Songs most people probably don't realize are covers (original artists noted parenthetically):
'I Love Rock And Roll' - Joan Jett (The Arrows)
'Nothing Compares 2 U' - Sinead O'Connor (The Family)
'Blinded By The Light' - Mannfred Mann (Springsteen)
'Time Is On My Side' - Rolling Stones (Irma Thomas)
'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' - Cyndi Lauper (Robert Hazard)
'Hey Joe' -Jimi Hendrix (The Leaves)
In each case, I prefer the cover.
