Best song with the same title

This might run out of steam quickly but i'll start:

Street Life - Randy Crawford
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnNyxy7XPfs

vs

Street Life - Roxy Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkOYnuCscQc

I'm quite fond of the Randy Crawford song, but never really got a taste for the early Roxy Music stuff.

Here's an obvious one.

The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyoTvgPn0rU

The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_zHQ6kFuQ0 [censored for taste]

The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIiVp3poe2c

Frankie say... No contest

rue the polywhirl

It's obviously the Huey Lewis one. The Frankie one got John Lewis'd and is now rubbish, thrown into the skip along with Keane, Elton John and Elbow.

Ballad of Ballard Berkley

Definitely Huey and his News for me too, that's a cracking song.

This one is quite tricky, I reckon...

Baby, I Love You
by The Ronettes.

Baby, I Love You
by Aretha Franklin.

Dusty Substance



Patsy Cline vs. Seal vs. Gnarls Berkley. All sounds Crazy to me.


NJ Uncut

There She Goes Again by the Velvets

There She Goes by the La's (which goes "There she goes again")

Time After Time - Frank Sinatra

Time After Time - Cindi Lauper

NJ Uncut

"Saturday Night"

Whigfield / Misfits, specifically, but this one's easy

Sorry to be pedantic, but the first Street Life listed here is technically The Crusaders

the midnight watch baboon

Closing Time - Semisonic

Closing Time - Leonard Cohen

only one I can think if.

Jennifer Rush is easily my favourite of these.

But the correct answer is obviously Captain Sensible - The Power of Love

Closing Time - Tom Waits

Twed

Pointer Sisters - Automatic
Prince - Automatic

A rare loss for Prince on this one. And very confusing, as the Pointer Sisters song sounds like something written by Prince.

I Will

Beatles vs Radiohead.

One for the Radio 2 listeners among us.

All I Need - My Bloody Valentine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dil5Eh83n8U

Blimey, the MBV is great, but Air takes this one - Beth Hirsch is a wonderful vocalist.
