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
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.
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.
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.
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.
