You know those songs you hear and go "damn, that's a great cover!" only to be corrected by the nearest music snob that "no, this is the original." Or vice-versa.
Examples:
Spoon - I Turn My Camera On, original by Fre$hro
Sublime - Smoke Two Joints, original by the Toyes
A Perfect Circle - The Nurse Who Loved Me, original by Failure
Sixpence None the Richer - There She Goes, original by the La's
Caveat: No cover/tribute compilations or artists whose creative output is less than 50% their own (Richard Cheese, Cat Power, etc.).
