I’ll allow it. We’ll define Lotte Lenya as the original.

I’ve always loved that one!
The whole album is a gem.
Was her version of Suzanne on that one, too? I can’t remember!
Sure enough!
And as an added bonus, a cover WITH the original singer/songwriter:
Yep. Also:
Bob Dylan - Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
Jacques Brel - La Colombe
Richard Peaslee - Marat/Sade
Randy Newman - I Think It’s Going To Rain Today
Donovan - Sunny Goodge Street
Cohen again - Dress Rehearsal Rag
Lennon/McCartney - In My Life
Best cover album ever? I report, you decide.
Pomme covers Françoise Hardy.
and Billie Eilish.
Oh, I loved her Marat/Sade. But Sunny Goodge Street was DONOVAN?
You were expecting…?
I see from YT that it’s featured in the movie Midsommar, which I haven’t seen yet.
Watch It, watch it, it’s bloody terrifying…
I honestly had never given it a moment’s thought, but imagining Donovan singing that song felt odd.
Can you guess which one is Garfunkel?
And now I feel obligated to take the earlier Ring of Fire and the Stan Ridgeway mentions, grip them in my hand, like Superman with a lump of coal, and open it to reveal this diamond:
Which is the most Wall of Voodoo thing ever
And did someone say Jacques Brel?
(Pomplamoose is my go to band for covers of…most anything)
