    It's not a cover though. It's a sample (so the judge said anyway) and Kolido said samples don't count.

    Why the apologies? Is Kolido anti-Kink?

    Kolido said a song that was sampled wouldn't count as an original, so in this case it'd be the Rolling Stones song that wouldn't count. So I guess that's a second reason why Bittersweet Symphony is acceptable in the competition. I may have misunderstood your question though.

    Keeping an eye on dinner so went for brevity! But yes, that would be my interpretation also.

    oof, things getting tough now.

    The Kinks - Days
    The Zutons - Valerie - was thinking to nominate it, but just missed out
    Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia - I really like Suggs' cover
    Banarama - Cruel Summer - hard one, both great songs

    And anyway with the RS's then we would have the issue of

    Nawh...not as far as I know... was looking back at the list I pm'd... which had the original plus a couple of covers or my favorite listed for each song and somehow I forgot/deleted the Kinksbut included the covers in my haste....my fault but Kolido obviously caught it in time... all ends well :D

    Shinedown covered Simple Man, and someone did a dance cover of Boys of Summer in the early '00s if memory serves.

    Bat for Lashes did a wonderful cover of Boys of Summer a year or so ago.

    Ah right I'll check out Shinedown but I don't like the sound of a dancey Boys :(

    Monster of a tune as is :cool: Mike Campbell came up with the music and Henley wrote the lyrics.

    Rolling Stones - Satisfaction Vs The Supremes - Keep Me Hanging On

    Smokie Robinson and the Miracles - I Heard It Through The Gravepine Vs Gloria Jones - Tainted love. Don’t think I heard the original by Smokie and Co. before, but it’s good. Both are good originals, but this is the better of the two.

    The Cookies - Chains Vs Charles Manson - Look At Your Game Girl. Never heard either song before (original or covered), but I prefer Chains. It’s kind of hard to get beyond who is singing the second song. I wonder will many vote for him?

    Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary Vs Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man. Again, I never heard this song before (original or covered), but I really like it. It beats the other, which I do know. I will be adding to that my list of discovered gems!

    Who covered these songs I never heard of before: Chains, Look at Your Game Girl and Simple Man?
