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.

“Mony Mony” is a song written by Tommy James and The Shondells and released in 1968.

It has been covered by several acts including:

The Beach Boys recorded an unreleased version in 1975.

Billy Idol on his 1981 album “Don’t Stop”.

Status Quo put their take on it on their 2000 album “Famous In The Last Century”.

Just a bloke getting on with life, seemingly becoming less tolerant, more grumpy and politically incorrect as I go.
