A specific form of Older Than They Think where the cover version of a song becomes so iconic that people forget it was a cover at all. The cover becomes the definitive version of the song. To a certain extent, this is generational -- if you hear a song before the cover is even recorded, you're less likely to be confused. (It doesn't count if the new version is in a different language.) This can be a Berserk Button for fans of the original artist. Examples of Covered Up include:

This can be a Berserk Button for fans of the original artist. Nowadays, "covers" are used to describe any band performing a not-originally-written song. However, when bands writing all their own songs was a less common practice, covering referred specifically to doing a version of a song in a style similar to that of another artist. Related to the Weird Al Effect. Somewhat related is Breakaway Pop Hit, where an iconic song (or cover) composed specifically for a film overshadows its film. Compare Sampled Up, and contrast with First and Foremost. See also Adaptation Displacement, Revival by Commercialization and Misattributed Song. Examples of Covered Up include: When adding examples, please keep in mind that Alice simply having covered Bob's song isn't this trope. Examples should be added to the main list sorted by song name, but for ease of reference there are also two lists sorted by musician name. If Alice has covered a lot of songs, add examples of this to the "by covering musician" list. If Bob has been covered a lot, add examples to the "by covered musician" list. Finally, make sure the song isn't already on the list somewhere. And one final note: Fan Myopia runs quite high when it comes to music, so please avoid the "quick, what band do you think of when you hear X?" cockiness, because chances are not everyone will have the same answer as you.
