Following Kev's inexplicable decision to post Vikki Carr's original version of He's A Rebel in the Classic A Day Thread, here's a thread in which you can post lousy original versions of songs that went on to be classics in the hands of others.

Twist & Shout

Original by The Top Notes

Classic versions by The Isley Brothers

It's not as good as The Crystals version, no. But it's still good!

I think you have a point, Milchy, it's a fantastic song and she's half throttled it to death. Certainly no classic in her clumsy hands.

Young at Heart

Bananarama do the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrC-RzQAwz8

The Bluebells improve it. A lot.

(not sure it's a 'classic' though)

is quite a comprehensive one.

Fighting talk from Kev.

Didn't know that Young At Heart was originally recorded by Bananarama (albeit written by Bluebelles)

I like Dylan's songs but not really when they're sung by Bob Dylan...

Must agree about Vicky Carr. Far too square and MOR - he’s a rebel because he didn’t hand his homework in on time? He left the toilet seat up? (and spot on about My Little Red Book – Bacharach might not have liked the Love version but it’s massively superior).

Iron and Wine’s version of Such Great Heights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX5Dan0VE7w

is better than the Postal Service one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wrsZog8qXg

In the same way, William Shatner’s Rocket Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvQwXOCKNLY

tramples all over Elton’s! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LX7WrHCaUA

Marty Robbins made some great records, but his original version of Singing The Blues was pretty tepid.

In the hands of Jason Eddy & The Centremen, an undoubted classic.
