When the version is better than the original

4.612 HBDWhen the version is better than the original
 As we enter another weekend, hopefully in tranquility, I'm sharing with you 3 versions of songs that have surpassed the success and recognition of their originals. When I thought of publishing this, I had the idea of using the expression “cover”. But that's not the case. “Cover” applies when a band tries to replicate the work of other artists. A good example of this was when [Dream Theater](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUoUim7WGwo) recorded Pink Floyd - *Dark Side of the Moon live*. In these cases, they are versions. Because there's no intention to make it the same, just to adapt the music to the style and creativity of the band/artist playing it. The differences in style, vibe, success and recognition are obvious. We often go to listen to the original when a version has piqued our interest.  #### *“Twist And Shout”* - Beatles vs The Top Notes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-VAxGJdJeQ Released on the **Beatles** debut album, *Please Please Me*, in 1963, the song soon became one of the most recognizable rock n' roll songs in history. However, the original song belongs to **The Top Notes** who released it on the B-side of their single “Always Late (Why Lead Me On)” in 1991. Before The Beatles, **The Isley Brothers** recorded a version that made it into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDGmogV1Qw8  #### *“I Fought The Law”* - The Clash vs The Crickets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL8chWFuM-s In the yo-yo era of 1960, the band **The Crickets** created this song, which had its potential in **The Clash** punk version. Meanwhile, between rock n' roll and punk, **The Bobby Fuller Four** gave it a garage rock version. Recorded in 1965, this version made it onto Rolling Stone list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. The story goes that **The Clash** got the idea to recreate the song when Joe Strummer and Mick Jones heard **The Bobby Fuller Four**'s version on a jukebox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLoskF32tCU  ### *“The Man Who Sold The World”* - Nirvana vs David Bowie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fregObNcHC8 Released in 1970 as a single from **David Bowie** album of the same name. When Nirvana performed the version at “MTV Unplugged in New York” in 1994, there was speculation about the originality of the song. **Nirvana** interpretation is sad but sublime, surpassing David Bowie original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSH--SJKVQQ  I confess, I always thought that The Beatles, The Clash and Nirvana owned the original songs. I found out while doing research for this publication. This is the knowledge gained from the stimulus of making a publication for HIVE.
