Once Bitten Twice Shy [Great White / Ian Hunter] UnCovered

You can’t be blamed for not realizing the Great White song “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” was a cover song. The whole shark theme, the hair metal lyrics, the fact you weren’t born when the song came out. So here’s the original UnCovered version by Ian hunter.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy [Deep Cover]

In my line of work (and by work, I mean sporadic hobby of blogging about covers) there's simply nothing more embarrassing than having someone go "Do you know who did the original of this?" and not even being aware it was a cover. Mortifying!

Despite my embarrassment, here's a cover made famous by Great White. The original by Ian Hunter. Never heard of him? He also wrote the song "Cleveland Rocks" made famous by the Drew Carey Show. Yes, that's his claim to fame, and I'm not sure he actually claims it to be honest with you. I mean obviously he wasn't talking about the local sports teams. BaZing!
