Here are the cover songs that got it right (and wrong)

from How We Heard It · host howweheardit

You might be surprised to find out how many of your favorite hits are actually cover songs - from Aretha Franklin's "Respect" to Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." This week Wayne and Chuck dive into the powerful world of cover songs - who has done them (spoiler alert: almost everybody) and why they would do them. They talk about who out-"Hurt" NIN, who out-"Creeped" Radiohead and the very rare times other artists have bested the Beatles with their covers of songs by the Fab Four. The guys also talk about how a song about sex keeps getting covered as a song about religion, and they try to settle the great Whitney vs. Dolly debate.
