I removed these examples, because they're full of contradictory natter, and I am not familiar enough with the songs to fix them. If someone can rewrite them to be good examples with proper indentation, please add them back.

* [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis']] [[CoveredUp
to:
* [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis\']] [[CoveredUp \"Hound Dog\"]] is edited for content and therefore sounds like it\'s about a dog. \"You ain\'t never caught a rabbit\" has nothing to do with bunnies, rabbit is innuendo for \"nice girl\" (virgin), making the line \"You ain\'t never screwed a virgin\". The Big Mama Thorton version is actually about a cheater and what should happen to him (making Elvis\' version ironic). It also had more lines that The King replaced with repeating the chorus.
** That\'s a mighty interesting tidbit considering Big Mama Thornton\'s version didn\'t have the \"rabbit\" lyric. That lyric was added by Freddie Bell on his version, and though I question that he meant for it to be about virgins, I think it\'s not outside the realm of possibility. Also, Elvis\'s version is not about a dog... unless you thought he was THAT oblivious. It\'s meant to be a metaphor about a guy who\'s useless, like a dog that\'s never caught a rabbit.
* \'I Put a Spell on You\': One can count on one hand the number of times the [[DomesticAbuse original intent of the song]] comes out in both the music and the lyrics- it\'s usually sung almost as a love ballad, leading to some real LyricalDissonance.
** It was \'\'meant\'\' as a love ballad. The \"original intent\" mentioned in the above entry became such after Screamin\' Jay Hawkins and company got liquored up in the studio, recorded the song as it\'s known today, and decided that way sounded better.
** And then, of course, the version sung by Bette Midler in \'\'Film/HocusPocus\'\' makes the titular \"spell\" \'\'literal\'\'.
** Then Sonique turned it into a trancy dance anthem.
* \"Shake, Rattle, and Roll\": The cover [[CoveredUp you\'ve probably heard]] is \'\'way\'\' cleaner than the original. The original has a line (\"I\'m like a one-eyed jack glaring at a seafood shop\") that is easy to understand if you have a dirty mind (one-eyed jack= \"cycloptic trouser snake\", seafood shop= \"fish taco\"). That particular line is nothing compared to the later line that basically describes what the 1-eyed jack is doing inside the seafood shop in the most detailed way possible for the 1950s.
** That\'s mighty interesting considering Music/BillHaleyAndTheComets cover has that \"one-eyed cat\" lyric intact. It doesn\'t have the \"get over hill\" line later, though.
Same for this ZeroContextExample. If you know what on Earth it\'s talking about, please rewrite it!
* One where just the artist name and the song, if you\'re familiar with the latter, is enough to make clear the change of meaning of the song: Sarah Jane Morris, \"[[HoYay Me and Mrs. Jones]]\".
