[Game] Post the Original Version of a Cover Song

[AdamDamon]

Here’s how this game works:

Post the original version of the cover song that the person above you posted. Also in your reply, post a new cover song so that the next person can identify the original version in their reply. As such, each reply to this thread should have two songs: one as an answer to the previous post, and one as a challenge for the next person to reply.

Anyone can play, and the cover song that you post can be as well-known or obscure as you like; all that matters is that you enjoy it and would like to share it as a part of this game.

Here’s a cover song to start:

https://open.spotify.com/track/2TiuOsgEVMvJy6Uh63A2u2?si=iNAet1MlQmewI5sRTPDg6A

If you know the original version of this song, post it below along with a new cover song for the next person to identify.

I remember getting the Zutons album where this song is featured as a birthday present when it came out back in 2006 🙂

How about this one?

I didn’t know the original version of this song until I read Spotify’s biography for Milow, which says “…he had a chart-topping international hit with his cover of 50 Cent’s ‘Ayo Technology’ in 2009.”

For this game, I think it’s okay to find the original version of a song on Spotify by searching the title and listening to the results (or even using the internet) as well if you don’t know it already and are curious to find out, since then you learn new music trivia.

How about this one?
