Not knowing a song is a cover of another.
Let's say you like this band, and you really like this one song they do, and you might even love that song, and you might even have loved that song for years, marveling with each three minute spin at the genius, that face or faces, that produced this harmonious combination of sounds. Then, you discover to your amazement and disgust — maybe on the oldies station, maybe through a friend's knowledge — that you've been incorrectly attributing the talent to the wrong person the whole time.

yeah... i LOVED paulson's "funny valentine" for years. it was not until I worked at an italian restaurant with a rotating soundtrack did I hear frank sinatra singing the same lyrics much better, and far before paulson. I felt even dumber being a fairly large sinatra fan.

so are you yet aware that My Funny Valentine wasn't written by or for Frank Sinatra, but is from the musical Babes in Arms by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart? and has been sung by countless performers over the decades since it was first written?

I don't get it ~ is one supposed to automatically know a song is not an original but actually a cover?
