It's probably just the same song with the vocals removed. I'm an editor and have done projects like this and mostly movie trailers. We will have our music supervisors request an instrumental version of the song we are using from the record company so we can have dialogue in the clear at certain points and not have the heavy lyrics get in the way. If you ask for it, 95 percent of the time the record company will give it to you especially if the song is fairly new. Also we will "loop" certain portions of the song if we need it longer. There are a lot of repetitive parts in a song if you remove the lyrics. Hope this helps!

BTW here is a trailer I edited and if you listen to the Dr. John song during the second half. you will see I looped parts and re arranged parts of the song to work around the dialouge. https://vimeo.com/141590034
