I was shocked recently to find out I Got My Mind Set on You by George Harrison was a cover.

I didn't know until just a few years ago that the Yardbirds did Dazed and Confused before Zepplin did. I probably should have known but I didn't.

Then I looked it up and the Yardbirds didn't write it either, it was some guy named Holmes who once worked with Joan Rivers which I found pretty surprising

Dancing in the streets. When I first heard the Van Halen version, I didn't know it was a cover.

Must have been fun telling your friend in the 80s that Judas Priest song Diamonds and Rust is a Joan Baez song

The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)

I always thought Judas Priest wrote it.

It's a Fleetwood Mac cover.

Always thought The Who wrote Summertime Blues(Live at Leeds) and Alan Jackson covered it 20yrs later but it was originally written/released by Eddie Cochran

Heart and Soul- charted when Huey Lewis recorded it.

Written and first recorded by Exile in 1981- didn’t crack the Billboard top 100

Discovered that 3 years ago when I pulled one of my mom’s vinyls. Exile’s Heart and Soul album.

I Love Rock 'n' Roll by Joan Jett is a cover tune.

The Arrows wrote it in 1975.
