What about parodies or references? This might include using parts of the lyrics. For example, songs on [http://musicbrainz.org/release/264ae61d-dee1-47ee-a3fe-71993321173e.html Play] borrows the refrain from both current-day Taiwan band [http://musicbrainz.org/artist/e73ed332-bbde-4d69-87a9-250627ae0e29.html Mayday] and the old song "London Bridge is Falling Down". Neither is a cover, but it's obvious that some relationship exists. Perhaps "parodies" is too specific to be useful, so a relationship like "references" might be more useful. --[[User:foolip|foolip]]

Version is very ambiguous. I would like the link-phrases to really reflect this is about re-recordings. Also we could include two nice attributes then... What do you think about

track has later {acoustic} {live} recording(s) track
track is a later {acoustic} {live} recording of track

Regarding the "earliest version of" AR, it says above: For example, if a demo version of a song is recorded, then a properly produced version which goes out on an album, and then the demo version gets released on a "best of" compilation, then the album version "is the earliest version of" the compilation version. My question is how to properly link that first demo version with the official album version that comes out later. Would you say "Track A (demo) is the earliest version of Track A (album version)" but still have all following compilation/live/other versions of the track linked back to the album version? -- Jugdish 19:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
