Cover?...huh?
How come on YouTube when people play and sing along to acoustic versions of a song with the guitar, the word "cover" is almost always in the title? What does this mean?

When people say its a "cover" of a song, it means that they didn't actually write the song. :]

it means that they didn't write the song,
another band did
and they're just performing it.

A cover is basically a sign of respect, to some extent. It's just saying that the band/singer did not write the song, and they are performing another band/singers song.
To Daimeera - Hurt is actually a cover by Johnny Cash, Hurt is orginally performed by Nine Inch Nails.

cover means one band performs another band's song. it's like if i decided to play an elvis presley song. i'm not elvis, but it's still his song, so it's called a cover. local garage bands usually do covers of like green day songs or whatever.

Yup
One popular cover is "Landslide"
Stevie Nicks original song and the Dixie Chicks sang it & recorded it. So they did a Landslide cover.

Covers are when it's not the original version of the song. i.e. Van Halen re-doing a song by the Kinks [the title escapes me, it was something like You Really Got Me?], or the Ataris re-doing Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer"
It basically tips you off in advance that it's not the original version of the song.

A cover basically means a version of someone else's song. So, if you sing "Hurt," for example, you're covering a song by Johnny Cash.
