I used to think "Brown-Eyed Girl" was by The Rolling Stones because that's what my dad told me. He also told me that all of the members of Queen were gay and died of AIDS. Guess what kind of family my dad grew up in.

When Justin Bieber's song "Baby" came out, I 100% thought he was a girl. I'd never heard his name, nor did I know the name of the song. I'd just catch bits of it here and there. I wasn't until I guessed it was Katy Perry that my wife directed me to the video. I cannot overstate how much of a mindjob that was.

All my stupid friends thought that "Red Red Wine" was Bob Marley and the anarchy of youtube only reinforced that idea. I still meet people who think it's him.

I thought "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was by Fall Out Boy for the longest time. Also thought "No Tears" by Tuxedomoon was a Bauhaus song for some time.

I'm technologically and just generally inept so I am not going to try to successfully put a video of a song here.

Instead ill just say I once thought "Comment; If All Men Are Truly Brothers" was really a Wilco song instead of originally a Charles Wright song.

Also made same mistake with viva Las Vegas, thought that was a DKs song straight up.

Eric etc blah blah blah...

I always thought the Beach Boys did "Wipeout".

I also frequently confused REO Speedwagon and Supertramp songs.

Probably not alone in thinking this was a R.E.M. song. Its a very easy mistake to make. The vocals are indistinguishable and the lyrics and melody are pretty similar too.

I downloaded this as part of a "More Songs About Buildings And Food" torrent. Obviously whoever made it got "The Big Country" confused with "Big Country". Its actually not a bad way to end the album, fades out nicely.

When I first heard "Just Got Started Lovin' You" from my most favorite singer James Otto, I thought that it was fellow country singer Chris Young.

God bless you and James and Chris always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Plain and simple.

First, when I was 16 and really starting to get into rock, I thought just about every REO Speedwagon and Rush song was from Styx, because I had heard of them first and the voices were pretty similar. I also thought for a long time that "Do It Again" by Steely Dan was a Santana song.
