Same Title, Different Song

[FatStringer52]

How many songs have the exact same title, but are two completely different songs? Only two immediately come to mind for me . . .

Liar
Three Dog Night (1970)
Queen (1973)

Somebody to Love
Jefferson Airplane (1967)
Queen (1976)

Yes, I was listening to Quuen when this came to mind!

 

[NullPorch]

Oh probably tons for songs of similar lyrical themes.

Cocaine
Eric Clapton
FIDLAR
and still others

 

[Michedelic]

“I Need You”....
The Beatles, The Who, America, The Kinks; I’m sure there are others, but that’s what I could think of without looking anything up.

Don’t forget “Liar” from the Rollins Band.

Nice catch! Can't believe I forgot that and I'm a big Henry Rollins fan.

Then there’s this....

 

[FilterFunk]

"Best of My Love" - The Eagles, The Emotions

"You and I" - Stevie Wonder and Rick James, among others

"Ebony Eyes" - Stevie Wonder, Rick James (ft. Smokey Robinson), Bob Welch

 

[Yogi Bear]

“I Need You”....
The Beatles, The Who, America, The Kinks; I’m sure there are others, but that’s what I could think of without looking anything up.

Billy Squier also has a song titled I Need You.

 

[Michedelic]

Billy Squire also has a song titled I Need You.

This one just came to mind; a rare acoustic moment with the Eurythmics playing everybody’s nightmare gig....

I Want You
Bob Dylan
The Beatles
Elvis Costello

I you played jazz standards, the opposite happens- multiple different song names, but the changes are the same.

Geez, there are zillions of these. One-word titles are where it's at. A 30-second look at my music library...

"Alive" Pearl Jam, Daft Punk

"Androgyny" Simple Minds, Garbage

"Angel" Jimi Hendrix, Massive Attack

"Arrival" Daft Punk, Zoe Keating

"Bad" Big Audio Dynamite, U2

"Birthday" The Beatles, The Sugarcubes

"Breathe" The Mission UK, U2

"Burn" The Cure, Nine Inch Nails

"Cascade" Afro Celt Sound System. Peter Murphy

"Changes" David Bowie, Yes

That's 10 and I'm not even through "c" yet.

For many of these, I'm sure there are more artists that go there. I mean, how many bands have a song called "Angel"? Gotta be at least 50...

For "Liar" besides what we have already there's also New Order, the Cranberries, and the Sex Pistols... and probably more.

So if you want to make it interesting, maybe only songs with at least two words in the title (and "the" doesn't count). Like...

"You Don't Know" Berlin, Curve

"4th of July" Soundgarden, U2

Valerie - Amy Winehouse and Steve Winwood

I know, I’m fudging a bit with the different spelling...

Heh, in my music library, the Pink Floyd song is listed as "Breathe in the Air" because that's how it was listed on the original LP.
