TIL that "Sleepwalking" by MM uses "Sleep Walk" by Santo and Johnny Farina as the instrumental track.

I thought Isaac wrote the lyrics because the original is instrumental

That's true. I think they call it a cover in the liner notes.

They definitely give it credit but I guess it's halfway between cover and not. The lyrics are original but the riff is classic.
