Like A Version is a segment on the radio station Triple J's program Mel in the Morning, hosted by Mel Bampton. It involves Australian, and more recently, international artists playing live, acoustic versions of some of their favourite songs. This segment's popularity has led to the release of two compilation CDs.

The title is an obvious parody of Like a Virgin.
