I had a similar foray into this earlier in the year when that "on my knees and I'm begging yooooooo" song started appearing in every meme... found what I was after and also found it was original Frankie Vallie. good old google, having spied on what I was doing then started suggesting vids where some bald guy played excerpts of the cover(s) all the way back to their original.

The one that really blew my gourd was one that showed the main riff/melody/theme from Gnarles Barkley "Crazy" was actually from a spaghetti western with Terrence hill
