I've never met anyone who confuses any of these songs.
Fun fact:
Bohemian rhapsody is not by Kanye west
wait? he didn't make beehemiahn rapcity?
@@tomlastname85 no bohemian rhapsody was by queen not yeezy
@@ericaburns8652 i know i was just making a joke
OMFG!
kanye only seems to cover things, like the one time i was like wtf happened to this daft punk song, and someone was like this is kanye, wow way to mess up a good song
Next your gonna tell me Elton John didn’t sing old town road
Then he’s gonna tell us that slipknot didn’t sing country roads
You mean Hatsune Maku didn’t sing Ziggy stardust
You mean Madonna didn't sing girls just wanna have fun
This sounds like a jojo reference
Elton John is too old to sing a stupid song like that, plus it's not even from the same genre of music.
Next your gonna tell me that Under pressure wasn't done by Vanilla Ice.
No, but they stole the beat from Vanilla ice.
Nah, we let the courts do that
@Squre Lol, no they didn't, Under Pressure was originally by Queen. And then like tons or rap artists, he re-used it for his song "ice, Ice, Baby".
@@coolkidbradude7745 dude, you...
@@coolkidbradude7745 if you listen to it the beat is a little different, so it's not the same.
Let's not forget there were 3 songs called "Creep" in the top 40 at the same time.
i know radiohead and stone temple pilots, which was the 3rd?
@@cct4388 TLC
@@Diesel257 thanks
I personally liked Radiohead's the best even though I like more STP music overall.
@@jessietijerina2121 Me too but unfortunately it makes me think of my worst ex girlfriend which ruins it.😆
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" is about ten words too short for a Fall Out Boy song title.
They are actually similar bands honestly
“I Write Sins Not Tragedies is about ten words too short for a Fall Out Boy song title”- by Fall Out Boy.
IKR, Fall Out Boy has song named "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song so We Wouldn't Get sued", so yeah! who confuses the two.
But “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off” could be by either if you aren’t well-versed in those bands.
That could be a FOB Song Title 😂
No one can deny that AC/DC sung ‘Don’t go breaking my heart’
LOL!
Haha!
I couldn't if I tried.
Nope not can people deny that Def Leppard sang Unchained Melody
Hahahaha
I mistakenly confused this list with something that was worth watching.
hahahahahahhaha
Ikr
You have to watch it first, before you decide if it is any good or not, it is a stupid list.
EVW 🤣🤣😂😂😂 you win.
hey Joe The Leaves
"We won't include bands that covered the song later"
"Weezer actually covered the song later..."
I think it meant bands that recorded a cover of the song. weezer did the song live a couple times as a joke because of everyone thinking it was their song
@@chrisstorms7511 WatchMojo consistently breaks the rules set up before the list.
Does Weezer do anything except as a joke anymore?
Did anyone not working for Mojo really think that sounds like Rivers Cuomo?
I always thought "Don't worry be happy" was written and sung by the singing Fish, hanging on a wooden plate at the wall... 🤔
😂😂😂
Lol!
😂😂
Moron
You thought it was sung by a f@#$ing fish
This entire list is a "WTF, who thinks THAT?!"
I mean, up until today i thought bitch was done by alanis morissette /shrug
I KNOW!!! I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS LIST!!
The number 10 was the only one I was like huh ok I didn’t know that.
The only one that got me was The Warrior because I think I have actually heard it attributed to Pat Benetar several times and not had much reason to question it.
Number 9 was me. 😂😂😂
Missing from this list:
"Symphony No. 5 in C Minor" ~Ludwig van Beethoven NOT Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Huh? Walter Murphy made a fifth of Beethoven... who else?
Ssrrapper, You won inernet this week :D
Back to the Future theme by Alan Silvestri, NOT by John Williams.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone fuck that up, I'd be retired by now.
@ssrrapper OMG right??
This list had 3 types of songs: 1. Songs I knew well enough that I already knew who sang them. 2. Songs I didn’t know well enough to have a preconceived notion as to the singer and 3. Songs that made me go “what?? Who in the heck could think they did that song???”
Same for me.
I agree.
1:02 - "Also if this miss credited artist worked on the song or covered it afterwards, like Mott the Hoople "All the Young Dudes" it won't be on this list either."
