The most covered song in the world

The Beatles’ “Yesterday” is the one I “covered” the most while doing Karaoke, Maybe a children’s song such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, or that one that goes something like “A, B, C, D, E...”. Uh, I can’t remember how it goes after that, but some of you might remember the lyrics from when you were a kid, and/or had your own. I shouldn’t necessarily assume it’s in English, could it be “"Non Possum Credere me Totum Edisse”?

all of you are wrong so far. by the way: there are 52300 recorded complete versions of this song and about 6000 more in which it is partially used

My guess is some modern r n b thing by Whitney or MJ or some Elvis song or maybe Bing's White Christmas. But as you're asking I bet it is some prog song.

Nessun Dorma then.

And if you are including the modern musical style operas, could it then be something from West Side Story or South Pacific?

Summertime? That way you have both the opera people and the jazz people contributing to the total (plus the occasional pop or rock interpretation).
