In continuation from last week's #makeovermonday, Part 4 will also be covering songs that you may not know were cover songs. Some of these may shock you. Some of these you may have never even heard on the charts when they were first recorded. Whether you've heard these songs and thought to yourself, "this song sounds familiar", and then found out that it's a cover. Many artists will do their own renditions of songs for one reason or another. It could be to be to pay tribute to a band or because they like the song so much that they want to do their own spin on it. Whatever the case may be, they did so well enough to make their mark on the music charts in one way or another. There will be some surprises on today's list I'm sure. So let's get this started, shall we?
1.Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. Natalie Imbruglia's version was released in 1997, however, it is a cover by a band that I had never heard of before called Ednaswap. Ednaswap recorded their version in 1995.
2.I Fought The Law by The Clash. The Clash, more famously known for Rock The Casbah, recorded this song in 1979. It was originally recorded and released by The Crickets in 1960.
3.The Man Who Sold The World by Nirvana. Nirvana released this on their MTV Unplugged album back in 1994, however, this is actually a cover song. The original artist? David Bowie. Bowie released his version back in 1970.
- So, did any of these surprise you? Leave a comment to let me know. If you know of any other versions of these songs I might have missed, let me know!

I remember when most people first learned that Torn was a cover a little bit ago. It blew all of their minds. It was a new fact for me as well. I really like Natalie's voice and I think she did a great job with it.

I'm going to admit that I didn't know it Natalie covered it until about three days before I made my post. I was kind of surprised on that one. AJ pointd it out to me and I had to look it up. I think I like her version better though.

This is great, Ilsa! I am so sorry I missed the others. Now, I will have to backtrack to catch up! Surprisingly, I was unaware of Torn by Natalie Imbruglia.
I'll be sure to tune in to the next one!

Thanks, Denise! It's actually something I started doing when I first joined Steemit. But I have a feeling that I will eventually run out of cover songs! Some are very surprising!

Well, you will have to think of something else to makeover! :)
Hope your visit went well and I was driving North when your boyfriend was probably driving south. :)

The visit went well, but seemed to go by so fast! I hope it's not another year before I get to see him again!
