Music Banter - View Single Post - 50s and 60s Same band, basically same song

Wasn't 100% sure if this would be the place to post this, but I joined here just to ask this question as I cannot find much info after several internet searches. My mother and I have heard a handful of 50s and 60s songs by artists in which usually a well-known song has another song with almost the same musical arrangement and sometimes even some of the same lyrics. We've been casually searching songs that may fit this discription and would love to know if anyone out there knows of any other good ones. Here is what we have compiled thus far:
Tony Orlando, Dawn - Knock Three Times & Candida
The Isley Brothers - It's Your Thing & Pop That Thang
The Drifters - Under the Boardwalk & Sand in My Shoes
Steam - Na Na Hey Kiss Him Goodbye & Love and Affection
Marvin Gaye- i Heard It Through the Grapevine & That's the Way Love Is
The McCoys - Hang On Sloopy & Fever
Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go & Schooldays

Thanks for looking!
