The World's Most Covered Songs

Posted by Alex in Music on March 2, 2009 at 3:53 am


Quick: what are some of the world’s most covered songs? Our very own Stacy Conradt (who btw just got an awesome Haunted Mansion-inspired tattoo) did a nice job in covering the 10 most covered songs in history.

This one is my favorite:

10. The Look of Love, Dusty Springfield. Written by Burt Bacharach and originally sung by Dusty for the first Casino Royale soundtrack in 1967, it’s been covered a lot. Just a few include The Zombies, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Shirley Bassey and Diana Krall.

    Wow. "Happy Birthday" didn't make the list? Seems like it would literally blow away the competition! (Or at least the candles on their cakes :)

    I am amazed not one of these counts as one of my favorites. It comes from not following the herd.
