Getting so many songs by the wrong artist.

I had headstrong_linkinpark.

I could never find it on their albums.

Years later find out its by Trapt instead haha

Fuck Trapt

Can't think of a one hit wonder band with a more bigoted piece of shit as the front man. Dimly lite souls, the entire lot.

I thought "Bittersweet Symphony" was an Oasis song for years thanks to Limewire.

House of the Rising Sun by Pink Floyd. Turns out it was a cover ny Frijid Pink.

Pretty sure the biggest victims of this were Rockapella (who apparently did every a cappella song) and Weird Al (who apparently recorded every comedy song).

Here’s how cool Al Yankovic is though: for years he maintained a list on his website of every comedy song falsely attributed to him and all the actual artists who made them. I don’t think it’s up anymore, there can’t be much need for it these days, but Al was very cool for doing that.

It wasn't entirely altruistic on Weird Al's part; he was also upset about getting associated with comedy songs that had profane lyrics.

I think I had crimson and clover by “Pink Floyd”

Yes. I once downloaded a Stroke9 greatest hits album, and it included the song "Story of a girl". When it came on, I thought "huh, I didn't know they did this song. Cool." Then for more than 10 years I thought it was their song.

That Zelda song from some Flash video labeled as System of a Down.

Crawling_(9-11_Remix).mp3 (bonus points if it's spelled Crawlin')

Rage Against The Machine - DX Theme

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't Worry Be Happy by Bob Marley was the one I remember. It was not by Bob Marley at all. It was by Bobby McFarren and came out years after Marley died.

Did everyone just think that the song was made by Bob Marley?

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think it was because it sounded like reggae and most people only know of one reggae singer.

[-] Bouga@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Hehe : "AC/DC - Born to be wild"

Also "AC/DC - Jailbreak" which I later found was not ACDC... And later found it actually was.

(and yes, ac/dc because why not)

If anyone was wondering, it was Rabbit Joint that did the Zelda cover

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Had one that was labeled as "Metallica + Trans-Siberian Orchestra". Took me years to find out it was actually Savatage

I had Green Day - Story of a girl

In fact if you go to https://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/green_day you will see Story of a Girl listed as #5 of their top 5 songs.

The song is by Nine Days.
