Robert Hazard - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Layton and Johnstone - On the Sunny Side of the Street.

Cindi did girls just wanna have fun better imho

Hall & Oates, Every Time

Anita Carter - Ring Of Fire

Fascinating collection here.

I did not realize that Daryl Hall and John Oates did the original version of Everytime You Go Away. It's a much better arrangement than Paul Young's cover.

I never heard that song by the Carter Family before, original or covered. It's pretty cute.

Then you have Anita Carter, a member of the same family, with her rendition of Ring of Fire, which was co-written by her sister June. I never heard this original version before. It's nice, but I think I prefer Johnny Cash's version.

I vote for Everytime You Go Away - Hall & Oates.

What Declan said. Its been really interesting so far but for me some of the covers are much better than the originals.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge

Yes Mr Hazard sounds like a total Bryan Ferry rip-off.

I love the Cyndi Lauper version, knew it was a cover but had never heard the original before. Might just be me but gosh, how creepy it sounded having this guy sing it!

Anyway.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under the Bridge

Didn't know All Saints covered this. I'm far from a RHCP fan, but this and Californication are two of theirs that I actually like.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge for me.

I heard the All Saints cover first and loved it (its decent as covers go for a pop band).
