First Cut is the Deepest was written by Cat Stevens and was on one of his albums. PP Arnold released it as a single in 1967 I think. Rod Stewart might have had the biggest hit with it.

Deftones - The Chauffeur. I didn't realise it was a cover until I heard it on a Duran Duran CD my parents got with the paper, and I was like 'hold on, I know this!'

Its a mash-up by Richard X, with the lyrics from the Adina Howard song and the music from Gary Numan's Are Friends Electric. I think its genius, one of my favourite songs ever.

The Sugababes version? That's cool
![]() I forgot to mention that Cher's Heart of Stone is originally by Bucks Fizz. And that Lemar's 'If There's Any Justice' was recorded by Hear'Say before they split. |

Adam Ant's "Prince Charming" was claimed to be a plagiarism of a Rolf Harris song.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Charming_(album) cannot get this link to work - google "adam ant war canoe" Army Wives Choir: Make you feel my love I was amazed that this lovely song was a Bob Dylan song. Never heard it before this (even by Adele!) |

Girl with one eye from Florence and the Machine's first album. I was really shocked to hear that it was written by another band, the name escapes me. Gutted to find out it wasn't actually about a lesbian experience...

Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying originally by The Script, it was a b-side one of their early singles I think?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTALLCna6gY Both version are identical. Brilliant song though. |
