History MisattributedSong / AToM

* Music/TwoBrothersOnThe4thFloor had nothing to do with "Bullet In The Gun" by the Eurotrance {{supergroup}} Planet Perfecto, despite Jake "JX" Williams being misleadingly credited as 2 Brothers

** There's also a ska-punk cover of the song that's commonly mislabeled as being by No Doubt or Reel Big Fish, it's actually by Save Ferris (yes, as in Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff).

* Timo Maas never covered "Enjoy the Silence"; he merely remixed the Music/DepecheMode original.
** Like wise for "Doom's Night" by Azzido da Bass, which he also remixed.
** The same goes for Linkin Park. "Enjoy the Silence" was remixed by Mike Shinoda in 2001.

** Another song commonly mistaken for Tenacious D (or sometimes, bizarrely Music/AliceInChains) is "Chewbacca" by Supernova, best known for its use in ''Film/{{Clerks}}''.

* "Even Flow" is not by Music/{{Godsmack}}. It's by Music/PearlJam. Godsmack weren't even ''around'' when "Even Flow" was recorded. Not to mention that Godsmack were more comparable to Music/AliceInChains than Pearl Jam.

** It isn't by Music/TheKinks, the Music/{{Ramones}}, or Music/{{Poison}} either.
* "My Way" (not to be confused with the Music/FrankSinatra or Music/LimpBizkit hits) is not a new Music/SouljaBoy single. It's by Fetty Wap.

* "My Neck, My Back" wasn't performed by Music/EveRapper, Music/MissyElliott, or Music/LilKim. The rapper is OneHitWonder Khia.

* "My Neck, My Back" wasn't performed by Music/EveRapper, Music/MissyElliot, or Music/LilKim. The rapper is OneHitWonder Khia.

* "Let the Music Play" is not by Lisa Stansfield, Music/GloriaEstefan, or Music/{{Madonna}}. It's by '80s OneHitWonder Shannon. And no, Jordin Sparks didn't do it first.

* The 1986 hit "Baby Love" (not to be confused with Music/TheSupremes song of the same title) is not by Music/{{Madonna}} but by one hit wonder Regina. It was originally written for Madonna by frequent collaborator Stephen Bray, but when she turned it down Regina was brought in to be a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute. Not only did the production team intentionally try to make her vocals sound like Madge's, but she's even made up to look like Madonna in the music video and on the single cover art. It's also not by Regina Belle.

** The acoustic cover is not by Weezer, System of a Down, or Blink-182. That would be Scottish band Travis.

* [=UB40=] are probably best-known for their reggae {{cover|edUp}}s of classic songs, but such a cover of "[[Music/PeterFrampton Baby, I Love Your Way]]" was done by the relatively-obscure OneHitWonder group Big Mountain, who came out during [=UB40=]'s heyday.
** And [=UB40=] didn't do a reggae cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World", that was Maxi Priest.

* "Back For Good" is not by Music/GeorgeMichael, it's by the group Take That.

** "Let's Go All The Way" is not by the Backstreet Boys either, but by OneHitWonder contemporaries React, though it does resemble "Everybody". (And it's not to be confused with the 1986 hit "Let's Go All The Way" by the OneHitWonder duo Sly Fox.)

* "BadToTheBone" is not by Music/ZZTop. It's George Thorogood. Also, it's not by Music/BoDiddley, either. The song's guitar riff was borrowed from "I'm a Man," which is over twenty years older. George Thorogood acknowledged this by having Bo Diddley appear in the video.

* "The Boys Are Back in Town" is by {{Music/Thin Lizzy}}, not {{Music/Bad Company}} or Music/BruceSpringsteen.

** It's not Bonnie Tyler either; on a related note, don't confuse "Total Eclipse of the Heart" or "Holding Out for a Hero" with Stewart or Carnes.

* "Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)" is not by Oingo Boingo. It's by The Icicle Works.

* "Blood Is Pumpin'" is not by Warp Brothers, Aquagen, or Darude, but by Voodoo & Serrano.

* The Blue Man Group did not do "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", that was Eiffel 65, who couldn't be any more different from Blue Man Group.
* "Bodies" ([[RefrainFromAssuming not "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor"]]) was not by System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Sum 41(!), Godsmack, Slipknot, or Korn, but by Drowning Pool. In Zombie's case, this is because the song sounds similar to "Dragula."

