The other day I was listening to a playlist I have which has songs by different women. One particular song came on that I really enjoy and I was thinking about how much I like her version more than the original or other versions of the song. It was
Drove all night sung by Cyndi Lauper. I believe Roy Orbison did the original and Celine Dion has done a cover of this song as well but it's Ms. Lauper's that I enjoy the most.
Then I was thinking about other covers which I like more than the original. Here are few:
- Ball of Confusion, preferred version by Love and Rockets
- Take a Chance on Me, preferred version by Erasure
- Hurt, preferred version by Johnny Cash
- Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon, preferred version by Urge Overkill
Then I was thinking of the covers I hate:
- Blue Monday, hated version by Orgy
- Pretty Woman, hated version by Van Halen
So over to you, which covers do you love or hate?
