Different songs, same title

[dfwmapper]

"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Incubus, Fleetwood Mac, and probably a few dozen others.

[mgk920]

"C'est La Vie" by Bob Seger is a very different song from Shania Twain's rather bubblegum-sounding song of the same name that sounds a lot like "Dancing Queen"!

Robbie Nevil had a hit with a song of that title in 1986, too.

There have been some terrible bands mentioned in this thread. Some of you have awful taste in music. Keep it up because it's good for a bit of a laugh.

Given the intent of this thread, just because particular songs & artists are mentioned here doesn't necessarily mean that the poster(s) like them.  They're just posting either what they know and/or observed.

And Chicago comes close with "Wishing You Were Here".

Another pair:

Would I Lie To You by the Eurythmics (mid 1980s) and Charles & Eddy (early 1990s).

We could say the same about what you listen to.  Different people believe different things to suck.

Another close two:

Dancing In the Dark by Bruce Springsteen (1984) and In the Dark by Dev (2012).  In the latter, the line "dancing in the dark" is repeated several times.

Sara by Starship and Sara by Fleetwood Mac.

[roadman]

"Talking In Your Sleep" by the Romantics and Crystal Gayle.

Also Gordon Lightfoot

[roadman65]

Although not a song, but Eric Clapton has an album with the same name as a song by The Pointer Sisters: Slowhand.

Hey, there's a difference between knowing a ton of music and truly liking it all.  Don't mistake the former for the latter (and still further is the appreciation for terrible music, responsible for most of Bobby Goldsboro's remaining album sales at this point).

[mgk920]

The Wanderer - Dion & the Belmonts (1961) and Donna Summer (1981).

• Olivia Newton-John (1980)
• The Cars (1984)
• Coldplay (2014)

Back On My Feet Again was sung by The Foundations (1968) and The Babys (1979).  There was also the similar When I'm Back On My Feet Again by Michael Bolton (1990).

Yeah but it's funny reading the names of these horrid bands that I had forgotten about.

[bandit957]

It would be funny if someone mentioned Night Ranger.

Don't forget the 1998 earworm and European mega hit by B*Witched. Which was the only one I knew of before this thread (and I've not heard of Robbie Nevil or Bob Seger).

....

Bob Seger is probably best known for "Old Time Rock and Roll" (itself also known as the song to which Tom Cruise's character lip-syncs in Risky Business), "Night Moves," and "Like a Rock" (the latter used in Chevy ads for many years, though I have no idea whether any of said ads ran in Europe....I kind of doubt it).

You've likely heard some of his songs without having heard of the singer.

Someone has proven you wrong.

[hbelkins]

It would be funny if someone mentioned Night Ranger.

They would be a candidate for another music thread if only they had self-titled their debut album instead of calling it Dawn Patrol.

Brad Gillis was Ozzy's tour guitarist for awhile after Randy Rhoads got killed. He's the guitarist on the "Speak of the Devil" live album.

Cherish by Kool and The Gang and Cherish by The Association.

[DandyDan]

"One" by Metallica and U2 are different.

Creed also did "One"

Three Dog Night has a song called One too!  Might be more as 3DN always did cover tunes by other artists including Paul Williams (aka Little Enos on Smokey And The Bandit).
