Cover versions

Unsure if anyone's interested in doing a section of various bands who've covered this, but there's apparently a new electronica styled cover of this in a Pontiac ad now. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArjB3yxYoR0pYPl.v6zyNyCx.Bd.;_ylv=3?qid=20070930133726AAOShir&qid_list=RsQuXTK1UjBVxYwfonjTa3y59zAgeFAwPchB8LYczdIalwgAGTIDYZD8a0TrXI9Bkw66NlpE.5hFy1NkVFgwGCThfbJdHEGILbl90ROdeDLKin3Y8wpVmpQSFuM-&nqstate=q&offset=40&nqcat=2115500209 GBrady 20:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peruvian band We All Together didn't do a cover of "Come and Get It". In its first album, that band recorded versions od two Badfinger originals: "Carry On Till Tomorrow" and "Walking In the Rain". 201.230.41.161 (talk) 19:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- You are right. Despite your comment, the article stated that wrong claim until today. I already removed it. AP 190.43.14.214 (talk) 23:08, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this get Lennon/McCartney credit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.93.233 (talk) 02:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought so, but evidently no. The credit was to McCartney alone. — John Cardinal (talk) 02:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anything to do with this song in any way, even just because it is the same year? Thanks!

One other detail for the section on the Beatles demo

This section is great but needs to add a very nice difference in the Badfinger version: the coda, with a downward chromatic choral figure in the final section that sounds like something from the Beatles' psychedelic phase. Kevintimba (talk) 19:03, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
