It's Asperger's Syndrome, most likely.

One song that seems to result in a popular cover every decade is
"Train Kept a-Rollin'," originally by Tiny Bradshaw, then by Johnny
Burnette, the Yardbirds, Led Zepplin and Aerosmith, among others. I
don't know if there is another rock-era tune with so many well-known
covers.
