I never knew this song was a cover, I always thought it was an homage to a certain sort of educational media those of us who grew up in the middle of the 20th century were familiar with.  Learn something new every day.

My worldview is SHATTERED.
Does this mean I can cover the song, and when people ask me if I'm covering the TMBG song, I can sigh?

I did know that, what with there being a version on It's Fun To Steal. I should have told you, I know!
Not as good as the other version though. That said I can't remember which other one it's on now, apart from live on Severe Tire Damage... Too much TMBG...

Why Does The Sun Shine was a little EP, with a cover of an Allman Brothers song, a Meat Puppets cover, and Spy.

Okay, usually not knowing of the Beatle's White Album would be a bannable offence, but seeing as you're a regular and all, I'll let you go get a copy now and then come back and post something about it.

Actually, I can't recall if I've ever heard a Beatles song all the way through.

As soon as I'm finished weeping uncontrollably, I'll be sure to mail you a CD.  This is a nearly unforgivable offense.

But, as Jough has said, you have many other fine qualities, so we'll just have to work on this one.

I think I knew the rest of those were covers, but I did not know these two.  Who did New York City originally?

I just saw the original group of the Istanbul song perform last Friday night on one of those PBS remember when shows.  It was all groups from the 50's.  These guys are fossils, they were all in their 80's I would guess.  But they were having a good time and the octogenerian crowd was eating it up.  They are also the same group that did Standing on the Corner (Watching all the Girls Go By).

Apparently it was The Four Lads and Cub, respectively.

The Four Lads also recorded "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea," which is fun to sing along with in a very "I am in summer camp again" way.

Not that anyone asked, but it's fun.
