For the past few years, I could've sworn that Hard to Say was a Blues Traveler Song. I just now found out that it's Sister Hazel.

Anyone else have a song they thought was one band, but turned out to be someone entirely different?

Sister Hazel isn't Blues Traveler?

Almost anything done by Earth, Wind & Fire.

And back when I was young and stupid, I thought UB40 actually wrote songs beyond what was on their first album.

No 1 song here at the moment is a remix of Leo Sayer's Thunder In My Heart, I've never heard the song before. I heard the new song on the radio a few times but never heard the DJ say what it was. I thought it was a Freddie Mercury song.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

"The great commandment". I could have sworn it was by Depeche Mode.

If I change my way of living, and if I pave my streets with good times, will the mountain keep on giving…

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I thought it was Better than Ezra, then was reminded that it Deep Blue Something.

That's probably because they released their hits at the same time.

Now I'm left wondering what the hell Better than Ezra released back then that I liked.

The very first time I heard "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes..

I thought AC/DC had sold out.

"Good" was their most successful song. Personally, I prefer "At the Stars."

I don't have one, but every parody song ever written seems to be attributed to Wierd Al Yankovic on the Internet. He's prolific but not that prolific.

Just like every techo/house remix is Moby or Fatboy Slim and every New Age song is Enya.

It's actually pretty funny.
