Look out for Labi in the video, most obviously at 3.21

It took me a while to find out that Make You Feel My Love by Adele was a cover.

Most people think that 'Sailing' by Rod Stewart is the original. Not so, it was originally written and recorded by the The Sutherland Brothers

I remember when Will Young performed Evergreen for the first time on Pop Idol and I was singing along, my mam asked me how I knew it and I told her it was on my Westlife album

I was quite surprised to learn that a Macc Lads song called 'Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight' was originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac of all people! Plus I didn't know that quite a few bands have covered it before and since The Macc Lads version. I think it was on this forum that it came to my attention.