** The Bee Gees also didn't perform "After The Love Has Gone"; that's still Earth, Wind & Fire.

* Rod Stewart did not sing "Brother Louie." That was Stories, covering a song by Hot Chocolate.

* Similarly, the theme from ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'' is not by Yanni, but rather fellow Greek composer ''Vangelis.''

* "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is not by Matchbox 20, the Wallflowers, Hootie & the Blowfish, Everclear, Gin Blossoms, Oasis, the Ramones, or the Barenaked Ladies, but rather by a OneHitWonder band called Deep Blue Something. (And the song has nothing to do with "Moon River", the actual theme from the ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys'' movie)
* "Break My Stride", [[RefrainFromAssuming not "Got to Keep On Moving"]], is not by Music/MenAtWork, but by Music/MatthewWilder.
* "Breaking All The Rules" is not by the Music/SpiceGirls; it's by the American OneHitWonder girl group She Moves.

* Music/PeterGabriel did not make (or cover) the song "Broken Wings" (the one that goes "Take these broken wings and learn to fly again, learn to live so free..."); that was Mr. Mister, whose vocalist sounds somewhat like Gabriel. Same deal with "Kyrie."

* "Brown Eyed Girl" is not by the Rolling Stones, James Taylor or Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival. It's by Van Morrison.

* "California Dreamin'" is not by Music/JeffersonAirplane but by The Mamas and the Papas.

* "Catch the Wind" is by Music/{{Donovan}}, not Bob Dylan, although there are videos all over [=YouTube=] claiming otherwise. The confusion seems to be because the song is very much in Dylan's early folk style. In fact, almost all of Donovan's songs sounded like that (he was dubbed "The British Bob Dylan" by the press), but he's mainly known today for 'Season of The Witch," a somewhat out-of-character psychedelic rock song.

* Metallica didn't do "Cemetery Gates," either. That would be Music/{{Pantera}}.

* "C'est La Vie" (the 1996 [[GenreMashup neoclassical trip-hop]] song) is not by Music/{{Enigma}}, but by Hubert Kah, although Enigma producer Michael Cretu collaborated with them on their 1980's albums (but not this one). Furthermore, Sandra, Cretu's then-[[CreatorCouple wife and musical collaborator]], was not featured on "C'est la vie" or "Cathy". The former's female singer was Susanne Kemmler(then married to frontman Hubert Kemmler, in addition to co-writng many of Sandra's hits), the latter's was Amy Goff.

* Neither Music/DonnaSummer nor Music/DianaRoss sang the disco version of "Don't Leave Me This Way", that was Thelma Houston (Whitney's cousin).

** Nor, obviously, did Music/RichardWagner compose the most famous part of that symphony, "O Fortuna."
* "Carry on Wayward Son" is not by Boston, That was Kansas.
** "Dust In The Wind" is not by Boston either, by the way. Still Kansas. It's easy to confuse those two mid-'70s bands named for American geography.
*** "Dust in the Wind" isn't by the Eagles, Music/LinkinPark(!) or Music/LedZeppelin either.

** "Caught Up In You" and "Hold On Loosely" are also not by Boston. They're by 38 Special.

* "Catch the Wind" is by Music/{{Donovan}}, not Bob Dylan, although there are videos all over Youtube claiming otherwise. The confusion seems to be because the song is very much in Dylan's early folk style. In fact, almost all of Donovan's songs sounded like that (he was dubbed "The British Bob Dylan" by the press), but he's mainly known today for 'Season of The Witch," a somewhat out-of-character psychedelic rock song.

* Music/{{Metallica}} never did a version of "Carol of The Bells". [[RefrainFromAssuming It wasn't called "Carol of The Bells", either]], it was called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?MHioIlbnS_A Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24]]". The song was made famous by Music/TransSiberianOrchestra, but it was written by the progressive/power metal that spawned TSO, {{Music/Savatage}}.

* "Centerfield" (not "[[RefrainFromAssuming Put Me In, Coach]]") is not by Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival. It is a solo song by John Fogerty.
* "C'est La Vie" (the 1996 [[GenreMashup neoclassical trip-hop]] song) is not by Music/{{Enigma}}, but by Hubert Kah, although Enigma producer Michael Cretu collaborated with them on their 1980's albums(but not this one). Furthermore, Sandra, Cretu's then-[[CreatorCouple wife and musical collaborator]], was not featured on "C'est la vie" or "Cathy". The former's female singer was Susanne Kemmler(then married to frontman Hubert Kemmler, in addition to co-writng many of Sandra's hits), the latter's was Amy Goff.

