Travis has covered “Hit Me One More Time,” in concert - I’ve got an acoustic version around here somewhere that’s actually really good. Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of? Or maybe it’s just a very frequently covered song.
Sandra Berhard did a cover mixture of Hendrix’s “Maniac” sliced with JSC’s “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.” I was absolutely amazed at how good it was.
I love Charlotte Church’s “Pie Jesu.”
The B-Side to Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” was ABBA’s “Hasta Manana.” I haven’t heard it yet, but it made about a million dollars for songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus Benny Andersson and Stig Anderson. Some people have all the luck.
Beach Boys- “Why do fools Fall in Love”(Teenagers)
Re “Twist & Shout” -a little known fact-The Isley Brothers covered the Topnotes, whose poor original version was produced by Phil Spector.
