Okay, so, people, what's the most different versions you have of any one song in your music collections?

My iTunes appears to contain four different versions of "Wonderwall" (um, two of which I cannot remember ever hearing), and three each of "Landslide" (Stevie Nicks, Dixie Chicks, Smashing Pumpkins), "100,000 Fireflies" (Magnetic Fields, Built to Spill, Superchunk), "Starman" (David Bowie, Dar Williams, Mates of State), "Real Wild Child" (Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, Josie & the Pussycats), "Such Great Heights" (Postal Service, Iron & Wine, Rilo Kiley), and "Rainbow Connection" (Muppets, Willie Nelson, Sarah McLachlan). This seems to confirm that my music collection is possibly somewhat random.

i have lots of versions of "all along the watchtower" and "how deep is the ocean" and "stagger lee" (although in that case they're often different songs, so not the same thing, and yet still interesting. to me.)
