Second Hand Songs - Wiki - Guidelines

A partial cover is a cover of only a part of an original.

Example: The song That's How You Like It by Beyoncé uses parts of the lyrics from DeBarge's I Like It.

To keep it simple we set medleys always as partial covers, even if they contain the entire original song.

What is the difference between covers, partial covers and samples?

Use the following table to find out what type of cover song you are dealing with:

		Does the new song use the original track of the original?
		Yes	No
