Here's a good one: The first time I heard "Wild Thing" was the remake by X in the 80s. For maybe two years in high school I thought that was their song. Then my art teacher schooled me. | |

Well, since you admitted to that one, I'll divulge that when I was young I thought that "You Really Got Me" was a Van Halen song. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Afterhours REM (velvet underground cover)
It was weird, cause my very first roommate was way into Velvet Underground and got me into them. One day he HAD to play me one of their songs he thought I'd love. It was afterhours. And indeed, I fell in love, but couldn't help remembering it from somewhere. It bugged me for hours till I recognized it from some REM live concert footage that was played during the credits of some MTV special about them in probably 91 or 92. This was probably 3-4 years later.  |

I just thought of two more while listening to the originals while running today. (how sad is that that I even thought of a thread on the org while working out?  )
Two glam rock classics: Slade - Cum On Feel the Noize (covered by Quiet Riot) T. Rex - Get It On (Bang A Gong) (covered by Power Station) In the 80s, I totally thought these were original songs. 
Power Station's version of it is a damn good cover though. I almost started a thread about T. Rex vs. Power Station regarding this song. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I knew "I'll Be There" before she did it on Unplugged.
I DID NOT know about "Genius Of Love" before she did "Fantasy". 
I knew "The Beautiful Ones" before she did it on Butterfly.
I knew "Body Rock" before she did "Honey".
I still don't really know that Stacy Lattisaw song she used on "Heartbreaker".
I knew everything she covered or referenced for Glitter.  | |
