Curious George A musical roundabout.

I am trying to put together a mix CD of cover songs. The trick is that I want them to be in order. For instance. Social Distortian covers Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire'. Johnny Cash covers Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt'. Nine Inch Nails covers...etc. Ideally I could work it back to the original artist. Any ideas of cover songs that might work?

  • Frank Sinatra covers Beatles "Something", Beatles Covered "I Got A Woman" by Ray Charles, Ray Charles covered Buck Owens' "Crying Time" but that only leads back to The Beatles "Act Naturally". Dang!
  • err no it doesn't . . Buck Owens *wrote* Act Naturally . . is it Christmas yet?
  • Thanks petebest. Good songs. Also, I can envision this being rather large, i.e. 100+ songs across a wide variety of genres. So random connections are great too.
  • Nine Inch Nails cover's Queen's Get down, make love
  • oh, and no fair cheating at Covers project.
  • boo Thanks for the great link. Maybe I'll sneak a few of theirs...
  • man, I can't believe I wrote "cover's". I'm so embarrassed.
  • boo - 'tis a fine link you've discover'd upon thine Int'rnet. ;) honk!
  • One wonders how the mix CD turned out.