* "Click Click Boom", "Ladies and Gentlemen", and "Your Disease" are not by P.O.D., but by Saliva. Conversely, "Youth Of The Nation," "Boom," and "Alive" aren't Saliva, but P.O.D.

* Trent Reznor and Roger Waters have never collaborated, on a live version of "Comfortably Numb" or any other project. If you find a song on a [=P2P=] network labelled as this, it's typically just Music/PinkFloyd's own live version from ''Delicate Sound of Thunder'', which neither Reznor nor Waters appears on (though Waters did co-write the song and might legitimately show up in the credits for that reason). In fact, the melody on the verses of that version, which is quite different from that of the original studio recording, is a version Waters has never played on, with or without Pink Floyd.

* "Come On Eileen" is not by The Clash, Men At Work, or The Cure. It's by Music/DexysMidnightRunners.

* "Conga Feeling" is not by Music/GloriaEstefan (you're thinking of "Conga" with Miami Sound Machine), but by Belgian-El Salvadorian singer Vivian Muyshondt.
* "Constant Craving" is not by Music/{{Eurythmics}} or Music/AnnieLennox. It's by kd lang.

* "Copacetic" isn't by Nirvana, and that's not its name (nor is it "And You Don't" or "Born to be Down"). It's called "Bound for the Floor," and it's by Local H.

** "Cotton Eye Joe" isn't by Scatman John either.

* "Dancing In The Moonlight" isn't by Van Morrison or Elvis Costello, but '70s OneHitWonder King Harvest covering Boffalongo. If you're in Europe, the version you've heard is probably the one by Toploader, [[CoveredUp covering up]] the previous cover. The fact that Van Morrison has an entirely different hit song called "Moondance" may add to the confusion there.

* You may understandably mistake "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_zdAZ1XVM Day After Day]]" as a latter-era [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] song. It isn't; it's actually by one of their Apple Records labelmates, Music/{{Badfinger}}, though George Harrison did produce and play some of the guitar bits on the song.
** "Come And Get It", by the same band, is also widely misattributed as a Beatles song. It doesn't help that Music/PaulMcCartney actually wrote it, and that a demo version appears on one of Music/TheBeatlesAnthology compilation albums.

* "Dangerous", the 2019-20 synthwave song([[RefrainFromAssuming whose title is not "Black Heart"]]), is not by Dana Jean Phoenix, but by Roxi Drive. Although the two artists are stylistically similar, as with the aforementioned Music/EllieGoulding, Roxi, based in London, uses British pronunciations (e.g. non-rhoticity and the trap-bath split), while Dana, from Toronto, uses American/Canadian pronunciations.

* Music/NickCave and Enya didn't cover Music/BlueOysterCult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"; that was Ville Valo of HIM and Finnish vocalist Sanna-June Hyde.

** On this wiki's TropeNamers page, "Runaway Train," actually by Music/SoulAsylum, was misattributed to Music/SkidRow.

* "Dream Police" is not by Aerosmith. It is by Music/CheapTrick. The confusion is probably due to Aerosmith's similarly-named song "Dream On," and the fact that "Dream Police" was included on ''VideoGame/GuitarHero: Aerosmith.''
** Similar confusion with Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever", which was also included on ''VideoGame/GuitarHero: Aerosmith''.

* "Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses" is not an Anne Murray song. It was performed by Kathy Mattea.

** Errr... ''Fernando'', by Music/{{Abba}}, was shamelessly ripped off by British group The Brotherhood of Man (like ABBA, Eurovision winners), a band marketed as an Abba clone. TBOM's "Angelo" is so suspiciously similar to "Fernando", it is often mis-attributed to ABBA, whilest "Fernando" is also mis-attributed to TBOM. It gets confusing, especially as other TBOM songs - especially "Figaro" - are also suspiciously ABBA-like.

* "Eye in the Sky" is not by Music/HallAndOates (despite the similarities to "Private Eyes"), Music/TheKinks, Music/MenAtWork, or Music/ThePolice. It's by Music/TheAlanParsonsProject.

