Makeover Monday - Songs You May Not Know Were Covers Pt. 4

In continuation from last week's #makeovermonday, Part 4 will also be covering songs that you may not know were cover songs. Some of these may shock you. Some of these you may have never even heard on the charts when they were first recorded. Whether you've heard these songs and thought to yourself, "this song sounds familiar", and then found out that it's a cover. Many artists will do their own renditions of songs for one reason or another. It could be to be to pay tribute to a band or because they like the song so much that they want to do their own spin on it. Whatever the case may be, they did so well enough to make their mark on the music charts in one way or another. There will be some surprises on today's list I'm sure. So let's get this started, shall we?

1.Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. Natalie Imbruglia's version was released in 1997, however, it is a cover by a band that I had never heard of before called Ednaswap. Ednaswap recorded their version in 1995.

2.I Fought The Law by The Clash. The Clash, more famously known for Rock The Casbah, recorded this song in 1979. It was originally recorded and released by The Crickets in 1960.

3.The Man Who Sold The World by Nirvana. Nirvana released this on their MTV Unplugged album back in 1994, however, this is actually a cover song. The original artist? David Bowie. Bowie released his version back in 1970.

So, did any of these surprise you? Leave a comment to let me know. If you know of any other versions of these songs I might have missed, let me know!
