Songs you thought were by someone else

"Gypsy Road" by Cinderella sounds like a dead ringer for a mid-80s AC/DC track with the riff and high-pitched vocals. It even kinda sounds like "Who Made Who".

i keep thinking someday i will treat you good by sparklehorse is a swervedriver song for some reason

Well, these two songs:

Breaking us in Two / Day after Day

When I have no way to find out, got confused if I was hearing the same song, as long as both share the same initial sound.

Then my head turn more to Breaking Us In Two as I become a fan of Joe Jackson works (that song, along with Stepping Out was pure 80 greatness).

Recently, my Spotify spitted out Day After Day again... and I was like... "is not that a cover of Breaking Us in Two?..." no it has pretty different and I learned that it was actually from Badfinger and, after some lines, the songs go diverted ways, musically and lyrically.

And now.. both are stuck in my head like telling me... "Make a mix.. pleaaaaase"

Also, today I just learned that Still the One was made by the band Orleans... until that moment, I thought that song was from the Doobie Brothers... O o

I can sorta see it - when I think about it, somehow the overall "vibe" of the verses of "Someday I Will Treat You Good" is similar to "Last Train To Satansville", one of the few Swervedriver tracks I'm overly familiar with. Could even also be the names of the groups - Portmantitles where they've just mashed two seemingly random words together and the first one starts with "s".

I was just reminded of one I had that was part this, part uh, listener gender confusion - I heard part of "Kennedy" by Kill Hannah on the radio and thought it was a new Garbage song... but Garbage has a female vocalist and Kill Hannah does not.

I first heard "No Easy Way Out" from Beast in Black's cover version on ''From Hell with Love. Didn't know it was Robert Tepper until somebody else sang it at a karaoke night.