* "Glory of Love" is not by Music/{{Chicago}} or Music/PhilCollins. That was a solo hit from Chicago's lead singer Peter Cetera.

* "Goodbye To You" is not by Music/PattiSmith; it's by Scandal, whose singer is coincidentally named Patt''y'' Sm''y''th.

* The late '60s hit "Good Morning Starshine" (originally written for the musical ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'') isn't by Music/JohnDenver, nor is it Music/{{Donovan}}; it's by [[OnlyOneName Oliver]].

* "Got To Be Real" is not by Music/{{Cher}}, but by Cheryl Lynn.

* "Groove Is In The Heart" is not by Music/{{Blondie|Band}}; it's by Deee-Lite.

* "Her Diamonds" is not a Matchbox Twenty song; it's a solo piece by their lead singer Rob Thomas.

* "I Hope You Dance" is not by Music/DollyParton, Music/LeAnnRimes, Music/ShaniaTwain, Music/FaithHill or Music/AlisonKrauss, it's by Music/LeeAnnWomack

* "I Feel Love" is not by Diana Ross, but by Music/DonnaSummer. Conversely, "I'm Comin' Out" is not Donna Summer, but Diana Ross.

* "I Like It (Like That)" is not by Music/PatrickHernandez, Music/{{Santana}} or Music/TheVillagePeople, but by the one-off {{supergroup}} The Blackout All-Stars, [[CoveredUp covering up Pete Rodriguez]].

* "I Need to Know" is not by Music/RickyMartin. It's by Mark Anthony.

* "I'm Falling Even More in Love with You" is not by Creed, Three Doors Down, or The Calling, but by Lifehouse, and is called "Hanging By A Moment".

* "Into The Night" is not by Michael Bolton, and it's not a solo hit by Paul Stanley of Music/{{KISS}} either. It's the only hit single by Benny Mardones.
* "Into The Night" (the 1996 Eurodance single) is not by Corona(though it resembles "The Rhythm of the Night"), but by the Swedish group Ondina.

* "Into The Night"(the 1996 Eurodance single) is not by Corona(though it resembles "The Rhythm of the Night"), but by the Swedish group Ondina.

* "I Ran Over The Taco Bell Dog" is the hardest song to find a real artist. The song has been misattributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Cheech & Chong, Afroman, South Park Mexican, Chingo Bling, Bob & Tom, & Andrew & Anthony! The real artists are Tim (Scott) & Mark (Derringer) who hosted a radio show years ago.

* "It's A Rainy Day" is not by Dr. Alban or T.H. Express. It's by Ice MC feat. Alexia (uncredited).

* The Vengaboys didn't cover or remix MC Sar & The Real [=McCoy=]'s "It's On You"; that mix was by the similarly named Bonbonboys.

* Neither Music/BryanAdams, MichaelMcDonald nor Music/RickAstley sang "I've Been Thinkin' About You". It's by Londonbeat. And the female vocalist on the duet remake is not Music/{{Kylie|Minogue}} or Dannii Minogue, but Damae of Fragma fame.

* "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" and "Steppin' Out" are not Billy Joel songs. They're actually by Music/JoeJackson, the former from his album ''Music/LookSharp'' and the latter from ''Night and Day''.

** "What It's Like" is not by Sublime, it's by House of Pain frontman Everlast. In fact, Brad Nowell was ''dead'' when it was recorded.

* "Just When I Needed You Most" was not by Christopher Cross, but by Randy van Warmer. The song does bear a resemblance to Cross' main hit, "Sailing."
[[/folder]]

* Music/DonnaSummer did not sing "Knock on Wood", that was OneHitWonder Amii Stewart [[CoveredUp covering up]] Eddie Floyd.

* "Komodo (Save A Soul)" is not by Music/{{Enigma}} or Music/{{Enya}}. That's Mauro Picotto featuring an uncredited female singer, and [[SampledUp sampling up]] Deep Forest's "Sweet Lullaby", itself often mistaken for Enigma.

* "Kung Fu Fighting" isn't by the Music/FooFighters, Bee Gees, Hot Chocolate, Music/JimiHendrix, KC and the Sunshine Band, or Village People. It was by OneHitWonder Carl Douglas. While the song sounds nothing like the Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl was only a child when "Kung Fu Fighting" was recorded), the misattribution came from the song title being similar to the band's name. And also, Jimi Hendrix was dead when the song was written.

