What's The Connection? Because 1

No reason for this connection. I made it Because. So stupid. Seriously, I was thinking of the Beatles and Dave Clark Five and Patti Smith covering Bruce Springsteen. Not that they go together or anything, but because they all were cool songs I liked. I started looking for more songs and found a ton. I'm sure there is enough to do multiple volumes, but these are the ones I picked. It goes all over the place, but surprisingly still sounds kinda good. I will compile more as I feel like it.

    1. Is the Davy Jones the same song as the Stones? Or is one an answer song?

    2. I see I dropped my comment on the wrong one, because I had opened both, not to get doubles.
      The "Maybe it's because etc" is a typical british pub song. I did not know the orchestrated version, I thought first, that it would be the Stones, but sounds more like Andrew Oldham Orchestra. The Davy Jones is a single from around that time. And i thought I had that Naffi Sandwhich somewhere, but I cannot find it to check if it is more than aparody on the name.

      When someone has a Dutch connection, and let's say knows a parent who still understands Dutch very well, here is a token of love (because=omdat)
