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.

i speak for the people when i say we want part 3
You dont speak for me and my momma and my nana
@@fishboymanshark true😔
@@annaisntcool please change your profile picture. I have lost my favorite uncle from this way, and your profile picture seems like its making fun of it. My uncle was a very kind wise and straightforward man, he loved to joke around and talk about my aunt almost everyday. That’s why he was my favorite, cause of his beautiful smile and his warm personality. So seeing your profile picture is like a sign of foolery towards his death, i feel ashamed from just looking at it. I know you probably don’t support it, but please change it, it’s for the best….
@@fishboymanshark true😔
we agree
Mad world not being on either of these is ridiculous, get it on the next part
It's ridiculous you think that terrible cover belongs anywhere
@@fishboymanshark it overshadowed it certainly, an episode about covers that sucked compared to their often forgotten originals would be sick
I absolutely agree, bye, the cover sucks
@@cybercrasherstv so youre a blatant troll? Get off the channel and get a job.
George Harrison’s version of Got My Mind Set On You is one of my all time favorite covers with all the 80s isms of it. It’s a lot more fun than the original too with its upbeat key change
The most unlikable beatle.
@@fishboymanshark does john lennon not exist?
@@markcollins5534 John lennon was an excellent artist, george harrison was a blatant ripoff and far too young for the beatles. NEXT
@@fishboymanshark John Lennon beat his wife and abandoned his child....
@@fishboymansharkGeorge Harrison: the best looking Beatle, possibly (not sure) had the most experimental ideas.
It is worth pointing out that Brændt 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.
Lay off the pot dude, it wasnt a cover lol ❤😊
@@fishboymanshark yes it is ;) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torn_(Ednaswap_song)
@@fishboymanshark ohhhh to be so confident and so wrong
I'm surprised @alfomedia didn't mention Ednaswap's version of Torn. That's the first one I knew about.
came here to say this. the song was written by members of the band Ednaswap.
PLEASE do a part 3, I'd even love another version of your dark songs with happy sounds video series
And i'd love an educational music video but he cannot seem to deliver one.
dark songs with happy sounds is my favorite.
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
Twist and Shout is a ripoff of La Bamba to a very large degree.
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.
Fat.
Another One Rides The Bus.
SOO many others that were as great in their own was as the great originals - and rarely better.
🎶Stop Dragging My Car Around 🎶
Eat it and Amish paradise are also some contenders
It’s not a cover
It’s a PARODY!
@@DigitalRag3X Did you not make it to the 2nd sentence?
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 Gangsta’s paradise by Coolio covering Pastime by Stevie Wonder, and then Gangsta’s paradise being parodied by Weird Al Yankovic to make Amish Paradise
"Coolio" didnt cover, he stole the song and rebranded it! Weird Al was doing a favour to Stevie wonder with that making a fool of Lame-io!
@@fishboymanshark Stevie is a credited composer of Gangstas paradise and made a lot of money in royalties off of the song, so I have no idea what your problem is
@@iansiegler1036 Ignore the troll, dude is replying to every single comment on this channel seeking attention because his life is miserable and he doesn't go outside.
@@iansiegler1036 My problem is the laziness quite frankly, and knowing "Cool"io is a gangster, i wouldnt doubt stevie wonder didnt have a choice in the matter
@@dyrr836 Button it, creep
No Doubt’s cover of It’s My Life was a fraction of as good as the original Talk Talk
Yeah, No doubt’s version is not a patch on the original.
Absolutely agree. ND cover was a fun homage, but TT original is just so much more intense. So much better by far.
Agree with everyone on this. I remember when Talk Talk did their version, and really liking it… then No Doubt did theirs- it’s OK, but at the time I wondered - why’d they bother?
@@BaconTomatoCheese true all that.
I actually liked both versions. I'll grant you that Talk Talk's version was better but I really liked No Doubts interpretation.
Talk Talk is underrated
surprised you havent done Hallelujah yet. There’s so many version. Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Pentatonix, the Shrek one, etc etc
Hallelujah is an interesting example, Cohen didn't have one set version, prefering to switch out verses from a long list. The version that everyone has done since is the version that Jeff Buckley put together, so pretty much every version is a cover of a cover.
Can't forget kd Lang
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.
Cyndi deserved writing credit
Yeah, that guy sounds like a douche.
