Most covered

[SaintAleia]

Does anybody know what the most covered song in music history is? Just out of interest, as I really love them.
And if anybody could recommend some great covers I'd like to know!
TIA

If you're talking about pop music and the charts in general it could be Unchained Melody???

Oh...I'm wrong, apparently it's Yesterday.

yesterday is correct, another beatles song in top list of covered songs is something

[OBonio]

My favourite cover is Cars by Fear Factory. Also, Since Yesterday by Revolver is good. And Word Up by Gun. Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm too.

My favourite cover is Mad World by Gary Jules

I posted this privately to a gorgeous Princess, I sort of know. It didn't woo her but a great cover nonetheless.

And remember David Bowie did a complete album of covers called "Pin Ups". fantastic stuff.
