Same name, different song?

[Liam]

Just a curio more than anything, but I was trying to work out the song title that is used the most without the songs actually being the same (i.e. not a cover version, a completely different song).

Off the top of my head, both "Open Your Eyes" (Guano Apes, Staind and Stream Of Passion) and "The Power Of Love" (Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Jennifer Rush and Huey Lewis & The News) have three, but I'm sure there are better examples.

Open Your Eyes is also a Goldfinger song, as it also is an Alterbridge song... a Sum 41 song... a Staind song... and a NOFX song.

"Crush" was also a song by a singer named Jennifer Page whose career apparently went nowhere, as I can't recall ever hearing anything else by her.

"Gone" is also a Montgomery Gentry song.

Not sure on how many (I assume multiple), but I'm pretty sure the name "Dreams" is the only name in which two separate songs with the same title were in the charts at the same time (and I'm sure it's been done by a few people in addition)...

[The Dork Knight]

Breakdown: Guns N' Roses/Jack Johnson/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers/Agent Orange

I imagine there are more for that song title.

As a mildly-related aside, I do believe that the 3 "Power Of Loves" I mentioned also went to number 1 either here or in the US in about a 2 year span.

[Skummy]

I think, at one point, the three "Power Of Love"s were all in the charts at the same time, actually

[Lowerdeck]

I think half of Juvenile's albums have a song called "My Life", none of which are remixes or anything resembling the others.