Nirvanas take on David Bowies “The man who sold the world” is a great cover in my opinion. The cover gives the song a whole different feel
nirvana's version is great, but i prefer midge ure's cover. i love it
@@cbl8439 Midge, not Mitch.
@@BowieRulez my fault og
nah. hard pass on nirvana.
@@ChristopherStandardTime L take, but I respect your opinion
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.

@@fishboymanshark Your uncle died by getting brutally murdered with a fire axe from a Japanese terrorists who is actually a clone of an old mob boss who is now a high school student? If that's the case then he had it coming for being a corrupt person in a position of power.
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 don’t even know the originals
Whats interesting about that? NEXT
@@fishboymansharkwtf is your problem
Proud Mary was a great song by written by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It became a smash when covered by Tina Turner.
And convinced him, in his time of despair, to get back into music.
Whitney Houston’s cover of I Will Always Love You is more famous but is not better than Dolly’s.
Honestly, I'm shocked to find someone else that thinks that. I love both Whitney and Dolly but I legit prefer Dolly's version of that song. @@doomsdayaddams2894
CCR's version is 1000x better...sorry
Joe Cocker’s version of With a Little Help From My Friends. Still one of the best covers ever.
Would love a part 3! Nirvana’s cover of “Man Who Sold the World” and John Mayer’s “Free Falling” cover should be mentioned! And you can’t forget Jeff Buckley’s version of “Hallelujah”.
I think that most people probably agree with you, but I much prefer Leonard Cohen’s version of Hallelujah. Jeff has a much nicer voice than Leonard has. That’s the problem for me. If you pay attention to the words, it isn’t a nice song. It seems out of place to me, when it’s pretty.
100% agree about preferring Talk Talk's version of "It's My Life"
Any chance you could order the next video with a clip of the original first, then your discussion, then the cover? I find myself lost as to what the song is until I hear it
Good idea! Also a longer clip, like 10 secs each. That should be well under the fair use policy.
You should talk about Its oh so quiet, its a really good song with an interesting story
Betty Hutton's original is SO POWERFUL.I do prefer it, but acknowledge that Bjork does an amazing job with it.
@@barkboingfloom Betty Hutton is my favorite version but she isnt even the original, its originally a german song from 1948
@@TheFats216 That I did not know. 🤔
@@TheFats216 thnx, one of the reasons I always read comments, to learn about artists and music I don't know yet.
if a part 3 is made, i think ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’ should be mentioned. So many people don’t know Bjork’s version is a cover! Such an incredible song
It’s a cover?!!
I knew it was a cover. But then again, I’m old 😂
Alison Krauss’s cover of the Foundations’ “Baby Now That I Found You” deserves a mention. She brilliantly transforms the song.
Part 3 please! I'm really enjoying these videos.
Im not
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.
Quiet Riot's cover of Come on Feel the Noise overshadows the original by Slade by far
The Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go 12" single by Soft Cell is still an awesome song today. The transition from one song to the next is simply sublime. th-cam.com/video/q84psZX6MbA/w-d-xo.html
If you do a part 3, please consider talking about Tommy James & The Shondells who had this happen to them 3 times in the 1980s.
“Crimson and Clover” covered by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
“Mony Mony” covered by Billy Idol
“I Think We’re Alone Now” covered by Tiffany
Good thing I know the songs being talked about since there's barely a bar or two of either version played. Tiny snippets give the impression a lot of the the covers are the carbon copy option rather than a second version as mentioned with valerie
Love it! Part 3 please!
I don’t know if this count but is the Beatles version of Twist and Shout more popular than the original.
You know fine rightly it doesn't count. Use your brain and move on.
My oldest is named Valerie after this song because her dad wanted to call her Amy but I was like no thanks and I was like how about Valerie. In that moment my baby kicked me from inside and I was!like " I guess she wants to be called Valerie!"
if you do a part 3 "everytime you go away" by Hall & Oates/Paul Young needs to be in it
I actually found some drafts of my own cover of Valerie from way back in 2007 when I only knew the original version from The Zutons. It was odd at first to hear Any Winehouse cover it so shortly after the original release, but quickly loved it as much as everyone else.
I found that my own cover already included the same rhythmic adjustments I make when I sing along to Winehouse's version.
