Spider got to "Better Be Good to Me" first. The New York City band recorded and released it in 1981, three years before Tina Turner took the song onto her album Private Dancer, and they had a head start: Holly Knight, one of Spider's own members, wrote it with Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. Whatever came later, this is where the song started.
