21 Hit Songs You Never Knew Were Actually Covers
Many people prefer certain song covers to the original, which is perfectly fine. On the other hand, there are songs that people are clueless about, even if they are song covers in the first place! Which means I can now rock out to two versions of these classics! Here are 21 songs you didn't know were actually covers: "1985" by Bowling for Soup is a cover of the song by American pop-punk band SR-71, which was released just two months earlier in Japan before the manager believed it was a better fit for Bowling for Soup. Although probably more well-known, the emotional song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash is a cover of the song performed by the rock band Nine Inch Nails. "Respect" by Aretha Franklin is a cover of Otis Redding's 1965 song by the same name. Franklin really flipped the lyrics on their head to create an all-time classic. "Renegades of Funk" by Rage Against the Machine is a cover of the Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force song of the same name. The song "It's My Life" by No Doubt is a cover of the English band Talk Talk's original release in 1984. The iconic "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston is a cover of the 1974 song by Dolly Parton, which was featured on her famous album "Jolene." An absolute shocker to my '90s brain, but the 1997 hit song "Torn" by Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia is actually a cover originally sung by American rock band Ednaswap, which was released in 1995. The popular song "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls is a cover of the original song by Tori Alamaze. The popular '80s hit "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell is a cover of Gloria Jones's "Tainted Love," released in 1964. The song "Superman" by R.E.M. is a cover of "Superman" by The Clique. A B-Side track on the album "White Tornado," it's an R.E.M. gem. The mega summer hit from 1999 "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega is a sample of the original version by Cuban musician Dámaso Pérez Prado from 1950. The 1992 song "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus is a cover of "Don't Tell My Heart," which was first recorded in 1991 by The Marcy Brothers. The song "If I Were A Boy" by Beyoncé was performed initially by BC Jean in 2008. The song "Black Magic Woman" by Santana is a cover of the song by Fleetwood Mac. Mind blown. In my defense, the Santana version has more views on YouTube than any other version by Fleetwood Mac. "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band might be the more popular version, but it was originally written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen. The popular Joan Jett & the Blackhearts song "I Love Rock 'n Roll" is a cover of the British glam band Arrow's song "I Love Rock 'n 'Roll." "Dancing in the Moonlight" by the English band Toploader is a cover of the song originally recorded by Sherman Kelly's band, Boffalongo, which first released it in 1970. Then, Kelly rereleased the song with his new band, King Harvest, in 1972. So, technically, Kelly covered his own song. "Black Betty" by Ram Jam is a cover of a song credited to songwriter Huddie Ledbetter. The oldest recorded version was performed by James "Iron Head" Baker and a group of Texas prisoners in the 1930s. "Take Me to the River" by American rock band Talking Heads is a cover of the 1974 soul song by Al Green. The 1995 hit "Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio (ft. L.V.) is actually a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from 1976. Lastly, and mainly for the youngins, Post Malone's cover of the alternative rock song "Only Wanna Be With You," originally released by Hootie & the Blowfish, is now a pop song featured in the Pokémon 25 soundtrack, which has 18M views on YouTube. Is there a song you were stunned to learn was a cover? Comment below (the song and artists)!

Jade Shenker of Netflix's 'Owning Manhattan' dishes on labiaplasty
A Big Apple realtor famous for wheeling and dealing on Netflix's hit series 'Owning Manhattan' went to Turkey for her boldest renovation to date: labiaplasty. 'The experience was amazing…and I'm already feeling the confidence boost one million percent,' Jade Shenker gushed to The Post less than three weeks after going under the knife. Soon after ending her nearly decade-long relationship last year, Shenker, 29, learned about labiaplasty from a girlfriend who had just undergone the cosmetic genital procedure — also known as 'designer vagina' surgery — and was immediately sold on the idea, she recalled. Advertisement Jade Shenker couldn't be happier with her labiaplasty experience earlier this month, she told The Post. Helayne Seidman 'Even though I like dressing sexy and that makes me feel confident, as far as being intimate, I've always been very shy. Especially being newly single, I was like, why can't I have that same confidence in other areas of my life?' Shenker said. For 'purely cosmetic reasons,' she reached out to Upper East Side plastic surgeons who charge nearly $15,000 for the procedure, but didn't feel inspired by the interiors they designed. Advertisement 'Their before and afters were okay,' Shenker said with a shrug. But all bets were off when she came across Dr. Mehmet Bekir Şen, a plastic surgeon dedicated to the procedure in Istanbul, Turkey. 'I loved the aesthetic of his work versus anyone else's work,' Shenker said, noting that the Euro doc's ooh-la-la vulvas looked 'evenly puffed and less pigmented' than other designer vaginas she'd seen. Advertisement The Upper West Sider signed up for the full package, which included reshaping the vaginal 'lips' by removing excess tissue with a scalpel or laser, cutting the clitoral hood and 'puffing' the labia majora, by using fat from her inner thighs. She originally booked the procedure for July 9, but moved it up to July 4 after an ominous warning from her astrologist. 'There was a full moon on July 10, so she was like, 'Jade, I prefer you not get it done on the 9th because it's too close — we're already in a retrograde and doing it so close to a full moon, it would be more likely that you'll have complications and it will take you long to heal,'' Shenker said. She walked 10,000 steps without a problem just a day after two hour, $5,500 procedure. Advertisement And her new coochie is as couture as the penthouses she hawks. 'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people…it's literally just about how I feel,' Shenker said. 'I wanted and paid for the perfect vagina,' Shenker boasted. 'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people — it's not about the male gaze or the female gaze — it's literally just about how I feel. It's me feeling like I am the person that I want to look at in the mirror every day,' she added.
