Who did it better?
Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.
Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.
“C’mon Everybody” is a song written by Jerry Cape Heart and Eddie Cochran and released by Eddie Cochran in 1958.
It has been covered by many acts including:
