Rev Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Heard this the other day, never realised the Elvis Costello version was a cover, any songs you didn't realise were covers. Alternatively, what are your favourite covers of all time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Supposedly some bloke was singing My Way before the great Sid Vicious reworked it into a classic. True. Look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Johnny was great and this track is a favorite. Heard that it's by Soundgarden but to me it's pure Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewetube Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ruby Tuesday (originally by The Rolling Stones). I'd heard Melanie Safka's version first and when I heard the Stone's version it sounded (to me) inferior to Safka's cover version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
