Cover songs?

What happened to the cover song? Back in the day, (way back in the day) an artist would cover a song while that song was still on the charts.

Smiling Faces was done by the Undisputed Truth and the Temptation in the same year.

This came out while the original was still in the charts.

The Manics make it sound like a half decent song! wink

hrmph

You know, that's a very good question LBC. I think today's artist think is not cool to do covers especially if it's still on the charts. It appears to be equivalent to two ladies showing up to a party/gala wearing the same dress or something.
