People are constantly referring to the Benatar version of WH, and saying
that they saw that it was credited Bush and got curious. But Benatar's
records are full of covers. Some of the records are nearly all covers.
Did you track down the originals of the other covers as well?

I also listened alot to Benatar before I got into Bush, but actually, I 
never realized that WH was a cover until several years later. It was 
when I listened to some old Benatar record again, after getting into 
Kate, that I discovered it: "Hey! This is a Kate-song". I found out 
that way, not by saying "Hey! This is a Benatar-song" despite the fact
that I heard the Benatar version years befor the Bush version.
