Script written by Matt Wende.
Brace yourself, those classics you know and love may not be as original as you think. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com counts down our picks for the top 10 songs you didn't know were covers. For this list, we're looking at songs that have achieved wide acclaim and recognition, but had been previously recorded by a different artist. We have ranked the entries based on the popularity of the song, and the surprise factor in finding out about its status as a cover. So in spite of the numerous incarnations of “Hallelujah”, it will not be appearing on this list because the Leonard Cohen original is just as popular.