* The Pointer Sisters never sang "Lady Marmalade", it was by Labelle, the OneHitWonder side group of Patti Labelle (the ''Moulin Rouge'' version did not come first).

* "Let the Music Play" is not by Music/LisaStansfield, Music/GloriaEstefan, or Music/{{Madonna}}. It's by '80s OneHitWonder Shannon. And no, Jordin Sparks didn't do it first.

* "Life Is a Highway" (as in the original song, not the Rascal Flatts cover) was not recorded by Tom Petty, but rather by Tom Cochrane (another case where the singers sound so dissimilar that no-one familiar with both would make the mistake).

** This one's a little tricky, because the Beach Boys did record their own version of the song (which was written by Music/BrianWilson and Mike Love) on the ''All Summer Long'' album.
* Music/GeorgeStrait is not the singer of "A Little More Country Than That." That's Easton Corbin, and it came out ''long'' after Strait's heyday.
* "The Little Old Lady (from Pasadena)" wasn't by The Beach Boys. That was Jan and Dean.

* Music/PaulMcCartney was a Beatle, but "Live and Let Die" is him with Music/{{Wings|Band}}. As are "Band on the Run", "Jet," and every other song [=McCartney=] sang with Wings.

* Music/LedZeppelin did not sing "Lonely is the Night". That was Music/BillySquier. It does sound a lot like "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and "Good Times, Bad Times".

** The Hollies seem particularly susceptible to this trope:

*** That's not Air Supply doing "The Air That I Breathe".

** There's a Big Beat-style remix of "Loser" that's been credited to Music/FatboySlim - it isn't his work, though no evidence of who actually ''did'' do it has turned up.

* "Lost On You" is not by Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, or Music/ChristinaAguilera. It's by LP, AKA Laura Pergolizzi.

* "Lovefool" not "Say That You Love Me" is not by No Doubt. It's by the Cardigans. It peaked on the charts shortly after "Don't Speak".

* "Love in the First Degree" is not by Music/KylieMinogue but British girl group Music/{{Bananarama}}. It sounds like a Kylie Minogue track as it was produced by Music/StockAitkenWaterman, who also produced many of Minogue's early songs.

* "Low Rider" is not performed by Music/ZZTop. That was War, an artist who couldn't be any more different.

** Some people also think "Come on Eileen" is by Queen, but it's actually Dexy's Midnight Runners.

** Not sure if Music/IronMaiden actually covered it, it may be a misattributted cover.

* Music/GiorgioMoroder didn't produce "Megatron Man" (which predates ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' by three years), that was Patrick Cowley.

* Google, "Merry Freaking Christmas" and approximately 70% of the hits will credit the song to Relient K. Relient K did not cover the rather "blue" Christmas tune, which includes, among other things, the singer getting in the bathroom with his sister-in-law to have sex, and the sound of her orgasm. Considering they are a Christian punk band, this would be very unlike them. The band in question is called "FRICKIN' A".
* The Black Keys never had a song called "Mess Around." That song is by Cage the Elephant. However, the album it is on was produced by Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach.

* "Midnight Sun" is not by Music/AHa, despite the connotations with Norway and the stylistic similarity to "Hunting High and Low". It's by the aforementioned German artist Hubert Kah.

* "Missing" is not by Des'ree or Music/{{Sade}}, [[RefrainFromAssuming nor is it called "And I Miss You"]]. It's by Everything But the Girl. And the trance remix was not by Paul Oakenfold, but by either Todd Terry (which got the most airplay) or Chris & James.
* "Missing You" is not Bryan Adams. That was OneHitWonder John Waite.

** On the subject of Bryan Adams and in the case of Misattributed album, ''Waking Up The Neighbors'' is not a Music/DefLeppard album with Bryan Adams fronting. The similarities come from the fact Creator/RobertJohnMuttLange (who was Leppard's producer during the 1980s) co-produced, co-wrote and sang backing vocals on the album. Further confusion also comes from how similar the voices of Adams and Leppard's singer Joe Elliott sound.

* "More Today Than Yesterday" was not an early Music/{{Chicago}} hit; it was actually done by OneHitWonder group the Spiral Starecase.
* "Morning Train (Nine To Five)" is not a Marie Osmond song. It's sung by Sheena Easton.
* Rihanna did not sing the chorus in Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life."
** Likewise, Rihanna didn't sing the chorus in Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor". That was Skylar Grey, who also appeared in Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home".

