The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

I think I've just worked out why I'd never heard of Petra until I checked out who'd covered that song.

Maybe it's because Alice Cooper was in Wayne's World, and Bill and Ted Bogus Journey ended on God Gave Rock and Roll to You?

I'm still convinced I've heard Alice Cooper doing it, even though he hasn't. I can only put it down as proof positive that the Mandela Effect is real.

Listening to it, it is a fairly obvious rip-off of All the Young Dudes, isn't it?
And All the Young Dudes was a fairly obvious rip-off of Carry that Weight.

I have never heard the original version of I Think We're Alone Now by Tommy James and the Shondells.

Tommy James and the Shondells had two US Number One hits.
That wasn't one of them.
One of them was called Hanky Panky.

Denny Laine's original version of Say You Don't Mind, what Colin Blunstone later had a hit with.
That is somewhat chaotic.
It does, however, become clear that the song's somewhat modelled on Got To Get You Into My Life.

I didn't realise that Touch Me (All Night Long) by Cathy Dennis was a cover version until last night when Trevor Nelson played the original Fonda Rae version on his Radio 2 show. Turns out it reached number 49 in the UK in 1984.

It's quite a monotone vocal. Natalie King Cole definitely did it better.

I have never, until now, heard Joni Mitchell and Webb's original version of Woodstock.

I wonder who'd win a fight between Yasgur's Farm and Junior's Farm?
