J'aime les reprises
J'aime les dandy warhols
Le bonheur du matin
17 track album
Just realized these two songs are the same music with different lyrics. Is there a third (first?) source?
Koreana in New York by RooRa 1997 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=49Rzhk83GPU
Africain à Paris by Tiken Jah Fakoly 2007

Not saying an African-French group wouldn't cover a KPop song from 10 years before, just I would be surprised since KPop was not yet a worldwide phenomenon; thinking that happened in the 2010s.
Here we go day three and… Yeah, dunno what's with all the country, I swear that'll stop at some point.
Any how, let's have some Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy who was one of the many to cover it. I'm fairly certain Tanya Tucker's is the one, but I might be wrong, it was recorded in 72 by Bette Midler on her debut album as well as Tanya Tucker, and Helen Reddy came along in 73 to record it. Its first recording was by its co-writer Alex Harvey in 71, so it was pretty hot for a little while there.
Day 2, and what do I have for you?
More country, and a sorta surprising one, surprising in that it doesn't get a lot of covers, more than I realized for one of Marty Robbins' best songs, Big Iron. Its a fairly typical song of the time, though I will say it made me aware of one piece of wild west history that I wasn't aware of, Rangers are not exclusively Texan. Yep, we've all heard of the Texas Rangers, but this song is about an Arizona Ranger, but is a typical 50's wild west shoot out, and of course the good guy wins.
Ok, another year,another March of the covers. I was planning on posting about this a few days ago, and the first video link this morn, but work's been crazyso it'll start later.
So what is the March of the covers? A YouTube link to a cover song evere day this month. I started this last year and i not only have a playlist for this year, but most of next year. You may also get a bit of chatter about the song too, but what you won't get are covers done for comedic reasons like The Cleverleys cover of Ganum Style. You also won't see live only covers, like ia band does an oncore performance of covers that they never record in studio.
EDIT
Last year's playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfOhHdvmYJXiaGurRj7eWPyOlYRe0WPCn
I've decided that I'm going to do it as a single thread, so each song will be a reply to this post, so if'n you want to comment on a video, just reply to that reply.
Here's a playlist of mine with 44 cover songs, by 44 different bands/artists. 👍

I like a good cover song as much as the next guy, as long as it is actually different from the original.
In no particular order here's my top three at the moment:
Johnny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails)
Korn - Another Brick in the Wall (Pink Floyd)
Motörhead - Heroes (David Bowie)
I had an absolute favorite for a while, but the artist turned out to think autographing bombs meant for killing civilians was a good idea, so I don't listen to that one any more.
