Recently, Mark has been plagued by people who consider "Love Hurts" to be a Nazareth song instead of a Gram Parsons song. To be honest, that was news to me as well. Most folks WILL consider it a Nazareth song, since that version was the bigger hit. It's not the only one- here's 13 more songs that were bigger hits the second time around.

1) Our Lips Are Sealed/The Go-Go's

Originally by Fun Boy Three. Crappy both times.

2) Blinded By the Light/Manfred Mann's Earth Band

This is the party tune that started many a drunken discussion about whether or not they said "douche".  The original Springsteen version, which sounded like it was recorded immediately after a drunken bar fight, didn't help.

3) Once Bitten, Twice Shy/Great White

Former Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter didn't get as big a hit with his original version, but then again he never baked a crowd of people alive, either.

4) After Midnight/Eric Clapton

This was written and recorded by the formidable, but not famous, J.J. Cale. So was Cocaine.

5) Call Me the Breeze/Lynyrd Skynyrd

J.J. Cale again.

6) Blue Suede Shoes/Elvis Presley

The King of Sneer took this tune from Carl Perkins.

7) Venus/Bananarama

Originally done 20 years earlier by one-hit-wonder Shocking Blue. Another sterling example of someone taking a crappy song and making it just as crappy all over again.

8) Lotta Love/Nicholette Larson

She also sang the backup vocals for Neil Young's original version.

9) Hey Joe/Jimi Hendrix

Actually, this was the 7th version, and by no means the last. The first was in 1965, by The Leaves.

10) I'm a Believer/The Monkees

Would you believe Neil Diamond?

11) One Way Out/Allman Brothers

This is the song playing in the background while the drunks have the "douche" argument. The original was Sonny Boy Williamson in 1961, but the 1965 version by Elmore James is also worth a mention.

12) Crossroads/Cream

There's been a million versions of this blues standard. Cream's great version is the best known, and I'm uncertain as to why, since this goes all the way back to Robert Johnson in 1936.

13) Black Magic Woman/Santana

Okay, this version deserves to be the more famous one. It is a bit better than the original one by the original Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is still the best lineup that band ever had, though. In fact, they were one of the best blues bands that England ever produced.
