Same name songs & which is better?

Lots of songs which have been released have the same name.
What ones can you name, by who? And which ones in your opinion is better?

Rehab - Amy Winehouse & Rihanna (I prefer the Amy Winehouse song)
Girls - Marina & the Diamonds & Sugababes (I prefer the Marina & the Diamonds song)

What else can you name?

The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush, Huey Lewis & The News and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The last was the best imo.
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen and Milk & Honey. The second was better.
Breakaway - Beach Boys and Gallagher & Lyle. The second was better.
Words - Rita Coolidge and F R David (can't decide - both good)
Cherish - Madonna & Kool & The Gang (the second was much much better)
Joanna - Scott McKenzie and Kool & The Gang (can't decide - if you're in the mood for a more upbeat song the latter, if for a ballad, the former)
Young at heart - Frank Sinatra and The Bluebells (can't decide)
Where is the love - Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack and The Black Eyed Peas (can't decide)
Why - Donny Osmond and Annie Lennix (the second was better)

I only know the Abba song, which is a beauty.

Both OMD and the Pet Shop Boys have tunes called Electricity, but OMD's song is better IMO, and is of course more well known than the PSB song, which is just a mere album track from 1996.

Head Over Heels, Abba or Tears for Fears, that's a tough call! They're both equally excellent songs so I actually can't decide between them.

Back to OMD, I think I prefer their Locomotion to Lulu's. Blondie and Killing Joke both have tracks called Rapture, and I feel that KJ's heavier tune just sketches ahead of Blondie. Only just.

Depeche Mode and Simply Red both have tracks called Home, with Depeche Mode's song being far better IMO, an absolute beauty.

There are others, it's just that they involve more obscure artists and there'd be no point in mentioning them!

Street Life - Roxy Music & The Crusaders. Love them both but Roxy shades it for me.

I love the Toploader "drivel" - so much better than the Thin Lizzy song.

I believe you mean Kings Harvest drivel, since Toploader covered it.

Zombie, Cranberries and Pretty Reckless, I maybe the only person in the world that prefers PR.
C'est La Vie, Robbie Nevil and Bewitched, both awful.
God Save The Queen, I prefer the Pistols version myself
Stand By Me, Oasis and Ben E. King, I actually like the Oasis song, but it isn't in the same league.
