Pretty insensitive timing considering Annie's daughter's partner just drowned the other day.

Every time I see this thread it pisses me off that the Cyndi Lauper song is called a cover in the opening post because a demo of it existed beforehand. GARRR 
The ol' paedos will always sneak in to these yokes
The song: “Hooked on a Feeling”
You know it from: Blue Swede
But it was done first by: Jonathan King
OK. So, “Hooked on a Feeling” was originally a hit in 1968 for B.J. Thomas. In 1974 Blue Swede had a huge hit with the tune, with a bizarre-yet-catchy “ooga chaka” chant added into the intro and bridge. But Blue Swede was merely covering Jonathan King’s version from 1971 which added the inexplicable ooga-chakas. King described them as “a reggae rhythm by male voices.” OK, sure. Blue Swede’s cover of King’s cover has been rediscovered by a whole new generation with its inclusion on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.

When I saw Sabbath there I thought it was gonna be this one.
Probably already mentioned though.
Not technically a cover but it's a bit more than a sample being that the chorus is a straight lift
