My brain is running through Brecht & Weill, Gershwin and R & H now.

O Fortuna from Carmina Burarna, I'm just throwing out every really big opera aria I can think of now.

Yes, the Big Brother cover hint gave it away for me. Fun to consider the various responses. Wonderful question and good trivia knowledge, though, thank you!

I just checked up on this, as it isn't a subject I've ever even thought about before, and Summertime is listed as No. 6 and Yesterday is No. 1.

I read once that The House of the Rising Sun is the most covered song since 1933.
There are 20 versions just in Spanish

I would have guessed Summertime too, although I suspect that with the immense amount of music that gets recorded each day and all that which keeps getting discovered in vaults, people will continue to be divided on what the actual answer is.

If you are referring to the linked article above, it doesn't say the songs are ranked in any particular order. Just that they are 10 of the most covered song. The article doesn't even say 'the 10 most'covered song. They might not all be in the top 10 because it doesn't specify how many most covered songs were considered. |
