Siouxie's Dear Prudence is one of my favourite songs.

can't recollect if it ever made a chart, but the Stones' version of I Wanna be Your Man is a good deal better than the original (though the Beatles actually gave it to them)

[TheFrogman]

The Stones actually released it (UK #12) before The Beatles, an example of 'precovery'?

[Zacs-Master]

He he.

...and I make it roughly 1.73 US number ones:

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Elton John
Stars on 45 (Medley) - Stars on 45

The latter included eight Beatles songs among the 11 in the medley:
No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want to Know a Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going to Lose That Girl.

I loved Michael Jackson's "Come Together" . It was terrific and a wow of a video to go with it. LOVE it and much prefer it to the original.

Candy Flip must have done something right to take Strawberry Fields Forever to Number 3 in 1990.

Green Day used to do Hey Jude as part of their King For A Day/Shout medley - that always went down well!
