Was cyber-chatting about music last night. Someone pointed out that the Every Time You Go Away had been written by Hall and Oates but given to the then unknown-in-America Paul Young, and wondered, "Why didn't they record it themselves? Didn't they realize how good it was?"

Someone responded, "Otis Redding recorded his song Respect, but I wonder if he regrets giving it to Aretha Franklin." That led someone to write, "You could say the same thing about Carole King's song Natural Woman, which Aretha also made a huge hit."

That got me to thinking, "If I could pick a song for Bon Jovi to cover, what would it be?" I'd love to hear Tico, Richie, and Dave kicking the sh*t out of --with Jon looking like deer in headlights and Huey tying them up with a fat slow deep hard filthy throbbing bass line!
