Understood... I can see how it could devolve into just a covers thread...

Slade - Mama Weer All Crazy Now


Quiet Riot's got the glory, but the first version I ever heard, and the one I like better than theirs is

Mama's Boys

Brand New Cadillac- Vince Taylor and his Playboys
Thought about including this in the OP but wasn't sure how many people on this board have heard the remake (by The Clash, which you forgot to mention)

Now this is an impressive example. Even a lot of music experts think the original was by Irma Thomas.

Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers - "Walk Right In" (1929)





The Rooftop Singers - "Walk Right In" (1962) -- This version would go to #1 on the pop chart at the height of the folk revival in 1963 (it even went to #4 on the R&B chart!!!). The vocals may be a bit whitebread but the two 12 string guitars give it an interesting sound.



And ole Gus saw a few bucks

No but someone sure put a hell of a lot of work into it

Bookmarked

I've actually considered a "This Day In Music History" thread for the board (that is, if I can find another site that has already done the research, so all I have to do is cut and paste). But since my attempts to do a similar general history thread on the OT were all anchored, that project has been abandoned.
