Here we go again! Cover songs, original songs, talking about when one musician makes a tune and then another musician enhances its legacy in one way or another. It might be a change in genre, slightly altered lyrics, etc. Covers are fun and fascinating! Here are some less obvious examples of when a cover becomes more popular or higher quality than the original, or it introduces it to a new generation/audience.

Mad world not being on either of these is ridiculous, get it on the next part

It is worth pointing out that BrƦndt is itself a cover even if it was the first released recording of the song, it is just that the original creators didn't release a recorded version of Torn until 1995 as the band Ednaswap.

No Doubtās cover of Itās My Life was a fraction of as good as the original Talk Talk

George Harrisonās version of Got My Mind Set On You is one of my all time favorite covers with all the 80s isms of it. Itās a lot more fun than the original too with its upbeat key change

Weird Al could take an entire episode. True they're not technically covers, but sometimes he really exceeded the original. White and Nerdy comes to mind.

For part 3, please include:
-Take Me To The River by Al Green and covered by Talking Heads
-Twist & Shout covered by The Beatles
They're all songs that saw success after they were covered and they're all songs that people think the cover artist made

PLEASE do a part 3, I'd even love another version of your dark songs with happy sounds video series

More examples:
- "The Tide Is High", originally by The Paragons, then covered to big success by Blondie (and later by Atomic Kitten, but the less is said about that version, the better).
- "Alone", originally by i-Ten, but massively improved by Heart (the "Till now" part they added to the pre-chorus makes all the difference).
- "In The Army Now", originally by Bolland & Bolland, but considerably more famous in the Status Quo version.
- "Don't Turn Around", a song that has been covered so many times, hardly anyone would even know that it was originally recorded by Tina Turner if they didn't look it up on Wikipedia. The more well-known covers are by Aswad, Bonnie Tyler and its original writer Albert Hammond, but the version with the highest chart success was by Swedish 1990s group Ace of Base.
- "Always On My Mind" was first recorded by Brenda Lee, though Gwen McCrae's version was released first. Elvis Presley's version is the one most people would incorrectly identify as the "original", with two very successful covers (by Willie Nelson and the Pet Shop Boys, respectively) charting in the 1980s.
- Though this might not qualify, "Take My Breath Away" was first recorded as a demo by The Motels, with Berlin being the band that released the official version for the Top Gun soundtrack (which was definitely the better choice).
- "Barbara Ann" was first recorded by The Regents, but the Beach Boys version easily eclipses the original.
- Arguably, Pat Benatar's version of "Wuthering Heights" is more famous in the United States than Kate Bush's original version. (With all respect to Pat, but Kate's version is something else entirely.)
- "Killing Me Softly" was originally written and recorded by Lori Lieberman, but became more famous when covered by Roberta Flack and again when covered by The Fugees.

My favorite example of a cover was Gangstaās paradise by Coolio covering Pastime by Stevie Wonder, and then Gangstaās paradise being parodied by Weird Al Yankovic to make Amish Paradise

Talk Talk is underrated

surprised you havent done Hallelujah yet. Thereās so many version. Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Pentatonix, the Shrek one, etc etc
27 |
LaBelle's version of Lady Marmalade is actually a cover too. It was originally done by The Eleventh Hour..
An interesting song to do would be Always on my Mind. Covers by Pet Shop Boys, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, and Brenda Lee. Originally by B.J. Thomas.

Part 3 would be amazing, I only just found out that "Beggin" by Madcon is a cover, I wonder how many other classics I know of are actually just covers and these videos expose me to more of those so a part 3 would be great.

Wagon wheel is a super interesting case because bob dylan wrote the chorus, Old Crowe Medicine Show wrote the rest of the song, and Darius Rucker made it popular and most people prolly donāt even know the originals

Nirvanas take on David Bowies āThe man who sold the worldā is a great cover in my opinion. The cover gives the song a whole different feel

100% agree about preferring Talk Talk's version of "It's My Life"

I want part three! Do "Crimson and Clover." Joan Jett takes that dreamy psychedelic vibe song and infuses it with lust, making it a whole 'nother thing. The first vocal sound in each version tells you what the song is going to be. Tommy James sings "Ahhh" quite softly and follows it with etherial guitar sounds. Joan Jett sings "Ahh" with longing and follows it up with loud rock guitar strumming. This song is my favorite example of how the same song can work in two completely different ways. One version makes you want to get high. The other makes you want Joan to sing that about you, lol.

Proud Mary was a great song by written by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It became a smash when covered by Tina Turner.

Alison Kraussās cover of the Foundationsā āBaby Now That I Found Youā deserves a mention. She brilliantly transforms the song.
