Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers Vol. 9: The Air That I Breathe (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 21 Sep 21

As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t rank the songs in these cover countdowns in terms of “favorites,” but rather the “shock value.” I was shocked over this one, so I think it counts. Wait till you see the next two!!! Meanwhile,...

Every now and then I run across one of these: cover songs that you might not know were cover songs that were written by the person doing the covering! Confused? Me too! Let’s take a look at what’s under the cover...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 19 Sep 21

Gee, I don’t know why Greg didn’t put a whole dollar down on this song showing up on this round of songs that you know as a big hit but were actually covers. Maybe he didn’t know? That is the theme here: you [i]may...

It’s time for another cover song, ya beatniks! Greg (@xander6464 ) likes to say that in his discussions, and he had good money riding on this song (a quarter) to show up in this round of songs that you might have...

And I’m back! I had a wonderful retreat yesterday. Hope I can remember everything, because I have to spend the afternoon in the VA hospital for dental appointments. Before I trudge off here’s another song that you might not know...

Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers Vol. 9: Sea of Love (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 15 Sep 21

Ah, nothing like getting up late. That means, of course, that I stayed up late. That’s life in retirement. A quick note: I won’t be here tomorrow. I get paranoid when any of our daily members disappear (ask the ones I’ve...

Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers (Round 8): Drift Away (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 22 Sep 20

The occasional peek at songs that were known as big hits but may not be known as covers comes to a close. With this song, I’ve done 100 covers: 80 that you “might not know,” ten that you “probably knew” were covers, and ten hits...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 21 Sep 20

Okay, this one might be a bit of an argument, but for today’s song that you might not know was a cover it’s more a case of the version we know and love couldn’t exist without the original. As I’ve said before, some of...

Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers (Round 8): Without You (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 20 Sep 20

Okay, this might go in the “songs you may or may not know were covers.” A lot of people do know that the hit version of this song is a cover....and yet a lot of people don’t know that. Either way, it’s a great song, so...

Getting cooler here, which means I either turn on the furnace or put another cover on the bed. I’ll opt for the latter. Speaking of covers, here’s another song from the grand history of hits that you may not know was actually a...

Sometimes this news shocks you, and sometimes it doesn’t. Every song starts with a songwriter, and sometimes a big hit starts long before it becomes a big hit. Here’s another song that you may not know was a cover. [b]#6: Every...

Remember those great songs? Remember thinking they were the original? It’s not my intention to bust anyone’s bubble. Honestly, the fact that well-known versions of songs turned out to be covers occasionally surprises me as...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86568) • United States 14 Sep 20

All patched up today, meaning the bed won that round in the battle of my back versus changing the sheets. I would say “I’ll get it next time,” but my back will be hurting next time I change the sheets, too! Never mind that, it’s...
