    It's not a cover though. It's a sample (so the judge said anyway) and Kolido said samples don't count.

    Why the apologies? Is Kolido anti-Kink?

    Kolido said a song that was sampled wouldn't count as an original, so in this case it'd be the Rolling Stones song that wouldn't count. So I guess that's a second reason why Bittersweet Symphony is acceptable in the competition. I may have misunderstood your question though.

    Keeping an eye on dinner so went for brevity! But yes, that would be my interpretation also.

    oof, things getting tough now.

    The Kinks - Days
    The Zutons - Valerie - was thinking to nominate it, but just missed out
    Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia - I really like Suggs' cover
    Banarama - Cruel Summer - hard one, both great songs

    Nawh...not as far as I know... was looking back at the list I pm'd... which had the original plus a couple of covers or my favorite listed for each song and somehow I forgot/deleted the Kinksbut included the covers in my haste....my fault but Kolido obviously caught it in time... all ends well :D

    Shinedown covered Simple Man, and someone did a dance cover of Boys of Summer in the early '00s if memory serves.

    Bat for Lashes did a wonderful cover of Boys of Summer a year or so ago.

    Ah right I'll check out Shinedown but I don't like the sound of a dancey Boys :(

    Monster of a tune as is :cool: Mike Campbell came up with the music and Henley wrote the lyrics.

    Rolling Stones - Satisfaction Vs The Supremes - Keep Me Hanging On

    Smokie Robinson and the Miracles - I Heard It Through The Gravepine Vs Gloria Jones - Tainted love. Don’t think I heard the original by Smokie and Co. before, but it’s good. Both are good originals, but this is the better of the two.

    The Cookies - Chains Vs Charles Manson - Look At Your Game Girl. Never heard either song before (original or covered), but I prefer Chains. It’s kind of hard to get beyond who is singing the second song. I wonder will many vote for him?

    Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary Vs Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man. Again, I never heard this song before (original or covered), but I really like it. It beats the other, which I do know. I will be adding to that my list of discovered gems!

    Who covered these songs I never heard of before: Chains, Look at Your Game Girl and Simple Man?

    Guns and Roses covered Manson's song. It's on The Spaghetti Incident and it is not great.
    Youtube is suggesting Manson interviews to me after watching his song :o

    Interesting nugget... Marvin recorded IHITTG earlier but didnt release it until 68 so Gladys Knight and the Pips hold the honour of releasing their version first in 67.



    Both excellant Enjoy.. .