* Music/TheDoors never did "Mother." It was made by Danzig, nearly two decades after Jim Morrison died.

** It isn't by Music/TheKinks, Music/TheRamones, or Music/{{Poison}} either.

* The 1981 song "'65 Love Affair" sounds a lot like Music/BillyJoel's or Hall & Oates' output around the same time, but is actually by Paul Davis.

* Rick Springfield did not sing "867-5309/Jenny", nor did Huey Lewis and the News. It's by early '80s [[OneHitWonder one-hit wonders]] Music/TommyTutone (who were a band, [[IAmNotShazam not a solo artist]]).
** Blink-182 never covered "867-5309". That was Less Than Jake or Bracket.

* "A Better World" is not by Music/{{Jewel}} or Music/KateBush. It's by the Italo-Eurodance group Kate Project(who covered Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights").

* "Absolutely Right" is not by Music/AHa, Music/{{Alphaville}}, or Music/TheHumanLeague, but by Swedish synthpop group Sine City.
* "Addicted" was not by Three Doors Down, Hinder, or Music/FallOutBoy. It was by Saving Abel.

* "Adiemus" isn't by Music/{{Enya}} or Enigma; it's written by Karl Jenkins, and performed by a group named, appropriately enough, Adiemus. (Jenkins also wrote the music from the De Beers Diamonds ads, incidentally.)

* Music/MichaelBolton did not cover Music/MarvinGaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", that was Music/MichaelMcDonald. Ditto "Sweet Freedom", which by the way was [[CoveredUp not originally sung by Shawn Christopher]].

* "All Around The World" ([[RefrainFromAssuming not "Been Around The World"]], though said title was used for a Puff Daddy song that sampled the chorus) is not by Music/WhitneyHouston or Chaka Khan, but by white British R&B/soul singer Lisa Stansfield.

* "All I Need is a Miracle" is not by Music/TheCars or Music/ThePolice, but by Mike + The Mechanics.
* The 1998 #1 hit "All My Life" is not by Boyz II Men. It's by K-Ci & [=JoJo=], formerly of Jodeci (and no, it's not Jodeci's own song).
* "All Out of Love" is not by REO Speedwagon. It's by Air Supply.
* "All She Wants to Do is Dance" is not by Music/MichaelJackson or Music/{{Prince}}, but by Don Henley of Music/TheEagles. Also not to be confused with "Everything She Wants" by Music/{{Wham}}, "She Wants to Dance with Me" by Music/RickAstley, or "All That She Wants" by Music/AceOfBase.

* "Already Gone" is not by Music/{{Beyonce}} or Music/{{Fergie}}; "Stronger" (the 2011 hit, not to be confused with the Music/BritneySpears song, the Kristine W. song mentioned below, or the Music/KanyeWest song) is not by Music/LadyGaga; and "Walk Away" is not by Music/{{Pink}}. All three are by Music/KellyClarkson. "Already Gone" has been compared to Beyonce's "Halo"; both were co-written by [[Music/OneRepublic Ryan Tedder]].
* The '80s version of the Burt Bacharach song "Always Something There to Remind Me" is not by Music/ModernEnglish, Music/SoftCell, or Music/TearsForFears. It's by Music/NakedEyes. Naked Eyes' other hit "Promises, Promises", which is not a cover of a Bacharach song despite sharing its name with one, are not by any of those artists either.

* "Another Saturday Night" is not an Andy Gibb song; the version you're hearing is Cat Stevens [[CoveredUp covering up]] Music/SamCooke. By extension, it's also not an early [[Music/TheBeeGees Bee Gees]] song, either.
* "American Woman" was not originally by Music/JimiHendrix, Music/LedZeppelin, Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival, Steppenwolf, or Music/TheWho. That was the Guess Who. There are people who think it was Lenny Kravitz, but that's [[CoveredUp another trope.]]

* "Are You Gonna Go My Way" sounds a lot like ZZ Top. It's not. It's actually by Lenny Kravitz.

* Music/TupacShakur did not sing "Gangsta's Paradise". That was
/{{Coolio}}.

* "Komodo (Save A Soul)" is not by Music/{{Enigma}} or Music/{{Enya}}. That's Mauro Picotto featuring an uncredited female singer, and [[SampledUp sampling up]] Deep Forest's "Sweet Lullaby".
