Over time hit songs seem to be recycled by anyone and everyone in the form of a cover.

Some butcher a brilliant track, while others have the uncanny knack of ‘making it their own’ (apologies for borrowing an overused Australian Idol cliché).

We’ve decided to pick out a few of the lesser known covers, or perhaps songs you didn’t even know were covers in the first place!
