GREAT COVERS OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS

One of the original punk rock songs is Surfing Bird by the trashmen from 1964, which is Peter Griffin's favorite record.    This was actually a cover of two songs by the Rivingtons, Birds The Word and PaPa um Ma Ma from 1962.   The Rivingtons' original has the juice.  Many others have also recorded the two songs and of these my favorite is by the Ramones.    

The best, Tina Turner. A 1989 cover of Bonnie Tyler, 1988. 

Had no idea Tina’s version was a cover until 

the day she passed. I played it that day and 

have played it every day since. It still brings

me to tears.

No one else should EVER try to sing it

except for Tina. She, like the song, is

THE BEST 🎼💜😢

Landslide - The Chicks (formerly Dixie Chicks), Stevie Nicks cover

Their harmonies are so beautiful. But they also performed it live with Stevie Nicks and that added a new dimension.
