Needs Help: Covered Up

This image◊ was downvoted in the Image Suggestions thread. Any ideas?

If it should be noted, this was the caption I suggested alongside the image:

back lol

I thought the combo was decent.

Visually it kind of sucks because the numbers are small, and reiterating them in the caption comes across as redundant. Would prefer a visual representation of popularity like the current on One-Hit Wonder at least.

It doesn't look terrible on wikisize, so I think it's acceptable.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Edit: Also, I'd like to suggest adding a Red Link to Music.Gary Jules to the caption, since red links are acceptable for works and creators.

Edit from not that long after the previous one: I looked Gary Jules up on Wikipedia and even they say he's best known for the song that Tears for Fears covered, so I'd imagine this is a pretty good example to go with if Wikipedia also accepted it.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

Clock is set.

That the cover is uploaded 15 years ago while the original is uploaded 7 years ago threw me off tbh. You'd figure the original would be uploaded first.

One's an official Vevo upload, the other is just a random user. Both songs are older than You Tube regardless.

The cover was uploaded by some random user rather than the artist themselves, which is why it was uploaded earlier.

Any more thoughts?

back lol

I'm even less convinced now that the ages have been pointed out, to be honest. It's a confounding factor: the cover had 8 more years to accumulate all those views.

I believe the most well-known example of this is Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower (original) getting covered by Jimi Hendrix (cover). To that end, I found these on google:

• [1]◊
• [2]◊

And took this screenshot when looking for the songs on youtube:

Link appears to be broken...

Reclocked this one. I can't read the text in , at least on my laptop.

This one's going nowhere; locking up.
