I know nothing about the works Dearest Darling and Dearest ..., but I'm wondering if one should be treated as a derivative/adaption of the other.


What brought this to my attention are the covers Ummm, Oh Yeah and Umm Oh Yeah .... I noticed the overlapping writing credits and thought of Love Is Strange ....


Since this is more of an educated guess than from listening experience, didn't want to post an error report....

I listened to both songs, and even though the average Bo Diddley song tends to resemble other average Bo Diddley songs, these two are not really similar.

I think you're onto something, in that these two are identical, and are covers of Dearest, so Ummm, Oh Yeah is listed under the wrong song (and a duplicate to boot).

Should be okay now, and deleted duplicate. Thanks both.
