Like a Version is a long-running weekly segment on Australian youth radio station Triple J. It involves musicians playing two songs live in the Triple J studio, one of their own songs and then a cover version.

Contents

The series was created by presenter Mel Bampton in 2004 as part of the Mel in the Morning program. [1] The title is wordplay on the song "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. Early performances were more intimate, with most covers in the first years featuring only acoustic instruments, but as the segment has evolved, recordings have moved into larger studios to accommodate full bands. [1]

The segment has grown in popularity over the years, leading to the release of compilation CDs featuring the covers. [2] All Like a Version performances are filmed by Triple J and are made available on their YouTube channel. Some particularly well-received covers have made it into the Triple J Hottest 100– In the 2021 countdown, the Wiggles made history as their cover of Tame Impala's "Elephant" became the first Like a Version to take out the number one spot. [3] In 2023, Triple J celebrated 20 years of the segment with a one-off Triple J Hottest 100 of Like a Version. The top spot was taken out by the DMA's cover of Cher's "Believe". [4]

Like a Version is comparable in concept to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and Irish Today FM's Even Better Than the Real Thing .
