I think I might have the answer (after a period of sleuthing, when I was
meant to be working)!
The first (most obvious) is Lorenz Hart/Richard Rogers who wrote "I Wish I
Were In Love Again", covered by Joni, and "Lady Is A Tramp", covered by
TMBG.
The other one took a little more time to track down (and may be wrong) but
Zaret co-wrote "Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent
Gas)" - Singer/Zaret, covered by TMBG, and also co-wrote "Unchained
Melody" - North/Zaret, covered by Joni (sort of) in Chinese Cafe.
Am I right? Do I win a prize? What do I get? Oooh, I hope I win a prize!

Good question. I think it relates directly to your musical sluttiness, or
an interest in trivia generally. But don't worry, many others suffer from
the same affliction, myself included!
