While it has been said that there's nothing quite like the original, that doesn’t mean variations of songs can’t be unique and spectacular in their own way. Artists recognize other artists and what better way to show their appreciation for a particular song than performing it using their own voice. For this list, only one song per band or singer will be listed, which unfortunately for the Beatles, (who are responsible for writing most of the popular songs frequently covered throughout history) means they will only be featured once.

Here are some of the most covered songs in history.

“Yesterday” by The Beatles

Undoubtedly the most covered song in history, “Yesterday” has racked up approximately 2,200 variations since it was released in 1966. It seems that almost every genre of music has a version of “Yesterday,” from classical orchestras to country stars such as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard putting their southern twang on the tune, no one wanted to miss out on this infinite classic. Other big names who couldn’t resist this song's hopeful and calming melody include Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin.

“Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen

One of the most beloved religious songs of all time, this powerful tune has been covered by a number of different artists, religiously related or not. Despite being written by Leonard Cohen, the most famous version of this song is sung by *Jeff Buckley in *1994, winning multiple awards and being included on multiple greatest songs lists.

“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones:

Toward the top half of the most covered songs throughout musical history, “Satisfaction” has approximately 400 different recordings strewn across streaming platforms everywhere. Released in 1965, jam bands like the Grateful Dead to all female groups such as The Shirelles have given this tune a try. Even The Beatles, the band with the most commonly covered songs, have played this track throughout their career, earning The Rolling Stones some serious bragging rights.

“My Way” by Frank Sinatra

This song is originally a French song about a man who had become sick with his marriage, which had been destroyed by the boredom of everyday life. This song was heard by the ears of Paul Anka, a popular singer-songwriter throughout the '60s and '70s, who rewrote the lyrics and pitched the idea to Frank Sinatra, who eventually recorded it, releasing the tune in 1975. This song has been covered by some of the greats such as Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis Jr. and even Seth MacFarlane on the popular TV show Family Guy. “Over the Rainbow” by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, sung by Judy Garland “Over the Rainbow '' is a song written for the movie The Wizard of Oz, and sung by Judy Garland as her character Dorothy in 1939. One of the most famous covers of this song, arguably more famous than the original, is sung and performed by Hawaiian artist Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. In Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of the song, he mixes it with “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, giving it a unique and catchy sound that blends well with Garland's “Over the Rainbow.” Other covers of this tune include Eric Clapton, P!nk, Trisha Yearwood and Frank Sinatra.

Play audio Pause audio Play audio

Sounds are measured in decibels, or dB. With extended or up-close exposure, noises that reach 85 decibels or higher can cause permanent damage to the cilia, or hair cells, in the inner ear, leading to permanent hearing loss. Keep in mind that exposure to sounds higher than 110 decibels can cause instantaneous hearing loss.

Levels and sources of damaging noise include:

85 – 100 decibels: For example, a hair dryer, blender, power lawn mower, forklift, or subway train

100 – 120 decibels: For example, a bulldozer, impact wrench, or motorcycle

120 – 140 decibels: Such as, a rock concert, auto racing, or a hammer pounding a nail 170 – 190 decibels: For example, a shot gun blast or a rocket lift off Without hearing protection, high-decibel exposure can damage hearing, especially when experienced at close range or for prolonged periods of time. It’s important to wear ear plugs or other hearing protection devices when engaging in noisy activities in order to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. Keep in mind there are a variety of mobile applications and hand-held noise meters available that monitor noise levels.
