When a song, usually from a musical, has a popular version with rewritten lyrics, because the original lyrics were too character-specific or just not commercial enough. This is likely to turn it into a love song if it wasn't originally. This phenomenon is related to the Award-Bait Song. See also Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics, Theme Tune Extended. For the inversion, see Repurposed Pop Song. Examples: |

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" has slightly more downbeat lyrics in Meet Me in St. Louis than in the popular version, which changes the lines "Through the years we all will be together if the Lord allows / Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "...if the fates allow / Hang a shining star upon the highest bough." However, the lyrics were changed even before filming, because Judy Garland flatly refused to sing such depressing lyrics to little Margaret O'Brien (Tootie). The original featured lines such as "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last". If you've ever wondered about the Lyrical Dissonance of the song, now you know. | |

The Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Cover Album "Songs From The Neighborhood" contains a pop cover of "Thank You For Being You" from the The Noddy Shop episode "Noah's Leaving", but with most of the lyrics changed to be about Mister Rogers (aside from the Title Drop only two lines were kept from the original Noddy version). Unlike most examples of this trope, the song's original writer, Dennis Scott, rewrote the new version. Similarly, a rewritten version of the song "Bubble Trouble" from the Noddy episode "Following Directions" is used in Dennis Scott's musical children's show Just Imagine. |

Dream5's songs for Tamagotchi have two versions: the TV size versions, which add in references to elements in the show (and in one phrase, inserting Himespetchi's catchphrase "Gigakyun!" into the lyrics), and the full versions, which lack these references. For instance, "I My Me Mine"'s first verse is "Kyou mo dai dai dai dai daisuki, ta ta ta ta Tamagotchi"note translating into "Today I lo-lo-lo-lo-love ta-ta-ta-ta Tamagotchi!" in English, while the full version goes "Kyou mo I my me mine yume ippai, I my me mine mune ippai!"note "Today I have dreams that are I my me mine, today my heart is full of I my me mine" in English. At least one song, "Doremifasorairo", not only had the lyrics changed, but the pitch lower than the full version. | |

Rodgers and Hart did this earlier, if less drastically, with "Isn't It Romantic?" and "Lover" from Love Me Tonight. In the movie, the former song is worked into an elaborate montage, and the latter includes a Hurricane of Puns about horseback riding. | |

Two songs from the Yuki-chan era (2014-2019) of Inai Inai Baa! were given J-Pop covers, with Yuzu covering "Kanpai!" and GReeeeN covering "Popopopopose", the latter of which became more popular than the original song and inspired a dance challenge on YouTube. | |

In Amaluna, all of the show songs are in "Cirquish" as usual, but on the soundtrack album, many of the songs have been rewritten in English ("Elma Om Mi Lize", "Ena Fee Alyne", and "O Ma Ley" remain Cirquish). Similarly, Quidam's soundtrack includes English versions of "Let Me Fall" and others (Josh Groban covered "Let Me Fall" on one of his albums). | |

In a case where a movie uses a song from another source for this, Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers was promoted with a music video featuring a pop cover of "Three Is A Magic Number" from Schoolhouse Rock!, which is also owned by Disney.

Trolls: World Tour: This is the reason in-universe that the Troll tribes separated and began to live in isolation.

The first verse of the pop version of "Only You" from Starlight Express directly contradicts the characterisation of the character who sings that part in the show. "Look at me a woman calm and in control, no silly girl whose head's always turning" is the direct opposite of Pearl, who is a "silly girl whose head's always turning." It makes for a lovely song, though. | |

Another Disney example is "Reflection" from Mulan, the pop version of which was performed by Christina Aguilera. Also from Mulan is the less commonly heard "True To Your Heart." The version that plays over the credits is an exhortation to live honestly and stand by what you believe in. The one in the music video (and on the soundtrack album) says that if you're true to your heart, it will tell you to date the singer. The sequel Mulan II got hit with this too, with "Like Other Girls" being changed in the Atomic Kitten cover to reflect their modern desires for freedom (no cameras, no platform shoes, etc.) instead of Chinese princesses escaping the culture standards for women of the time period (get rid of the fan, no escorts, etc.). |

