Like A Version is a 1990 EP from Two Nice Girls, the group's second release. The EP included a rerelease of the band's best-known song from its debut album, the satirical "I Spent My Last $10 (on Birth Control and Beer)", and five covers. Joe Brown of The Washington Post praised the "quietly stunning, punningly titled EP,"[1] and Patty Gettelman of the Orlando Sentinel gave it a four-star review.[2] Like a Version was named best Texas EP at the 1990-1991 Austin Music Awards.[3]
