Further to glamphotographer's thread about Cindy Lauper's cover of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." What song did you hear and think it was an original, only to find out it was a cover. When you heard the original, did you like it more or less?

I'll go first.


Cover: Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U

Love Prince, but I like Sinéad's cover better.
