I said that earlier, but we obviously have to call the no-mark Mr Elderberry.

I've thought of 2 more terrible covers that did well at the same time as the far superior originals:

Simon & Garfunkel 'Sounds of Silence' covered by The Bachelors in 1966
Bob Lind 'Elusive Butterfly' covered by Val Doonican also in 1966
