    Well there was a dance version that was fairly popular in the early Noughties I think

    There was the Co.Ro version in the Nineties, and I think Cascada also covered it during the Noughties + the MTV Unplugged version of 10000 Maniacs which was very good. There was also a cover from Garbage a few years back, not sure if it was ever released properly though.

    I will also vote for Because The Night, such an iconic song

    Missed the first few as usual, and then arrive in for a tough decision, as all 3 songs here are worthy of my vote, and a particularly tough call between Jimmy Webb and Patti Smith...

    By a nose hair, I'll go with...

    Jimmy Webb - The Highwayman
    Same 4 me. Not as good as the Highwaymen version but a good song nonetheless.

    Speaking of which....

    Actually, I thought it was officially attributed to Paul and Linda McCartney - that's what comes up in the credits of the film of the same name!

    I was weighing up China Girl by Iggy for this but wasn't sure it really qualifies. There's already some surprizing unknowns so far.

    That's a good shout out. Both Iggy's and Bowie's versions are really good.

    If we were judging which song has spawned my favourite covers, it would be Robyn, but for the quality of the original this is probably a better song... Difficult to not vote for the familiar.

    Calum Scott's cover works very well too.

    Them - Gloria. When Van was still young and exciting, and not a cantankerous old conspiracy theorist.

    Robyn Dancing On My Own

    The verse vocal rhythm reminds of something; I think it's the chorus of Neil Young's Keep On Rockin' In The Free World.
