The cover versions quiz part 1

Cover versions quiz

Name the artist, song and the artist who is best known for the song. The who is best known part of the answer is down to my own decision, so please don't argue with me if you think another version is better known.

I've only done 10 to start with, but I have enough songs to do another 3 or 4 rounds. The versions I have aren't necessarily cover versions, they may be originals that aren't known as well as other versions.

Ant And Dec - Parklife - Blur

No. You probably haven't heard of the Parklife one, better to try some of the others, some of them are very well known artists.

Please read the rules - I want to know who did the best known versions of the songs too.

George Michael and James Brown are wrong, as is the title of the Carter track.

 

[Hazzman]

Luther Vandross - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - The Temptations

 

[Hazzman]

Panic - Carter USM - The Smiths

george michael(?) - papa was a rolling stone (was not was)

The version on here is by Was Not Was. So who did the best known version?

sweet caroline - james brown (neil diamond)

2/3. It's not James Brown.

hang the dj - carter the unstoppable sex machine (the smiths)

2/3. I'm sure you know the real name of the song.

lost in music - the fall (pointer sisters)

2/3. Not the Pointer Sisters (but close!). One of the Pointer Sisters died yesterday

 

[webmaster]

Luther Vandross - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - The Temptations

Not Luther (Ox inadvertantly named Was Not Was!)

It was the Temptations I was looking for - they had a no. 14 single with the song in 1973, and it got to number 31 when it was re-released in 1987.
