Favourite Cover Songs
In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song or popular song. It can sometimes have a pejorative meaning implying that the original recording should be regarded as the definitive or "authentic" version, and all others merely lesser competitors, alternatives or tributes (no matter how popular). However, Billboard and other magazines recording the popularity of the musical artists and hit tunes originally measured the sales success of the published tune, not just recordings of it or, later, the airplay that it achieved, in which case the greater the number of cover versions the more successful the song. Contemporary versions of older tunes such as "Who's Sorry Now?", "Blue Moon", "Twist and Shout" and "Not Fade Away" have been often used to position well-known music between less familiar "originals".
So tell us what your favourite covers are!!! I have 2 Firestarter - Jimmy Eat World (Prodigy) Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - Nirvana ( Made popular by Lead Belly, but the very original is unknown) |

No, it would be right up Freud's alley, really...

Jabberwock - Le Freak
Just...epic. Beats the original by miles. Hmm...Emilie Autumn's dark cabaret version of Bohemian Rhapsody is pretty good too. |
