I really dug the Eurythmics and the original song and whilst I am not a big fan of Marylin Manson I think this cover was much more suited to the lyrics. I'm sure some of you will think this belongs in the "other" thread though . . .

 

 

Fizzy Pickle (link in my signature) did a cover of this choon recently.

I knew that Randy Newman wrote this song , but thought that his version came out after it was a hit with Three Dog Night.

So, I looked it up and just learned that Randy Newman gave it to Eric Burdon to record first.

Does that make Randy Newman's version a cover of a cover?

I'll also throw in just about all of Led Zeppelin's first album.

I never noticed this before but Bun E Carlos looks like he should be complaining about how someone took his red stapler or that the ratio of people to cake is too big.

I don't like TH, but that's a good cover.