It was common in the '60s for artists to cover songs close to each other. For instance Jimi Hendrix covered a Beatles song three days after its release. Bob Dylan released All Along the Watchtower in Dec. 1967 and Jimi released his version in September of 1968.
@@orlock20 Jimi AND Deep Purple (and about 10 other bands) covering "Hey Joe" within it's first 2 years of existance.
Kind of funny that Ronson said Amy never listened to anything after 1967 when her hit "Rehab" is basically a musical love letter to Donny Hathaway who didn't start singing until 1969 (he'd been behind the boards with Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records for a couple of years before then but his first vocal session didn't come until 1969). I mean, the lyric is "There's nothing you can teach me/That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway" (and her cover of "A Song for You" from the posthumous "Lioness" album even ends with a bit of commentary from Amy about Hathaway's singing style--that "he just couldn't contain himself").
It’s not really an outdoing of another version but both Karen carpenter n Luther Vandross did really wonderful versions of Superstar/till you come back to me. Luther’s version will wreck you and feeling like a lonely soul. It’s so beautifully mournful that way. His version of a house is not a home is just a masterpiece, period.
I love Tainted Love, Also Marilyn Manson covered it too which I liked as well.
It’s my Life is a classic.. I love both versions.
Yes do a part 3!! I’m new to the channel so I will go watch part 1 now
I had to laugh cause in the 2000's there was an unofficial cover competition. Manson, My Ruin, The Living End and a number of other bands all released covers of the song around the same time
You should do a part 3 and include The Cowboy Junkies version of Sweet Jane, originally by The Velvet Underground. Now thats something.
Oh, yes!
I love your video analysis of these awesome songs 🎵 💜 ❤️
Absolutely love your videos and absolutely loved this video concept, keep up the great work!
Whats so great about it?
Keep the episodes coming! Lotta material to work with out there👍
Great vid!
Would love to her a couple more secs of each original and cover😊
I really liked this and your other video about covers. I always like to see how how artist are inspired by one another and can elevate each other. This then makes me always think of samples which I think are even harder to recognize than a cover. I know you already made a video about samples in rap songs, but I would love to see how other famous songs or artist use samples in one of your future videos.
Part 3 would be awesome! Janice Joplins cover of "Me and Bobby McGee" as a suggestion!
If you do a part 3, you gotta include Blinded By The Light
My favorite song! Manfred Mann' version!
Hey thanks for a great video. So many good memories for this old man. I'd add Blinded by The Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, the original done by the incomparable Boss, Bruce Springsteen.
Definitely need a part 3
As a version of something myself, I would love a 3rd version.
This was great! Thanks for your hard work!
A cover that a lot of people don’t know about is Placebo’s cover of Running up that hill, I actually heard it before Kate Bush’s version. Hers is probably better but Placebo made it an entirely different song
i heard the placebo version first too! agree that the kate bush original is probably objectively better, but the placebo cover is definitely my favorite
Nope the Placebo song is better
How could we not have heard about it? They played it on the radio a ridiculous amount of times. It's a horrible, soulless version of the song. I was a teen in the 80s, and nothing will compare to Kate's version, with the haunting synthesizer and unique vocals.
Now I desperately need to hear No Doubt cover "Don't Change."
Joe Cocker's version of Ringo Starr's meh "With a Little Help From My Friends" has got to be in the top 5 'Covers That Overshadow the Original Song'. Cocker's recording even gets a little help from his friend (and Led Zeppelin legend) Jimmy Page.
I'd also put DEVO's cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in the top 10.
Bowie's version of Let's Spend The Night Together is my favorite cover of all time
Dancing in The Moonlight has had two major covers, both massively overshadowing the original. The version by King Harvest is my favourite
Would be cool to have an accompanying playlist with all the songs mentioned in it!
Fun fact: The name "Imbruglia" is pronounced (according to Wkikpedia) im-BROO-lee-ə. As far as English speakers go, the G is silent.
I don't know if this cover outdoes the original pop masterpiece, but the Donna Summer version of McArthur Park has always been one of my favorites. The Richard Harrison version which I just re-listened to the other day is so incredible you would think it impossible to top, but Donna took it to a whole new level in the disco era when cover songs were everywhere. I also love Arethra Franklin's version of Natural Woman which I think is the definitive version.
