If the song is over 20 years old, a kid most likely has never heard it and thinks it's yours
The above is House Of 1,000 Pleasures from the band E-Z-O. It's from their debut album, and you probably never heard of it until you heard it here. How did I find out about it? A friend of mine let me borrow an audiocassette of it back when it was new in 1992. And where did he get it from? No idea, I never asked. Probably some other kid my friend knew.
Something a lot of bands do is that if they want to sound original without having to write any music, they simply cover songs that are at least 20 years old...
...but not just any kind of songs.

There is a whole lot of wow to this Les Paul.
Is this a classic, or is it tacky? Let's talk about that.
