9 Songs So Good You Didn't Know They Were Covers

7. Naked Eyes - (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me (Originally By Dionne Warwick)

One of the quintessential synth pop tunes of the 80s, (There's) Always Something There to Remind Me sounds like it was birthed directly from the loins of Duran Duran, then adopted by Naked Eyes to be raised in a safer environment. But this prime example of new wave's softer side was actually passed down from one of the greatest soul songstresses in history.

Written by Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick's original demo featured nary a single keyboard or synthesizer. Just a few brass instruments and complete vocal domination.
