I was very surprised to discover recently that Sugababes' "Too Lost In You" is in fact a cover version
It was originally released back in 1997 by French chanteuse Patricia Kaas. Any other surprising covers out there (in your opinion)? |

I was surprised to learn 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper was a cover. Robert Hazard had the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aLNwOxPsjg

This thread reminds me of the time when a friend thought that Always on my Mind was a Pet Shop Boys original. For shame

I didn't know until very recently that Madness' It Must Be Love was a cover of a Labi Siffre song, I was very surprised at that.

Always thought that Robbie Williams version of She's the one was an original by him but it wasn't, it was actually World Party's song originally.

Alien Ant Farm did a cover of Smooth Criminal. I didn't realise it was a cover until MJ died.

Similarly, I was listening to the radio the other day and was dismayed to hear some 80s act singing the chorus of Jordin Sparks' "S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)". The best part of the song...and Jordin nicked it from someone else. Quote:
