Consider my mind BLOWN!

Buzzfeed is right. I had absolutely no idea that those songs were covers! Especially Instanbul. I figured that was 100% They Might be Giants.

The original version of Cum on Feel the Noize is really good, and I thought the Quiet Riot version was good.

Wow, craziness.

I didn't even know Tiffany did a cover of I think we're alone now, I always knew that one as a Tommy James and the Shondells tune.

I knew Hey Joe was a cover but I'd never heard the original, Hendrix did it way better.

I didn't need to know that, counting the Weird Al cover, there are 3 versions of Micky, Ricky, Nikki, whatever.

I am officially a Slade fan now, the lead singer looks like a rejected idea for a Doctor Who regeneration.

Natalie Imbruglia's only good song was a cover, Hah!

Fun Fact, the cover versions of Istanbul and Respect were both featured in the "MTV" style episode of Tiny Toon Adventures.

There, I'm done.
