Are there examples (hopefully Lightfoot songs) that show the difference between 3/4 and 6/8?

This failure to see the difference probably stems from me being a math teacher, and figuring that 3/4 = 6/8! I need to get out of the classroom more!
I figure 6/8 is twice as fast..lol
I too was wondering the same thing..
