Title: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: RangeRoverA1 on September 16, 2019, 08:49:30 AM Recently, seen in youtube results song that, when clicking it, played different song. I figured it's Rosie/ Originals - instead, it's Bay City Rollers singing the *other* "Angel Baby": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c4xQ_Au-3co
What made I think it's cover? Due to fact that this band sang many 60s songs, including DWB & BMB. Figured it's the next in line. Curious to read people's similar puzzlings. At least, mere list will do. Title: Re: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: JK on September 16, 2019, 01:21:47 PM Oooff! I had one of those recently but I can't remember what it was--I wish I'd written it down. :smokin
Maybe it'll come to me, in which case I'll post it. Another cool and creative topic there, RR. ;) Title: Re: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: RangeRoverA1 on October 17, 2019, 08:26:20 PM "Reba" by Flanneling Trishas "Reba" by Braidy Luncheons
Title: Re: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: JK on October 18, 2019, 02:42:23 AM "Reba" by Flanneling Trishas "Reba" by Braidy Luncheons I think I heard the Flanneling Trishas song blasting out of a seedy bar while I was in St. Petersburg. I could be wrong. Title: Re: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: JK on October 24, 2019, 06:19:49 AM On a more serious note, I see Gary Numan is named in Kingsley Abbott's book Pet Sounds: The Greatest Album of the Twentieth Century (on p. 158) as one of the many artists to have covered "God Only Knows".
False. I hadn't heard his track at the time so I feel this example fits the topic of this thread. The penultimate track on Gary's 1985 album The Fury, his "GOK" is a completely different song, one he wrote himself. (As far as I know, the only song written and first recorded by others that Numan ever performed was "On Broadway".) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MitpT5HONrE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fury_(album) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fury_(album)) Title: Re: Identically titled songs you figured would be covers Post by: RangeRoverA1 on November 04, 2019, 09:51:36 PM Townes Van Zandt "At My Window". Amusingly, Zandt doesn't sing BBs here (despite it being suitable to him choice) but, good song >> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hf_JgXX7oTQ
