    Paul Revere and the Raiders have two completely different sounding studio versions of the same title "Louie Go Home". The second one is one of the first psychedelic recordings, and is included on lots of their hits compilations.

    This happened twice (arguably) with metal band Savatage. They recorded two songs called "Visions," one released in 1984 and one released in 1994. They also released a song called "I Believe" in 1983 and one called "Believe" in 1991, which might be stretching it, but there you go.

    Thin Lizzy has Sarah (a slow ballad about Phil's grandmother, from Shades Of A Blue Orphanage) and Sarah (a mid-tempo pop song about Phil's daughter, from Black Rose). The latter is was known as My Sarah on US pressings of Black Rose and is sometimes known by this title to differentiate it, whereas the original Sarah has been referred to as Sarah (Version 1).

    TV On The Radio have a song called Troubles (an iTunes bonus track to Nine Types Of Light) and a song called Trouble (from Seeds, and a single).

    The band Purgatory had songs called Burning Oasis, Dracula, Jack and Haunted House, all of which the titles would be used for different songs after they changed their name to Iced Earth (although Iced Earth's song Haunted House only appeared on an internal demo). Recently, most of the original Purgatory reformed and rerecorded the first three of these songs.

    Fun Lovin Criminals demo track King Of New York is entirely different from the Come Find Yourself track except for the repeated lines in the chorus.

    not different songs so this probably will not count but The Hollies did two totally differing versions of Buddy Holly's 'Take Your Time'

    - the first in 1966 with Graham Nash on high harmony and a Byrds like guitar the second a more mood music style version in 1980 featuring Terry Sylvester on high harmony and a synth'

    lkewise they did versions of Dylan's 'Blowin' in The Wind' - with Nash in 1968, then with Sylvester in 1969 set to the same backing track

    and also they did a reggae (!) style version of 'Peggy Sue Got Married' in 1980 and years later a west coast style version with Graham Nash on high harmony and featuring Buddy Holly on lead vocal !

    Oh, right, what about Elliott Smith's "Pretty Mary K"s?? Although one of them was never released while he was alive, in fact, he reworked it as "Everything's Okay", but the early version was posthumously released with its original title.

    Mick Ronson had a song called Life On Mars which was a bonus track on his Play Don’t Worry album. But it isn’t the Life On Mars? that he did the string arrangement for with David Bowie.

    Hilarious. This reminds me of Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom in which the last 4 tracks go like this:

    Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road
    Alifib
    Alifie
    Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road

    The Smashing Pumpkins have two songs called "Love". A long forgotten demo from the early days of the band and a song on the well-known "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness".
