I had to dig out my vinyl album to find out who originally put out a song. It felt weird.

Coverees don't add up to 31 for a reason that will become obvious during the countdown.
Six artists appear as both coveree and coverer.

I'm likely to pick two artists covering themselves and not violating the rule about covering your own stuff.
Good times.

My only schitck was limiting both coverer and coveree to one, excluding the last five out.

I'm likely to do this, too. Otherwise, I could end up with 31 Tom Jones songs.

looks like i'm doing the same. 21 on the list as of now and no coverer or coveree used twice. it wasn't the plan but i think it is now.

I’ll be honest, it’s very doubtful I click on individual YouTube links because that’s not really how I listen to music.
I’ll be almost exclusively listening to the playlists unless something catches my curiosity. It’s just too awkward to click on a link wait for the commercial, listen, and then click on another link…

About to submit. No theme to mine, just a list of my favorites. Most are either covers I've loved over the years or covers of original songs I've loved over the years that I recently discovered.
- Hope you like 80s music. 50% of my list is either a song that was covered in the 80s or is an 80s song covered more recently.
- The most times a cover artist repeats is 2, and this happens 3 times on my list.
- The most covered band is covered 4 times.
- 3 songs that I learned were covers as part of this exercise.
I have a list of songs I really want to include but they are youtube only so maybe half of you will hear it at best. I'll just have them be in my first 5 out.

One of my lists has 31 covers by 31 different artists covering one artist. 14 with a female vocal
The other is just my fave covers, with 10 female vocals. Only one artist appears as coverer and coveree. Only one artist has more than one song covered

No repeats for me. One thing I learned about myself is that I really love gender-swapped covers - 18.5 (thanks to a duet) of my 31 choices fit that bill. I worked solely off the mega-playlist I've had going for year and, knowing there was no way I could pick 31 favorites, broke them down into five categories:
Favorite covers of favorite songs - 11, half of the originals were selected in another MAD countdown
Goth/Industrial covers - 5, all mainstays at goth nights for a decade
Fun takes - 5, self-explanatory
Covers of Songs Heard Repeatedly in My Dad's Old Pickup Truck - 5, hope some of you love classic country & western as much as I do
Wildcard - 5 covers that I just couldn't leave off

22 lists in! There's a handy-dandy indicator in post #3 of whether I have your list. Please check and let me know if I missed anyone, or if I marked you as complete and got that wrong, which is totally possible right now, too.
One clarification: as in other M-aD countdowns, I'll post the Last Five Outs just before starting the official countdown, so please send to me if you want to include any. Probably 90% of initial submissions have not included, and then when I follow up ~50% of people say, "Was I supposed to send those to you?" Yes! Please do. Of course, they are not required.
Another SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT about this will be posted below.

SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME OPPORTUNITY!!!!!11111
Guys and gals. I continue to worry about my schedule (only because I start work around 5:30 a.m. and end around 9-10 p.m. every day including weekends, and by the way **** that ****). Given that I could be delayed in getting the SUPER-AWESOME-MEGA-CONTEST!!!111 going, which means I would delay beginning the countdown itself, and to give myself some wiggle room on all of it, next week might be dedicated to some discussion of Last Five Outs*.
As usual I’ll post the submissions I’ve received, but I also wanted to give everyone an opportunity to participate in this SPECIAL, LIMITED-TIME OFFER!
Did you struggle with narrowing your list or your Last Five Out because this exercise is ****ing impossible? Did you do some “theme” on your list that made Last Five Outs well-nigh impossible? Are you just a person who likes to send me more PMs?
Well I have something for you!
As I’ve tried to put together my own list, I realized I had many that wouldn’t make the cut but that could be grouped together into a cute little Last Five Out of their own. So as we await the actual countdown, I’ll also post these to keep the discussion going. And you are invited to submit your own!
My supplemental Last Five Outs** include five versions of the same song, five songs by a particular artist, five songs covering a particular artist, five covers not found on Spotify, and more! Anything that you can put into a cohesive group of five will be accepted and posted, with the following caveat:
For avoidance of spoilers, your list cannot contain anything listed on anyone else’s top 31 or their official Last Five Out. How will you know? Why simple, you’ll run it by me and I’ll give you the
or 
.
CALL NOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LIMITED-TIME OFFER!! OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY! DIAL 1-888-COVERME! THAT’S 1-800-COVERME! CALL NOW!! AGAIN THAT’S 1-866-COVERME!
AND IF YOU CALL IN THE NEXT 27 SECONDS, WE’LL INCLUDE THIS LIMITED-EDITION SPECIAL GIFT AT NO COST TO YOU.***
QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED SO CALL NOW!!
*This never looks right, but I can’t come up with a better alternative. Lasts Five Out doesn’t work. Last Five Out’s is an abuse of an innocent apostrophe. @rockaction?
**Still bothering me.
***Not valid in Guam or other places I can't locate on a map.

I was encouraged by his seemingly working on it over the weekend, but that was misplaced. I do think he had 10-12 on a list, though.
Oh, and he had two that I also have and that I think no one else in the countdown will list. We'll see which of us "owns" those songs.

LOL. I'd ask Pip. Barring that, I'd go with Last Five Outs. It's a plural. It looks wrong and it might—at first glance—look better with an apostrophe, but deep down we know that the plural is right.
"How right?"
"Far right!"
Just a little Goldwater humor there for ya.

Last Five Outs. No apostrophe as it’s not possessive.
The only plausible alternative would be Last Fives Out, which sounds even weirder.

My last five out has one absolute chalk entry and maybe one semi-chalk, but the rest have original artists I'm not so sure are popular here.
I made this post as an excuse to post another joke.
Why did Donald Trump ban shredded cheese?
He wanted to make America grate again.

Sorry. In case anyone is shuked, the post last night is an invitation to send more than one Last Five Out. The standard Last Five Out is open to everyone and can include anything, whether or not it's on someone else's list. The Special Offer Last Five Outs can't be spoilers and can just be anything you want, not really a Last Five Out but based on whatever theme you desire. I gave examples.

Didn't include this in my 31 or last 5 out because it's not technically a cover. It's a reimagining of an old English folk tale, just like the Traffic song John Barleycorn.
