Line 133:
* The [[Mariah Carey]] version of ''[[Without You]]'' (Can't Live...), generally taken to be the original, is a cover of Harry Nilsson's much earlier version, released a week after Nilsson's death. The song actually originated with Badfinger, but Carey's version (and most other covers of the song) followed Nilsson's arrangement much more closely.
* One pattern that seems to be fairly popular is to have a hardcore or death metal band cover a pop song. Take, for instance, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLzt87q9yZw "1000 Miles"], a cover of [[Vanessa Carlton]]'s "A Thousand Miles" by Australian hardcore band Never See Tomorrow.
* [[The Onion]]'s affiliate pop-culture magazine ''The AV Club'' has a feature called "Undercover" where bands cover popular songs, taken from a limited list. After being covered, a song is crossed off the list so that the earlier a band comes, the better its selection of songs. The first round of songs is available [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027124312/http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-walkmen-cover-rem,38887/ here], the second round (currently ongoing) [https://web.archive.org/web/20131012110523/http://www.avclub.com/articles/bob-mould-covers-sugar,53053/ here].
* [[The Birthday Massacre]] covered [[The Neverending Story (film)|The Neverending Story]] theme song.
* Many people are familiar with the [[Carlos Santana|Santana]] song ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UIojGDIBvI The Game of Love]'' as sung by Michelle Branch from his 2002 album ''Shaman''. This version, however, is '''not''' the original version: Tina Turner originally sang the song, but it was released only five years later on a compilation album.
