Default Different Songs with the Same Name

What are some songs that differ from each other but share the same name? And which do you prefer?

I like hearing how bands create songs with the same song title but then take those songs in very different lyrical and musical directions.

For example, today while listening to the song "All Over You" by the band Live, I noticed a song by the same name by The Spill Canvas. I assumed the latter was a cover, but when I listened to it I discovered that it is a completely different song...and one that I prefer:

Live - "All Over You"
The more famous of the two songs, I sometimes have difficulty understanding that guy's slurred words, and I don't really like his odd pronunciation and occasionally whiny, Munchkin-like voice. The song is also very repetitive. I do like the instrumentals very much, though.




The Spill Canvas - "All Over You"
The less famous song, but I prefer it because it feels more emotional to me and I like the singer's voice.
