worth every single one of the 500 miles I travelled from France!!

I never realised Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil was a cover.

Nick Cave doing Something Gotten Hold of My Heart by Nick Cave.

Tom Waits doing the Disney Heigh Ho it's Off To Work We Go

Am I showing my age

Camper Van Beethoven doing Black Flags Wasted.

Doh Roger Cook wrote Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart.

OMG

The Pogues - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - Written by Eic Bugle in 1971.

They obviously did loads of covers but never thought that was one.

A few cover versions I thought were originals:-

Take The Skinheads Bowling-Manic Street Preachers (originally by Camper van Beethoven)
Diane-Therapy? (originally by HuskerDu)
Most of American IV, The Man Comes Around. I knew they were covers, but Johnny Cash made them his. Especially Hurt.

Just checked (because I love the song) and The Man Comes Around was written by Johnny Cash.

Doctor Two, I have that original L.P. by Camper van Beethoven. I am ancient.

I knew that Edith, in fact it was the song he was most proud of writing.

Liney, you are so not old. 'Cos if you are so am I. And I'm not. :o

I never knew the Manics did take the Skinheads bowling need to google that later. That was one of my favourite driving songs when I was in my yooth.

Off topic but I loved Sad lovers Waltz by Camper.

Swedish I enjoyed reading that, who knew that Kicking Against the Pricks was a bilical reference.

I did, cos I is educated innit.

I never knew the Manics did take the Skinheads bowling

They recorded two versions - one was a b side and then many years later they re-recorded it for their b sides album.

The first version was still better

Ah, misread your post Doctor.
