Mental Floss: 25 of the Most Covered Songs in Music History

Mental Floss description: Unlike movies, where it's rare that a second (or third) attempt at remaking a film can ever match—let alone top—the original, music is a different sort of creative beast. Just because The Beatles did a bang-up job on one song doesn't mean that Joan Baez or Elvis Presley couldn't do the same tune justice in their own unique way (which is a very good thing, as The Beatles's catalog is one of the most copied in music history).
While not an exhaustive list, here are 25 of the most covered songs in music history.
