Like a Version is a segment on the Australian radio station Triple J. It was created by Mel Bampton as part of the Mel in the Morning program. Currently the segment occurs every Friday morning on Triple J's Breakfast show, hosted by Tom Ballard & Alex Dyson. It involves Australian and international artists playing live, acoustic versions of some of their favourite songs. This segment's popularity has led to, so far, the release of eight compilation CDs.
It is very much like Irish Today FM's Even Better Than the Real Thing and has spawned imitations like BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
The title is a parody of "Like a Virgin".
