You mean the Harry Chapin original......and yes, that's the one I was talking about, since that is the original, and not another cover.

Definately a classic.

I didn't like Metallica's version of Turn the Page, though. I like Bob Seger, and maybe just thought the song was one of those that just shouldn't have been touched. :shrug:

That is what happens when Jimmy Page plays on your song. :lol: I always laguhed everytime the Wonder Years came on tv - Jimmy Page got a royalty. LOL.

BTW, the original "mama im coming home" sucks too. I hate ozzy ballads. :puke:

Another worst: Limp Bizkit desecrating The Who's Behind Blue Eyes.

Quote:

"Cats in the Cradle," is a 1974 folk rock song by Harry Chapin from the album Verities & Balderdash.

The song became the best known of Harry's work and a staple for folk rock music. Many people mistakenly believe the song to be the work of artist Cat Stevens, and a mistitled MP3 version is widely circulated on the internet. Jack Black contributed to this confusion, playing part of the song in a Saturday Night Live sketch where Black's character claimed the song was by Yusuf Islam, a.k.a. Cat Stevens. There are no known, verifiable recordings of Cat Stevens performing the song however, and a Cat Stevens fan web site assures readers that Stevens has never performed the song, "not live, not in the studio, and not even privately." Stevens did perform a song about a father and son, but that was far different as the son was unsure of his future and the father is a more self-confident man assuring his son not to worry. Another misconception is that due to the tempo and lyrics, some have assumed it to have an upbeat message, which in the final verse is clear the song does not have a happy ending.
Quote:

The Ugly Kid Joe cover of the song is often mistaken for a Guns N' Roses or a Skid Row cover of the song. Neither band has ever recorded this song and it has often been mislabeled as such on Limewire and other downloading programs. This version peaked at #7 on the UK singles chart.
