Here's another surprise remake; Mudhoney's "By Her Own Hand" was actually a cover of a tune by Dutch band called "Mc Phonic."

And I'm still waiting for somebody to cover Velocity Girl songs.

Neil Diamond songs -

When I was a kid, I didn't know that "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees, was done by Neil.

Also, "Red, Red Wine" by UB40 was a Neil song, and "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" done by Urge Overkill was a Neil Song.

When David Lee Roth did "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody", I didn't know it was done by Louis Prima. At least I think that's who originally did it.

I grew up listening to Dolly's version. I just cannot listen to Whitney's version. And I like Whitney otherwise!!

Neither did I, except for the Urge Overkill remake. I knew all along that was a Neil Diamond song, as I did with "Solitary Man," which was covered by The Sidewinders, and was way better than Neil's version.

I can't listen to either one, and I remember Dolly's version.

‘All Along the Watchtower’ Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1968 (orig. Bob Dylan, 1967)

"Hey, Joe" was a cover too. The trouble is, I forgot who did it before Jimi. I saw a recent documentary on him on Ovation.

The Leaves recorded the original.

The Jackson 5 redid Smokey Robinson's song "Who's Lovin' You".
Gladys Knight redid Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye". I liked Jackson 5's version better.
Alien Ant Farm redid Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal". Michael's version was better.
Fall Out Boy redid Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Again, I liked Michael's version better.
Mariah Carey redid Jackson 5's "I'll Be There". I like both versions.

Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know" was originally done by Kirsty MacColl in 1979

James · 02-23-2011, 02:07 PM

Bob Seger's 1982 hit "Shame On The Moon" was originally done by Rodney Crowell (a country singer).

Rezny@gmail.com · 02-24-2011, 11:46 PM

And the country song "Amarillo By Morning" by George Strait,written by Terry Stafford (he sang and had a hit in 1964,with a cover of Elvis Presley's 1962 song "Suspicion"-remember that?),was a remake of the original 1972 version sang by Terry Stafford (with a female chorus).

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHRFZFmEq9o ... a remake better than the original by The Velvet Underground (an iconic band... although I'm not really a big fan)... Love CJ's version...

Rezny@gmail.com · 02-25-2011, 01:58 PM

And you remember the Hondells 1964 hit "Little Honda"?That was a remake of a song first recorded in 1964 by The Beach Boys,and was written by Beach Boys head honcho Brian Wilson.

D-Dey · 08-08-2011, 09:03 AM

I recently found out that "Love at First Sight" by Lush, was a cover by The Gist.

http://www.whosampled.com/cover/view...First%20Sight/

I know of a few other covers and samples that website could use.

"Video Killed the Radio Star" was recorded by The Camera Club before The Buggles recorded their version. I don't know if it could be classified as a "cover" or a "remake" since both members of The Buggles wrote the song along with Bruce Woolley from The Camera Club, but some might find it interesting nonetheless.
