I love this song so much! And I didn’t even know it was a cover lol. But it’s among my drive time playlist and I love singing along with it.

This was the cover...

Then, I discovered I liked the original better.

Never heard the cover but love the original!

I didn’t (and still don’t) know enough Bee Gees songs to know that this was a cover when I first heard it.

I did not know that was a cover!
(Although I did know that it was awesome.)
An excellent choice!

I was a kid and didn't know many Dolly Parton songs when this came out. It is so different from the orginal. I love both.

This song fits her style so well you wouldn't even think it was a cover. What a talent. I miss her.

Day 1: A song that makes you feel hopeful

Frank Turner - Get Bettter

Day 2: A song you’ll always sing along to

Pretty much any song for which I know the lyrics... and that's a ridiculous number of them. Similar to what the lovely lady of the thread stated about herself, far too much of my brain's information storage capacity is taken up by song lyrics. And my lack of a decent singing voice doesn't stop me. So, to pick one...

The Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton: An American Musical - Satisfied

Day 3: A song you love that most people haven’t heard from a popular band/artist

Florence + The Machine - Lover to Lover

Day 4: A cover song that you heard before the original

Well, @NRJLIVES4ever already took my first song so...

Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee (originally recorded by Roger Miller)

Wow I just learned a ton of these we're not covers - thank you.
Everybody Knows - Concrete Blonde

Original by Leonard Cohen (also very good)

Hahahah this was almost on my list but then I recalled it was the exact opposite, I’d heard the original on the Pump Up the Vilume soundtrack and then was so disappointed that that wasn’t the version on Bloodletting. Which has since grown on me, but the OG is still the best.

Day 4: A cover song that you heard before the original

In the mid/late 80s, I hardly listened to the radio so never knew this was a cover. It was at the time 7 Seconds was changing their sound from hardcore to more “melodic.”

I remember getting this 12” ep and thinking, “What the fuck is this?” Then one of my friends explained…

99 Red Balloons - 7 Seconds

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Day 3
History - The Verve

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Day 4
Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

Apparently originally written by a Danish artist and recorded by a rock band called Ednaswap

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

I know she is but this prompt kind of begged for a double song in one post. Maybe an expection to the rule.
Also I’m kind of not into following the rules and like to just lurk and not post so I don’t get in trouble

I think @morelikeasong has created some perverse incentives here and y’all just wanna get spanked
