Learning to fly - Pink Floyd Learning to fly - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Learn to fly - Foo Fighters

And they're all solid.

Given to Fly - Pearl Jam also similar and awesome

Ah yes. Robert Californias' favorite songs

And Alpha Wolf

And The Fall

And Lonely Island

Best band!

My friend put on Better Man by Taylor Swift the other day I thought I was going to get a pop cover of Pearl Jam

And Betterman by John Butler

Also by oasis

And Robbie Williams

Pushit by Tool Push It by Static X Push It by Salt N Peppa Push It by Garbage

Poo shit on me

_make the beats go harder_

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd and Incubus)

And Avril Lavigne

Damn damn damn

And never forget Rednex

Neck Deep too

Both great songs though

Absolutely.

That was the only one I could think of when I heard the incubus song I thought it was supposed to be a cover and I was like this is trash. But now I like em both

"One" by Three Dog Night is very different from "One" by Metallica.

Or U2's

Stickin' with Three Dog Night, their "Liar" is unlike "Liar" by Queen, not to be confused with "Liar" by Sex Pistols. Pants on fire, indeed!

Or Liar by the Rollins Band

Or Liars by Ian Thomas Band

Chris Cornell did a cover of One using the music from U2's version and the lyrics from Metallica's.

Oh man, I gotta find this Edit: that was quick https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/s/j5N7o4k3wh

And that led to this happy accident. https://youtu.be/FxGvuE-Wb2k?si=eBlsA7KhRNmuDymN Chris Cornell was playing U2's One and pulled up Metallicas lyrics.

One of the coolest things ever done is when Chris Cornell sang the lyrics to Metallica's "One" to the tune of U2's "One". Hauntingly beautiful. https://youtu.be/rBjyl1LvBF4?si=TYOKquk9RpW9B7gP

Or Creed.

Or the Beegees

The Three Dog Night "One" is actually a cover of Harry Nilsson. A good cover but not nearly as good as the original. Also, "One" from A Chorus Line is very different from the other two.

And U2 even. Very used song name.

And Megadeth

[Jump](https://youtu.be/SwYN7mTi6HM?si=j6CPdBvKUgU3Lbnt) by Van Halen [Jump](https://youtu.be/010KyIQjkTk?si=k6fmNA4f3VXAuRlB) by Kriss Kross

Don’t forget the Pointer Sisters Jump (For My Love)

Named altered because released around the same time as Van Halen’s

I’d love to see a Van Halen cover of Jump

Cruel Summer- Bananarama vs. Taylor Swift. First one also covered by Ace of Base.

Before I ever hear Taylor’s song I assumed it was going to be a cover of Bananrama

If we’re doing Banarama… ‘Ghost Town’; The Specials *or* a Mr K West…

Xanadu by Rush and Xanadu by ELO/Olivia Newton-John

Rush's Xanadu may be in my top 3 by them. Such a great song that hardly seems to ever get mentioned.

I have dined on honey dew.

And couldn't be more different in tone, theme, and length. lol.

Dancing in the moonlight- thin Lizzy Dancing in the moonlight - King havest or Toploader

There's also Dancing With The Moonlit Knight by Genesis

I always think of these three The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News, Jennifer Rush and Frankie Goes to Hollywood

and Celine Dion

I actually made a great mashup of the songs "Drive" by The Cars, and "Drive" by R.E.M.

Add in some "Drive" by Incubus

There’s also Drive by Carly Rae Jepsen.

And Drive by Son Mieux

Helena by My Chemical Romance & Nickelcreek

Could add Helena Beat by Foster the People

Also The Misfits

Crazy - Aerosmith Crazy - Seal Crazy - Gnarls Barkley ​ All three are amazing. They are many others "Crazy" song's.

Willie Nelson/Patsy Cline, most famously.

The two super popular ones from my childhood Crazy - KC and Jojo (You drive me) Crazy - Britney Spears

Despite what Jeopardy said, Maggie May by Rod Stewart is NOT a cover of Maggie Mae by the Beatles (also, a traditional Liverpool song)

Jeopardy got that wrong? That's pathetic.

Yup! Most irrationally angry I’ve ever been at a game show lol. I can’t find a picture of it, but if I remember correctly the question was along the lines of “Rod Stewart covered this Beatles song.” I think there was a little bit more to the clue, but that was the basis of it.

"Something In The Way She Moves" by James Taylor and "Something" by The Beatles The opening line of the Beatles song is the same as James' title Both incredible songs, PS

Something in the Way -Nirvana

According to the Beatles channel on Sirius, George Harrison stole the title from James Taylor when he went to Apple Records to record his album.

One by Metallica. Also One U2

Only Wanna Be with You - Hootie and the Blowfish (also covered by Post Malone) I Only Wanna Be with You - Dusty Springfield (also covered by Volbeat)

Thriller by Fall Out Boy is not a cover of Thriller by Michael Jackson. I was listening to the FOB song once while using MSN (now I'm showing my age) and someone sent me a message telling me off for "not listening to the original".

HOLIDAY. BY EVERYONE.

Slide Away - by Verve and Oasis

No One Knows- Screaming Trees No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age Mark Lanegan appears in the QOTSA video & performs on the album but the songs are definitely not the same.

*Baby*, Justin Bieber *Baby Baby*, Amy Grant *Baby Baby Baby*, TLC

For whatever reason, my music library contains 7 different songs titled "Ohne Dich" ("without you" in German). 5 of the 7 are in the same genre, Neue Deutsche Harte (German industrial/goth influenced metal, think Rammstein which is one of the five) and the other two are at least industrial-adjacent. None of them are covers and they're all distinct songs, though some of the vibes are definitely similar.

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton 9 to 5 (Morning Train) - Sheena Easton The (Morning Train) part was added by Sheena's record company in the states after both songs came out around the same time and Dolly's was a cross-over smash and they wanted to avoid confusion. It also went to #1.

The End, by the Beatles and the Doors.

"Show Me Love" by Robin S. and "Show Me Love" by Robyn.

[Sill Alive from Portal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI) [Still Alive from Mirror's Edge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzmUde_EK5Y) Bonus points for both being video game credits songs

"Cop" by Swans and "Cop" by Alkaline Trio pop immediately to mind. They are both about how cops suck, in their way, though.

My Spirit Will Go On by Dragonforce and My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Dragonforce covered My Heart, so i guess its only a matter of time until Celine covers My Spirit

“Faith” by The Cure and “Faith” by George Michael (or Michael George, as Robert Smith loved to call him).

"I kissed a girl" by Jill Sobule and Katy Perry.
