secondhandsongs.com is a good place to go if you want to see who actually did the original, and often it's not the one you know. It could be from an obscure artist or it could have been a hit for an older generation.

Even The Beatles "Twist And Shout", "'Till There Was You", "You Really Got A Hold On Me", "Rock And Roll Music", "Roll Over Beethoven" and others were covers or reinterpretations of previous versions.

The one that was popular when you were young tends to be the one you think of as 'original'.
