Happy #MIOSM! Sometimes musicians like to perform their own versions of
another artist’s song. We usually call the new version of a song a cover.
Sometimes, the cover is more well known than the original song! Find several
examples of original and cover songs. Compare the two versions. Which version
do you like better? Share your answers with a friend. #NCGME #MusicIsAllOfUs #NighthawkProud
