Line 159:
* [[Wings (band)|Paul McCartney]] has done this repeatedly from [[The Seventies]] on. His album ''Wingspan'' has two different mixes of "No More Lonely Nights" on it, and he once released a classical album in which half the pieces were reworkings of lesser-known songs of his. Then there are the concert versions of "Maybe I'm Amazed" (which is usually as good as the original), "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"—though he probably borrowed that one from [[Jimi Hendrix]]—and the "Carry That Weight (You Never Give Me Your Money)" mix. (Two [[The Beatles|Beatlesongs]] he wrote most of, with one major melody in common...)
* Miyuki Nakajima redoes her songs for her ''Yakai'' stage shows, sometimes even completely and ''literally'' rearranging them, as with the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADwr63E9r4Y&feature=related Kodoku no Shouzo]." (The original can be heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np-xT3StTdM here].)
* [[Eric Clapton]] has done a soulful, unplugged version of his own song, "Layla." [https://web.archive.org/web/20090402040912/http://retrocrush.buzznet.com/archive2007/badcovers/part3.html Opinions vary].
* [[The Police]] released a 1985 remix of "Don't Stand So Close To Me"
** Sting did a piano and voice version of "[[Unfortunate Names|Roxanne]]" for the Live Aid show.
