Thread Name: Strange musical discoveries
Subject: Strange musical discoveries
Friday day is music day, to misquote a long running BBC radio show. At work I tend to listen to more music on a Friday. Done it for a long time. Anyroads I often make surprise discoveries and this afternoon has given me 2.

I am sure some know already but the theme tune for the "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" radio series, TV series and film is a track from the Eagles album "One of these nights", "Journey of the sorcerer". I would never have guessed. Douglas Adams himself picked it apparently.

Even more surprising, to me, is that Sandie Shaw did a cover of "Sympathy for the devil". It is rather good, in my opinion only of course as I am sure some will disagree.

Anyone want to add any other 'little known' facts or surprising covers?

Enjoy and play nice :-)
