Different songs, same title

[hm insulators]

Magic was sung by:

• Pilot (1974)
• 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).

If we're including album cuts, a group called Vandenburg (of "Burnin" heart" fame in 1982) did a song called "Back on My Feet," and Rainbow did a song called "Magic."

Just this morning I heard "Love Bites" by Def Leppard on the way to work. While on lunch I heard "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm. Not exact same title, but close enough.

Judas Priest also did a song called "Love Bites."

"Tunnel of Love", by the Dire Straits in 1980, and by Springsteen in 1987.

I can't remember the artist, but the guy who sang "Magnet and Steel" had a b-side of the same 45 that was Tunnel of Love.

Fellow by the name of Walter Egan did that song in 1978.

The Priest song is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the Def Leppard song.

Def Leppard has a song called "High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)"
Radiohead has a song called "High And Dry"

What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye and 4 Non-Blondes

Hot Summer Nights by a group called "Night" and later covered by Water Egan.  The Miami Sound Machine has a different song with that title, and there seem to be others.  In singular form, it's the parenthetical title of Meatloaf's You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth.

The second-best Survivor song from a Rocky movie ever!

"Baby Driver." Done by Simon & Garfunkel; an entirely different song done by Kiss (Peter Criss on vocals).

^ Now that's a weird title for multiple bands to have used.

Ok, what title is the winner for having the most different songs?

I'd nominate "Crush"
1. Selena Gomez

3. Mandy Moore
4. Dave Matthews
5. David Archeletta

I Love You, with 41 songs (from Wikipedia disambiguation page)

[roadman65]

California Girls by the Beach Boys, and California Gurls by Katy Perry.

Not spelled the same though, but it is pronounced the same.

[Pink Jazz]

There are two different smooth jazz songs known as East River Drive.  The older of the two was by the late saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. in 1980.  In the 1990s there was a completely different song with the same title by bassist Stanley Clarke.  Interestingly, both songs are played on SiriusXM's Watercolors.

[froggie]

Surprised nobody's mentioned "Learning to Fly" yet.  Very different songs by Ping Floyd and Tom Petty.

[roadman65]

Time is both two completely different songs by Alan Parsons and Pink Floyd. 

What is really interesting is that Parsons produced the album that Pink Floyd's song appears on.

Games People Play

• Joe South (1968)
• The Spinners (1975)
• The Alan Parsons Project (1980)

Although Pat Boone's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a remake of the Alice Cooper original, I would argue it's not really the same song...

[roadman65]

Believe is a song by Cher and a song from the Polar Express Movie Soundtrack sung by Josh Groban.

[national highway 1]

Don't Stop The Party by The Black Eyed Peas and also by Pitbull

What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye and 4 Non-Blondes

The song by 4 Non Blondes is actually called What's Up?

[vtk]

I was going to correct the 4 Non Blondes title, but JP beat me to it.

Although Pat Boone's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a remake of the Alice Cooper original, I would argue it's not really the same song...

Sure you don't have that backwards?



It's My Life, by Talk Talk and later by No Doubt is a different song from It's My Life by Bon Jovi. And they're both different from My Life by Billy Joel.