Richard Harris (not Harrison) did MacArthur Park. As in Professor Dumbledore. May he and Donna Summer both RIP, but both versions of the song are equally horrible. I was born in '72 and had to hear the disco version. Oh nooooo 🎶
@@jenx5870 Sounds like someone's cake got left out in the rain.
I was in a couple of bands that did slow funk versions of "Lady Marmalade." At the place we were practicing it, I remember a couple of women walking by, seeing these rocker guys doing it, and being kinda "hmmm... kinda digging it."
The version of "I Love Rock n Roll" that made all the money is likely Weird Al's "I Love Rocky Road"
Consider Phil Collins’s “Groovy Kind of Love” for the next round.
Absolutely not, phil collins shouldve stuck to playing drums lmao
Much like “Respect” from the previous video, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is a fantastic example of taking a symbol of slight and turning it into a source of pride. Led Zeppelin and Motley Crue both got their names by doing this, as did the Michigan Wolverines.
Billie Idol was an alteration on a grade school report card that said "William is idle"...he went with his nickname and changed the homophone.
Torn was by Ednaswap first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torn_(Ednaswap_song)
Next time go over The Man Who Sold the World because it’s a good song and not many people know it’s a cover
Kurt butchered bowie's vision worse then the shotgun butchered his face 😂
@@fishboymanshark ah, so I Cannot Fucking Wait Til Morrissey Dies by JPEGMAFIA is going too far, but it's perfectly fine to say this?
@@fishboymanshark ooof. This isn't a cards against humanity game, tho I do agree Bowie's is better.
@@fishboymansharkLOL he sings like he's missing his head too
Part 3 please😊
Ted and Dougal's cover of My Lovely Horse!
i want to shout out Carpenter Brut's cover of Maniac! Brut's super intense dark synth gives it so much energy and grit
Nothing beats LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade.
Thank You!
Robert Hazard rocked! I saw him a few times and put on a great show. I recently saw he did put out an album of which I listen to and brings me back to those times.
The “Punk Goes Pop” and “Punk Goes Classic Rock” covers are some of the best versions of songs. Fight me.
Lick the Tins Can't Help Falling in Love. When Alison Marr sings the verse "Take my hand and my whole life to." It sends chills my spine.
The Georgia on my mind by Ray Charles is an amazing cover adding so much texture and feeling
"I Fought the Law" would be a good one to compare some very different versions of. Bobby Fuller, The Clash and the Dead Kennedys all had very different takes on it.
for the record Lis Sorenson's version of Torn was a cover also. Torn was originally written by the singer and guitarist of the band Ednaswap in 1991, but they didnt release their own version of the song until after Lis released her version.
Hell yes part 3
This man put straight bangers im ngl
On the Mark Ronson tip: “Oh My God,” originally by Kaiser Chiefs and then released by Mark with Lily Allen on vocals. Both versions are a real kick but the Ronson/Allen version was a bigger hit in the UK.
hopefully on part 3 i'd like to see hooked on a feeling by blue swede
It's really hard to deny that sometimes, a song comes before its time. Or there is the right key that makes one ho-hum. It could languish for years or months before someone else comes along. Relays the vocals to a different key, maybe their voice just rings better. Something happens and the song that seemed destined to be effectively forgotten, suddenly slaps harder than the five fingers to the face.
i need a part three
Please mention (in case you haven't), Cake's version of "I will survive", one of the best cover versions from the 90s. Their solo at the end of the song is memorable
Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" has definitely overshadowed Leonard Cohen's in pop culture over the years IMO
A song Cyndi Lauper covered that I've always liked is Prince's "When You Were Mine". I dig that you inluded Amy's version of "Valerie" here. That and "F Me Pumps" are my personal go to tracks from her.
I love her version of When You Were Mine. It showed off her range beautifully.
@@jenx5870 yes! Totally agree!
I recommend Elvis Presley’s version of unchained melody. It’s so raw and sad I genuinely consider it top 5 vocal performances of all time
The righteous brothers were better
@@fishboymansharktheir version is great obviously, but no where near on the same level for me
@@jaidynr87 maybe you dont get it. Their version defined music. Your a fake if you think otherwise.
@@fishboymanshark how did it define music lmao
@@jaidynr87 Clearly you werent there for its impact it was massive and every musician at the time had to pay their respect because this version truly revolutionaised music as i said.
I think an honorable mention to tainted love would be Marilyn Manson's version adding another layer.
