	Thanks for playing my quiz! That's the power of The Beatles that some of these covers were popular in the day, but the Beatles' version is the most played and most remembered, even though it wasn't the hit. Some of these were from the awful "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" movie soundtrack, others from the mid-70s "All This And World War 2" compilation.

	come together. its been covered by aerosmith, michael jackson. and so many more people!

	Was hoping for Jeff Healey but I guess he's not known around the US

	Fun fact (you'll be the judge of that I guess): The Beach Boys covered "You've got to hide your love away" on their 1965 "Paty!" album. But that one did not chart. I only bring it up because some of these have been covered multiple times, but not necessarily the same year as in the quiz.

	Favorite Beatles cover - Frank Sinatra's "Something": "You're asking me will my love grow?/I don't know, Jack, I don't know".

	Billy Joel also covered 'Back in the USSR'on his album KOHЦEPT.

	Joe Cocker does amazing Beatles covers

	@Senor_Borracho: That's true, but it didn't chart.

	jhollahan:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 15:54 GMT	-3 points
	"A World Without Love" was written specifically for Peter & Gordon, so I wouldn't call it a cover.

	A few suprise additions though too late now I suppose - cover of Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da by Marmalade UK #1, Hello Little Girl by the Fourmost UK #1 - it was given to them like Bad To Me etc. also what made you chose David and Jonathan over Overlanders who got Michelle to #1?

	yippeeyappee:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 00:04 GMT	2 points
	@Caesar: All chart positions were US as mentioned in the game notes! The songs you mention didn't even make it to the top 100 on the Billboard charts, believe it or not!

	YoshiEgg25:	Jul 7th, 2010 at 03:26 GMT	1 point
	The Rolling Stones cover of "I Wanna Be Your Man"? It was released before the Beatles even released their version.

	Caesar:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 21:38 GMT	3 points
	@yippeeyappee thanks for pointing that out; though I now think I'm going insane. I could have sworn I double checked to make sure that it was UK not US. It's not looking good, I'm only 22 and already going doolally.

	Earth, Wind and Fire and Aerosmith had hits with Beatles songs from the "Sgt. Pepper" film soundtrack. Surprised they weren't listed.

	caramba:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 18:54 GMT	1 point
	@quent1979: Aerosmith's version of "Come Together" charted lower than the Beatles' original (#23 vs #1) as did EWF for "Got To Get You Into My Life" (#9 vs #7). @YoshiEgg25: Neither version of the song charted in the USA.

	i'm surprised eric clapton isn't on here considering how close he was to them

	Randy59:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT	1 point
	I love being in the 5% that got obscure answers. Not sure where I dregged up some of those. THANK YOU for not including "Stars On 45"

	Aretha Franklin came close with "Eleanor Rigby." Her version charted at 17 in the U.S. while the Beatles got to 11 with the original.

	Answered four, kicked myself for not recalling three others, and was amazed that so few people remembered the covers of their songs. Fun quiz. I wonder if any of the covers charted better than the Beatles originals.
