* "The Windmills of Your Mind" by Noel Harrison is a slow song about being in a mental rut. The version on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' about doubless the tempo and speeds ip further over the course of the song, making it feel more like it's about a full-on panic attack.

* "What I Go to School For" by Music/{{Busted}} is about a teenage boy having [[PrecociousCrush a crush]] on his teacher. It was inspired by one of the bandmates - Matt Willis' - actual schoolboy crush on a teacher from his dance school (which was ''not reciprocated ''in real life, she had no clue) but [[StudentTeacherRomance is in the song]]. Music/TheJonasBrothers' cover changes it to a boy having a crush on another girl his school in a year above his.

* ''River Road'' originally by Sylvia Tyson is about a woman who still wanted to roam and live freely despite being married, and Crystal Gayle sang it this way - but on her appearance in ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' changed a few verses to make it about a young girl who ran away to find adventure, only to return home once she realizes that the life of a wanderer wasn't all that exciting or romantic.

* "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Croft: Music/TypeONegative's cover becomes a song about domestic violence. At the very least.

* "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Croft: Crofts: Music/TypeONegative's cover becomes a song about domestic violence. At the very least. Type O Negative's version was disturbing enough that Seals and Crofts wouldn't let them officially release it without re-recording the vocals with the original lyrics in tact - the rejected version leaked online, and a re-release of ''Bloody Kisses'' had the altered lyrics printed in the liner notes even though the recording still had the original Seals and Crofts lyrics.

* "You Made Me Love You": The original version, first sung by Al Jolson, is obviously a romantic love song, meant for someone the singer has a real relationship with. Creator/JudyGarland's famous cover version, renamed "Dear [[Creator/ClarkGable Mr. Gable]]," makes it about a CelebCrush. And in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "Music," Tommy sings a new version, "You Make Me Like You," that's a PlatonicDeclarationOfLove to his little brother Dil.

* "Plastic Love" by Music/MariyaTakeuchi tells the story of a woman who embraces a hedonistic lifestyle after being spurned by a past lover. After Caitlin Myers posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vunm-W-ovLc an English cover]], Will Stetson [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4pdVgHnew4 sang]] it from a male perspective without changing any of the lyrics. The result changes the point of view from the heartbroken to the heartbreaker; a playboy who finds comfort in "fancy high heels and plenty of dresses" to disguise his inability to find the love he craves.

In both cases, the singer is chasing a false happiness.
