Because the 00s had us living in BLISSFUL IGNORANCE ðŸ˜
🎤 Torn – Natalie Imbruglia
👉 Actually a cover of a 90s track by Ednaswap
👉 We ALL thought this was the original. Be honest.
🎤 Valerie – Amy Winehouse / Mark Ronson
👉 Original by The Zutons
👉 The cover fully overshadowed it… I said what I said 💅
🎤 Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley version
👉 Original by Leonard Cohen
👉 But most of us grew up thinking THIS was the version
🎤 Girls Just Want to Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper
👉 Originally recorded by Robert Hazard
👉 Yes… this one shocked me too ðŸ˜
🎤 I’m a Believer – Shrek vibes
👉 Original by The Monkees
👉 But let’s be real… we associate it with green ogre energy
🎤 Respect – Aretha Franklin
👉 Originally by Otis Redding
👉 She didn’t just cover it… she claimed it
💠Conclusion:
Some covers don’t just exist…
they ERASE the original from our brains ðŸ˜
