Top 10 Songs Where You Most Likely Heard a Cover Version Before the Original
This can happen a lot. You hear a cover of the song before the original song itself. Now I'm not saying that any of these covers are better than the original (some are and some aren't). What I mean is these are songs you most likely heard a cover of before hearing the original.
You probably heard the Joan Jett version or if you are unlucky the Britney Spears Version ugh...
If you're unlucky you heard the Britney Spear's version first...

For the longest time, I actually thought Whitney Houston's version was the original version of this song.







I first heard Blind Guardian cover of 2007 while the original is of 1931...

If you are unlucky you probably heard the Awful Limp Bizkit cover

You've probably heard Mariah Carey's cover first, and might think that Harry Nilsson's version is the original.
I heard Harry's version first.

I heard the Nirvana version first, and no disrespect to David Bowie but I prefer Nirvana's version
For the longest time, I never fully realized that Cyndi Lauper's version was a cover. It totally changes the song's meaning.


I first heard the cover by Blind Guardian.




You propably have heard Nightwish's version first.
I didn't by the way, I saw the short animated movie this is from as a child, then years later again as a teenager. I didn't recall it being that depressingly sad.
But that was how I discovered Nightwish, by browsing this song.

Who covered this?

You probably heard the Metallica version first.
