same name songs
Gill Smith
well-known songs
generally
the exception is: me doing it
and I only do it for well-known songs I dislike
e.g. High and Dry
I hate this song by Radiohead
in fact, I hate everything about Radiohead
Honcho
There's 32 'High and Dry' 's at ASCAP alone...

I think Hoagy Carmichael's High and Dry is a little before Radiohead
were born :)

I wrote a song called Pachelbel's Canon in C. So it only has three words
in common with Pachelbel's Canon in D.

Tell me about it.....I buy sheet music on the internet from services like
freehand music and sheet music downloads all the time....I have to do a
Google search of each song's history first in order to get the right music,
or I will end up buying some song with the same name but written like
yesterday instead of 1925 or 30 that I am looking for. The last time this
happened, I was looking for "South of the Border" (Down Mexico way) written
back in the 30's and sung by Gene Autry or one of those guys......I ended up
buying a song written in the 1990's that nobody ever heard of......Another
problem is they give you the first page, and play it for you, but
frequently, the first page is just an introduction and you can't hear if
it's the melody you are looking for or not. - I think there is a lovely
scam going on by music writers to sell their music to old geezers like me
who think that the name is copyrighted and can't be re used.....But
apparently this isn't the case.

Well, I just took Pach's tune and fugued it up.

If you are inventive and artistic enough to write original music, then why
can't you come up with original names for it? All you are doing is confusing
geezers like me who are trying to build up an archive of the songs of my
youth. It's like trying to find a toothpick in a haystack of straw.....The
least you could do is add a, "II" after the title so we can know which song
is the original.....

interesting range of styles
did you prepare these tracks ? (e.g. with Pro Tools)
or was this done in a recording studio