Eddie Vedder’s cover of obscure Canadian band Indio’s song Hard Sun I think fits this category.
Part 3 would be great! I wonder if translations/adaptation fit into covers as well, cuz then Claude François is one big cover by himself...
Anne Preven from Ednaswap originally wrote/recorded Torn.
Part 3 has to include Jose Gonzalez’s cover of The Knife’s song, “Heartbeats”. Great song.
Wow, I had no idea that Torn was a cover, that's really neat. Wait, Tainted Love and I Love Rock & Roll are covers too?! Man, you gotta do more of these!
I actually found a new cover randomly the other day that I couldn't believe is a thing. Dragonforce of all people did a metal cover of My Heart Will Go On! I can't say it's better than Celine Dion's original, but it's certainly something and it's been stuck in my head for the last two weeks.
Still no mention of Disturbed's insanely good cover of Sound of Silence?
Also as mentioned before, Meat Loaf and Marion Raven's Cover of It's All Coming Back To Me Know is fantastic as a duet.
While I like Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence it is in no way better than the Simon and Garfunkel original.
@@sureshmukhi2316 I think they're very indicative of the generations they came out in. Simon and Garfunkels version was perfect for the sixties and Disturbs was perfect for the twenty teens. Both versions are fantastic, but neither would have succeeded in the other's place. Personally I give the edge to Disturbed, but I totally see why others would go the other way.
@@immortalgamer3960 right. We have our opinions
What about Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane and famously redone by Rascal Flatts
Too polished and not as good in the cover.
That song WANTS the roughness of the original.
Maybe this video was recorded before it all happened, but it's practically criminal not to talk about Proud Mary by CCR and the cover by Tina Turner. A cover so good that I first thought CCR covered it. A cover so good that it IS Tina's song. I, of course, love the CCR version, but the brilliance and talent of Tina's vocals on the song vastly overshadow CCR's. Even John Fogerty, the writer of Proud Mary, loves Tina's version, and calls it an honor to have had it covered by her.
Another that I love is Please Mr. Postman by the Beatles, originally by the Marvelettes. The Beatles doing covers could be a whole video of itself, but I love Please Mr. Postman specifically because I think both the Marvelettes' version and the Beatles' version are equally good. Gladys Horton has such a great raspy voice with so much emotion, and John Lennon keeps the same vain in his own voice, amplifying his natural English twang. Both sound so desperate to get that letter, and both are brilliant.
If yer gonna talk about Mr. Postman, ya gotsta mention the Carpenters' version too.
I was so surprised tainted love has multiple cover succeses, I only knew the Marilyn Manson version
I grew up with the 80s version but I love Mansons version so much more (goth pimp in the video)
Hazard is a classic example of refusing to account for the tide and ending up on the rocks. Spent his life in all sorts of music, but all he's remembered for is dissing Cyndi.
I have a couple suggestions for if you do a part 3. Both the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence and their cover of Land of Confusion. I like the Disturbed cover of these songs because the original Sound of Silence is sung like a campfire song IMO and the original Land of Confusion lacked that umph that the Disturbed cover brought plus I think the music video for the original version of Land of Confusion was goofy as hell.
I prefer the original Sounds, but Disturbed did a good remake of it and put their own (appropriate) spin on it.
JPEGMAFIA’s cover of Call Me Maybe is one of those most transformative covers I’ve ever heard. It takes a happy pop song and makes it a depressing; soul crushing ballad.
Part 3 please.
When you mentioned Valerie, I thought you meant the Valerie/Call On Me duo of songs
That’s not a cover, that’s a sample from the song :)
Seems like youre very uneducated, as that is not a cover.
@@BentheDalek a 'sample' LOL. We musicians call it stealing 😊
@@fishboymanshark "We" musicians lmao, not stealing when you're making a shitload of money off of it.
@@dyrr836 Oh so i suppose robbing a bank isnt stealing since you making money of it? Criminal 'samplers' need put behind bars
One of the best covers ever is one of the oddest - California Dreamin'. It was written by John and Michelle Phillips of the Mama and the Papas, but it was first recorded by Barry McGuire, with the Mamas and the Papas doing backup duty. The single, which was a follow-up to McGuire's hit "Eve of Destruction," tanked, and the Mamas and the Papas recorded their version of it, which became a No. 1 hit.
do a part 3!!!
I want it, I need it!
