Lust for Life - Iggy Pop (1977)

Lust for Life - Lana Del Rey (2017)

I only discovered this when searching for the lyrics to Iggy Pop's song and this other one turned up.  No idea who Lana Del Ray is, but I hate that breathy, silly women's voice common in today's pop music.  So it's Iggy Pop for the win.

I think for this topic, all you have to do is go to the iTunes store and put in a song title and wham.  You have everyone that's every recorded a song with that title.

Last week, Entertainment Tonight ended one episode with a story about how Lana Del Rey was seen working behind the counter at a diner in Alabama.  I thought they would say it was for some project or something, or for fun (because that's what usually happens in these type of stories on the show), but they just said that they didn't know why she was there but that she was nice to everyone.  Then the episode ended.  That was weird even compared to the usual end-of-show stories.

Creepin' - Stevie Wonder

Creepin' - Metro Boomin', The Weeknd & 21 Savage (and it seems like there's a version with even more people than that)

Hey Mama, Climax Blues Band (1971) - This is the one I know

Hey Mama, Black Eyed Peas (2004)

Hey Mama, Kanye West (2005) 🤮

Hey Mama, David Guetta (2015)

Here's that 1971 Climax Blues Band album cover.  In those days, you had to buy the whole album to get one song, and I did!

I especially enjoyed the puking emoji next to Kanye!  😄

I was trying to quote the listings for the song "Always," but the quote feature wasn't working very well (left me with blank boxes).  Anyway, I am adding a new "Always" song by Daniel Caesar and Summer Walker.

Memory Lane - Minnie Riperton

Memory Lane - Xscape

23 - Blonde Redhead

23 - Chayce Beckham

Up - Shania Twain

Up - Erica Falls

(I don't know who a couple of those people are, but their songs came up when I was going through some music channels.)

I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz

I Won't Give Up - Kelly Clarkson

(I thought she was going to sing the first one when it was listed for her talk show season premiere, but it was actually some new song from the deluxe version of her latest album.)

Added another and note.

Friday's episode of Jeopardy! contained a category "Same Title, Different Lyrics".  I'll post the clues here, and then the correct responses after, so anyone who records J! but hasn't yet watched can stop reading before being spoiled:

$400: Adele & Lionel Richie were greeted with No. 1 hits that had this title

$800: This 1956 Elvis Presley title "found a new place to dwell" with Whitney Houston; different lyrics, of course

$1200: In very different musical styles, The Beatles & The Chainsmokers implored, "Don't" do this

$1600: In very different musical styles, The Animals, ELO & Sia implored, "Don't" do this

$2000: In 1980 this country star had a crossover No. 1 hit with "Lady", a feat not achieved by Styx with the same-titled song

Correct responses:

$400: "Hello"
$800: "Heartbreak Hotel" (none of the contestants got this, which really surprised me)
$1200: let me down (this is the only one in the category I didn't get)
$1600: bring me down (none of the contestants got it)
$2000: Kenny Rogers

Nobody - Keith Sweat

Nobody - Kem

The Boy Is Mine - Brandy & Monica

The Boy Is Mine - Ariana Grande

(Although Ariana's actually has the title in the "no caps" format that everyone seems to like to use nowadays.)

ETA:  I saw an interview with Monica, and apparently Ariana's version incorporates part of the Brandy/Monica song, though it's not a cover.  I couldn't hear the similarities; I just thought it was a new song.

Note about Ariana's version.

Rumour Has It - Donna Summer

Rumour Has It - Adele

Unconditional Love - Donna Summer feat. Musical Youth

Unconditional Love - Hi-Five

Supernatural Love - Donna Summer

Supernatural Love - Fantasia feat. Big K.R.I.T.

(I was listening to Donna Summer's anthology the other day.)

Also:

All I Ever Wanted - Kelly Clarkson

All I Ever Wanted - Dean Lewis

(because they always play the latter on Soft Rock if I'm taking a nap)
