Cover Version..

Heard a version of The Beatles 'Tomorrow Never Knows' recently, no idea who it's by, can anyone help.

Male Vocals - almost folk-y inflections.
Very Minimal Backing, Heartbeat Bass guitar and not much else.

Sort-of sounded like Low meets Phil Ochs or something.

sixteen years pass...

Do we have a thread called "songs you somehow realize were covers?" I could have sworn there was one but I can't find it.

Anyway, this week alone:

-"Somebody's Gonna Get Their head Kicked In Tonight" is a Fleetwood Mac song?!?

-Also had no idea that Dave Alvin wrote Robert Earl Keen's "Fourth of July" (one of my dad's favorite songs) and also had no idea it was originally recorded by X (a band I am only familiar with up to Under The Big Black Sun)

Yeah, it's the highpoint of "See How We Are," when Alvin took over for Billy Zoom.

(Actually, he didn't take over, that was Tony Gilkyson, but Alvin was definitely in the orbit and on the record.)

(Just to bring it back to the Mac, via Judas Priest, for anyone that doesn't know)

Wow the original version of "Bette Davis Eyes" is so terrible, I wonder why anybody even thought to cover that.

This one's getting a little more obscure, but I was disappointed when I learned that my favorite Let's Active song wasn't their song at all. And unlike most of the examples above, in the case, I think the original is actually better.

Random revive but bit long ago I realized that Huey Lewis’ “Heart and Soul” is by Exile, Mike Chapman’s band from Australia.
