Ever heard a song so many times that you didn't even realize it was a cover? Well, here's some original songs that you most often hear the cover.

Please start putting all the videos in spoiler tags (in regards to this thread only). Thanks.

Eric Clapton and Cream immoralized "Cross Road Blues" to such an extent that is the song that defines them, at least in my mind. But it was origially recorded by delta blues legend Robert Johnson in 1936.

Kansas Joe McCoy and his wife Memphis Minnie recorded "When the Levee breaks" back in 1929. Of course, Led Zepplin released their famed version in 1971.

YOU AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG, CRYING ALL THE TIME!!! Elvis's most recognizable song and and American legend, right? Oh yeah, and it was originally recorded by Big Mama Thornton in 1952.

And perhaps one of the most bizare cases was one Johnny Cash recorded such a mournful tune, that seemed to define country and all the problems of his life so well, that we can't think of "Hurt" any other way. But, it was first made by the Industrial Rock giants Nine Inch Nails in 1994.

I knew about Hurt, not so much Hound Dog. I always found it really cool to find songs and than later find out that it was a cover of a older song than compare them. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are:

How soon is now. Made by the smiths in 1985. It was later made a cover by Love Spit Love, which most of you would know if you would know if you watched Charmed when it was on. Later it was covered again by the band T.A.T.U., but it's nothing to talk about in my opinion.

The other is a song called God Gave Me You (yes it's a country song move along if you don't like this type of music.)
Most people have heard of the Blake Sheldon version, but did you know that Dave Barnes made the song a year earlier?

Spoiler

And if you want to know I prefer the Love Spit Love version and the Dave Barnes version.

Of course the Love Spit Love version would be better, it being a branch off of The Psychedelic Furs after they broke up. I know The Smiths are legendary, but I'm a much bigger fan of the Butler brothers and all that they have done with The Psychedelic Furs and Love Spit Love. It's just got much more variety.

I often have this debate within myself about certain musics, and when I do I look to one of the great sages of our time for answers and enlightenment

Dave Ghrol Wrote:“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, “You’re not supposed to like that. That’s not fucking cool.” Don’t fucking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” It is cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”! Why the fuck not? Fuck you! That’s who I am, goddamn it! That whole guilty pleasure thing is full of fucking shit.”

Such wisdom. SUCH TRUTH.

Heard this earlier today, found the video, and its funny.

I think this song describes the forums and the drama as late, BUT DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT, JUST ENJOY SOME CLASSIC FATS DOMINO!

And while you're at it, enjoy some Dream Theater also:

Ironic.

I fucking love this song.

I can really appreciate the sarcasm in this song.

Spoiler

Everyone wanted creepy music videos right before bed, right? Perfect nightmare fuel!

Click the spoiler for half skeleton babies, singing decapitated babies, cannibals, men morphing to rats and more! But it really is one of the greatest songs you will ever hear from one of the most underrated bands ever. And, the lead singer has written most of the music for almost all of Tim Burton's movies. Consider yourself warned.