The English dub of Ponyo ends with a pop version of the theme song after an English version of the original song plays, sung by Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas, the English voice actors of Ponyo and Sousuke. There's also a full version of it that was used to promote the film. While the original version is about Ponyo exploring her world, the pop version gives off the vibe of "let's dance and be happy with Ponyo". | |

Giorgio Moroder's reworking of Metropolis uses a soundtrack written by him; the official soundtrack, however, is changed significantly from the originals. Compare "Here's My Heart" by Pat Benatar with the reworked version for radio. Also compare "Machines," an already poppy song of The '80s, with the version from the soundtrack. |

VeggieTales: There was an album of popular Christian artists covering their songs called "Veggie Rocks". The German dub made a pop version of the theme song with new lyrics added to the regular song. For "Veggies In Space: The Fennel Frontier", they had Jamie Grace perform a pop version of "Enough to Share", a major song in that episode, for the end credits. |

An American Tail is well-known for the pop version of one of the songs from the film, "Somewhere Out There", which was preformed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, that played during the credits of the film. It became so popular that it would later break free of its origins and become one of the 80's defining songs. | |

"Fugue For Tinhorns" from Guys and Dolls, with its lyrics rewritten to be a more generic round, was issued under the title "Three-Cornered Tune." However, the original "Fugue For Tinhorns" still got several pop covers. There was also a solo version of "Sue Me," whose verse has completely different music and lyrics ("So you're all the time right and I'm all the time wrong") than the show version ("You promise me this, you promise me that"). | |

Pretty Cure All Stars: Minna De Utau Kiseki No Mahou features a pop version of the musical number "Anata Ga Iru Kara" as the ending theme, sung by the voice actors for all the Pink Cures and the characters from the Maho Girls Pretty Cure! and Go! Princess Pretty Cure. The original song involved the Cures singing about the town they were visiting, while the end credits one is about friendship. | |

"I Will Always Return" is about homecoming and family in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. The pop version is a paint-by-numbers love song. | |

Anastasia's "Journey to The Past" was heavily rearranged and given a few new lyrics for its end credits cover by Aaliyah. "Once upon a December" also has a pop cover during the credits, by Deana Carter. | |

"The Party's Over" from Bells Are Ringing has a separately issued version with a few different lines in the refrain (reputedly changed at Judy Holliday's insistence), as well an entirely different verse that makes no reference to Melisande Scott but does Call-Back to the song "It's A Perfect Relationship." | |

"The Bad In Every Man" from Manhattan Melodrama was rewritten at MGM's request as "Blue Moon" (actually the fourth lyric written for the tune), which went on to become a massive hit. Rodgers and Hart did this earlier, if less drastically, with "Isn't It Romantic?" and "Lover" from Love Me Tonight. In the movie, the former song is worked into an elaborate montage, and the latter includes a Hurricane of Puns about horseback riding. |

The intro song "Couldn't Be Better" from Uglydolls has a pop cover exclusive to the movie's soundtrack. It keeps a fair amount of the lyrics of the original, and is also sung by Kelly Clarkson, Moxy's voice actress in the movie, meaning she technically gets two versions of the song to sing. | |

Early in its development/workshopping, the title song from The Phantom of the Opera was released as a single (complete with video) with dramatically different lyrics from those in the final theatrical production. If you compare them, both sets of lyrics are totally innocuous — just different. The Phantom's singer on the single, Steve Harvey, was in the running for the role, but in the end Andrew Lloyd Webber and company decided his rock-trained voice wasn't quite what they needed for the final show. The version of "The Music of the Night" that Michael Crawford performs on the Highlights from The Phantom of the Opera album, which was released as a single, isn't taken from the Original London Cast Recording, unlike the rest of the tracks on Highlights. It's a slightly lighter, piano-driven arrangement, and the lyrics prior to verse four are often different, most obviously in the first bridge ("Close your eyes, for your eyes will only tell the truth/And the truth isn't what you want to see"). Crawford rerecorded this version with orchestrations closer to the standard version for his 1989 studio album With Love, and the duet versions he performed with Barbra Streisand (in 1993) and Susan Boyle (2012) use these lyrics as well. |
