When an artist 'owns' a song...

...a post down below about Patricia Barber's version of "Norwegian Wood", one of my favorite Beatles' songs, inspired me to post this.

I'm rethinking whether any artists really 'own' a song and whether a different artist can do just as memorable a version of it.

You may have already seen this, but it's an amazing version of another of my favorite Beatles' songs, 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Listen to the whole thing.

Are there any songs an artist actually 'owns' in your consciousness and that can't be reinterpreted by someone else?
