Try to imagine a song as a sandwich comprising two main parts: the bread (or tune) and the filling (or words). The construction of any two sandwiches is very similar, but one might have a cheese filling in white bread, and the other a ham filling in brown bread. They’re both still sandwiches but are completely different - except for the butter.

Now I can see by your smirks they think I have forgotten something - what about the triangular plastic box that so many sandwiches come in these days? Well, these boxes are designed specifically so that when you try to get them out the sandwiches fall apart, and that is when the contents may get swapped over, or put differently the words of one song get mixed up with the tune of another.
