The Simon and Garfunkel version has been used in so many things, including memes in the recent years, but even without that, it's way more famous than the other one.

StrawberryBlond 14,684 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Tina Turner - Proud Mary. Originally by Creedance Clearwater Revival from 1969, it went through a further 2 covers by Solomon Burke and then Checkmates, Ltd. before being picked by Tina in 1971. I'd always just seen it as one of her most distinctive songs. And speaking of Tina Turner covers... Tina Turner - The Best. Originally by Bonnie Tyler from 1988, Tina covered it just one year later and it became one of her most career-defining hits. This one blew my mind, honestly, I couldn't imagine anyone other than Tina singing it. Bananarama - Venus. Originally by Shocking Blue from 1969, this fact was made clear to most of us when the original was featured on the tv show, The Queen's Gambit. And wow, this song was really ahead of its time. It sounds so 80's, to hear a more dated production on the original is so weird. It's also a very progressively sexual song for its time as well. Paloma Faith - Never Tear Us Apart. Originally by INXS from 1988, I'd genuinely never heard this when Paloma covered it as it just sounded exactly like the kind of original song she'd make. And I have to say, I prefer her version so much more, the original is just kinda...there. Bishop Briggs also did an even more phenomenal cover for the Fifty Shades soundtrack that really upped the drama in the best possible way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have to thank my parents for knowing about these ones! I don't think I've ever heard Tina Turner's version but I heard CCR's song a lot, I think my dad was listening to it. And Venus is used in the ads for the Venus razor, so everytime it was on TV, my mom would say excitedly that it was a song by Shocking Blue, she probably loved it when she was young. I think the ad's version is from Bananarama though. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Fudge 8,625 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Literally this morning I just learned that Christina Aguilera’s 1999 single What A Gorl Wants is a cover of a French song from the year prior! Mind blown Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
