There should be a word for That Moment when you realise

that the version of the song you always knew was in fact a cover. :yikes:

Just heard 'Denise' by Randy and the Rainbows. After forty-odd years of thinking that Blondie had written it. :homer: Though it does explain why they never wrote a tune as good as that one.

Nearest feeling to that recently was hearing the Beach Boys version of that surf track on Pulp Fiction.

I remember my surprise when I learnt that Patti Smith's 'Because The Night' was actually Bruce's 'Because The Night.'

Also, The Pointer Sisters' 'Fire'. That was Bruce's, too.

I found this out on a late night BBC or Sky Arts program and I think I actually rewound the program to make sure I was not mistaken.

Not that long ago either, 12 months perhaps.

A song one has known for 30-40 years.

To be fair she re-wrote the lyrics a bit and added a verse. He often performs the original version live.

reader in my youth. Fire and "Because The Night" being Spingsteen comps has won me the odd fiver over the years.

Of course, a big poncy public school boy toff like you would not have read the NME, due to most of the editorial staff not being poncy public school types.

Widely accepted among Weller fetishists s. The cognoscenti (me) recognise Dylan's live version as the best.

I think it is accepted Awimb protocol that one cannot have a Dylan based discussion without Peter here to tell us we are all wrong.
