covers vs originals music class

1 paragraph – this is for my music class

This week, a number of musical examples are covers of other existing songs. Choose a cover song and its original recordings and discuss the differences between the two, and which version is the “definitive” version. Below are some examples from this week, or you can choose one you are already familiar with (please embed the videos here for comparison). It may be helpful to think about the notion of appropriation in some cases.

  • “Blue Suede Shoes” – Carl Perkins v. Elvis Presley
  • “Hound Dog” – Big Mama Thornton v. Elvis
  • “Tutti Frutti” – Little Richard v. Pat Boone
  • “The Twist” – Hank Ballard v. Chubby Checker
