My Place: Same Melody, Different Song Part Two

Vermont Public | By Joel Najman

This week, Joel Najman's "My Place" explores favorite songs from listeners that have the same melody but different lyrics.

This week, Joel Najman's My Place program presents a continuation of the previous week's theme of pairing songs using the same melody but with different lyrics.

In contemporary popular music over the years, there have been many instances in which a familiar melody has been recycled in the creation of a new and different song. A number of the examples presented this week are suggestions submitted by My Place listeners.
