18/23. Accidentally clicked the wrong answer for Stayin' Alive, and had no idea that Step By Step, Superstar, RESPECT, and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun were covers.

18/23.

Didn't realise the Cyndi Lauper song was a cover.

I've never heard the original of Girls Just Wanna have Fun
but I know a guy wrote it and recorded it first and was sung from a guy's perspective
think Cyndi Lauper changed it quite a lot to fit in her style

21/23

I got Blondie wrong and then one which I can't remember.

The original version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Richard Hazard instead of being a feminist anthem becomes a hymn to cheating nymphomaniacs as shown on the
middle 8 that was left out Cyndi Lauper's version:

I know your love for him
Is deep as day is long
I know you'd never be the
Thing to do him wrong
But when I knock on the door
I'm close now, you could come
It really wasn't important
'Cause girls just wanna have fun
Yeah, girls just wanna have fun

21/23: There were two that I knew weren't written by the performers but wasn't aware of the original recordings of.

Coincidentally, I was (and still am) listening to the original of one of the songs in the quiz! I got that right, obviously.

I got the first 10 correct but ended up with 16/23. There's quite a few that I never knew were covers.
