okay, so for my music class, i have to do a listening presentation. i have to compare two different versions of the same song--for example, a cover and an original, or two different covers--and write out the form, instrumentation, etc. and i would prefer to have two that sound really different. i'm not supposed to download the music, but oh well. i'm just looking for suggestions, ideas. i may be willing to buy cds. oh yeah, i also have to do another one in my guitar class, so that's 4 songs.

If you need something really different, try Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and The Bad Plus.

Baby One More Time by Britney Spears and Fountains of Wayne (if you wanted to demonstrate how a really bad song can become quite good when done by someone with some talent).

You say 2 different "versions" do they need to be covers? If they can be remixes, check out Verve Remixed and Verve Unmixed volumes 1-3. I would especially recommend Nina Simone's Sinnerman. Motown Remixed and Motown Unmixed is a similar series, but there's only one volume. The best remix on there (IMO) is ABC by the Jackson 5.

Oh, Sinnerman is on Volume 2 of Verve Remixed/Unmixedif you wanted to do that.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit

They're *very* different but I love them both. I have the Tori Amos file if you want to use that.

I like to Tori version as well, and it is different, but not AS different as the Bad Plus version. TBP does it in a jazz style with piano, bass, and drums (all acoustic) and no vocals.
