I had this all the time when I was living with a younger woman. She thought Ever Fallen In Love was a Fine Young Cannibals original, and when some under-talented Yanks covered Behind Blue Eyes she got in a right strop when I insisted on dusting off Who's Next to demonstrate the original.

A particular favourite of mine is "When I Fall In Love" by Nat King Cole, although it obviously pales into insignificance besides the timeless original by Little Rick Astley.

Oh I forgot- The Arctic Monkeys cover of Sir Tom Jones- you look good on the dance floor. I never realised it was a cover till recently.

Loved that song by Argent. Remember having it on the car stereo back then, with some chick by my side.
