This is a true, but well known example, of a cover/original-mixed up. Jagger/Richards wrote the song, FBB recorded it, Stones made their version of the FBB-interpetation..but it still is a Jagger/Richards-original.So the cover still…is better than the later recorded original. It is an often used Pop-quiz-question.
Let me think….three points for Den Buck [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]December 24, 2001 at 2:06 am #68416Thinking about the best Stones records for another thread, I came on the wonderful cover of "Wild Horses". Flyong Burrito Bros.
Den Buck: Since the White Stripe-hype, Carpenters are hot again, an anthology-compilation is probably on it’s way! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Heard a couple of great covers over the last couple days, Hellacopters did a WICKED version of a Chuck Berry song…Sweet Little Rock ‘n Roller. It was live, recorded in Norway over the summer played on some Swedish radio station…very cool show!!!
Listening to The Hydromatics doing a live version of SRB City Slang right now, with Nick Royale on drums…pretty damn cool drummer!!!

January 7, 2002 at 4:21 pm #68418Finally picked up a wicked version of The Hellacopters doing Stab Your Back (Damned cover) 56 seconds of coolness…including the bizarre laugh. Obviously not better than The Damned but pretty cool version!!!

What a wonderfull world : Joey Ramone!February 1, 2002 at 3:21 pm #68421Hansione-I remember reading awhile back in a magazine Joey talking about Louis Armstrong and that song,so it was`nt a surprise to me he covered it.What A Wonderful World was`nt written by Louis,it was written by jazz producer Bob Theile.
February 1, 2002 at 6:30 pm #68422Salamiguy,
Funny, According to my Armstrongcd’s it is written by Weiss and douglas. Maybe we should ask this to the Jazzzzz-snobs you’ve mentioned before <img> <img>February 1, 2002 at 7:24 pm #68423</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font>Originally posted by hansione:
