I still count any that use Joni's lyric for obvious reasons. As for "You're So Square"...the first time I heard the song was Joni's WTRF version. I knew that she didn't write it, but like "Twisted", it became a 'Joni' song to me. Same thing with "How Do You Stop". Funny thing though, there are a couple of "You're So Square" covers that use her "toot and talk" line as opposed to the original lyric, so in essence they are TRULY covers of the Joni version. By the same token, I was very familiar with Frankie Lymon's version of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" so I'd never consider any recording of that one in the list.

Unless its a cover using Joni's lyrics to pork pie, obviously that would count - but there's got to be dozens of covers of both of those that predate Joni doing them. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #313 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