6:00 - "Weezer added to the confusion by also covering the song..."
---
Why bother having rules? lol
it wasn't an official released cover, it was only at the one concert
@@christopherdonahue2398, right on.
Did they say "official released cover"? Or just "....covered it afterwards....."
rules are meant to be bent sometimes
I'm pretty sure just about no one thought Creep was done by Nirvana.
I know right
If so, they don't remember the 90s.
literally NO ONE lol
I did when I heard it on the radio the other day. I just never listened to STP and the vocals are insanely similar to Cobain's. I was pretty sure it wasn't a nirvana song because I'd never heard it before but it just sounded so similar.
If you are an STP fan or a Nirvana fan you never mixed it up
You guys ever heard Stealing Society by System of a Down? I could've sworn that was Ariana Grande.
Yeah Ariana does seem like the type of person to sing about crack pipes, needles, pcp and fast cars.
And when she gets to talking she never be wrong.
That’s funny because I always thought One Last Time was sung by Serj Tankian. Coincidence? 🤔
I've never met a single person who thinks Bob Marley sang "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
When u look it up it says that
I don't know how #1 ended up being the most ridiculous of them all, but it was. People know Bobby McPharen only for that song. SMH
Especially since Bob was dead for over a decade before DWBH was released
Bob Marley died in 1981... you’d have to be pretty dense to think he sang that 🤦🏻♀️
@@rubygirl214 Unless you’re just not familiar with his history. I always assumed it was Bob Marley before I saw a sketch about Bobby McFerrin and Michael Winslow which led to me researching the two of them and needless to say, I was blown away. Also can’t deny the fact that search results and view counts speak to the fact that A LOT of people believe it was sung by Bob Marley.
I grew up in the 90's, and I don't recall anyone confusing these songs. They were all extremely well known. Not only by their name, but by the artist's voice. So, who were these people that were confused? It had to be kids that didn't grow up in the 90's. No one from my generation would ever confuse Scott Weiland with Kurt Cobain. No one.
I probably would because I didn't listen to either of those talent less bands back then.
Any 90's teen worth their salt knows damned well the difference between Kurt and Scott!!!!, And All 4 One sounds nothing like Boyz||Men.
soulcrusher807 talentless? Surely you're on crack! Generation X baby!🤘😎🤘
I agree that people who grew up in the 90's knew the differences between Nirvana,STP, Boyz 2 Men,All 4 One, Weezer, & Wheatus.
soulcrusher807 and which of your talentless bands would you consider talented?
People obviously think that bob Marley sang smells like teen spirit.
Wait... He didn't? Next you're going to tell me that Weezer didn't sing American Idiot.
Mark Palmer No, Smells like teen spirit was a collaboration of Bob Dylan, Amy Winehouse, They Might Be Giants, and John Lennon, idiot
Yea whatever, next thing you know you're gonna say Slipknot didn't do Nookie. Pfffft GTFO!
@@socialmedia4637 i loved it when they sang Break stuff.
So you're saying that Queen didn't sing gucci gang?
Absolutely NO-ONE thinks Stuck In The Middle is Bob Dylan ...
Maybe people who've had their ear cut off.
Badap-CHINGGG! I'm here all night folks.
it’s a parody of bob dylan’s music and how he kinda sold out by using electronic instruments or some shit
Maybe the Steve Miller Band but sure as hell not Bob Dylan...
I used to think it was Paul McCartney and wings for the longest time, never once thought it was Dylan.
"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am" - Bob Dylan
We forget that stacys mom was so heavily mistaken for a bowling for soup song that bowling for soup had to cover it
Considering that the theme songs for both Jimmy Neutron and Phineas And Ferb were performed by Bowling For Soup it’s easy to see why
Covering a song that is widely misattributed to you, especially when you were a more popular band to begin with, is a massive dick move.
"Which songs do you most often think are by someone else?"
Well, we wouldn't know, would we?
amydoesthings 😂😂😂
amydoesthings 👏🏻
Love it! Too effin' funny!
:D
amydoesthings is anything maybe im the one should be on this list bc everyone thinks its by nirvana but its by puddle of mudd
I have a hard time thinking anyone would think Creep is Nirvana. Scott might be singing in a similar style as Kurt's norm, but the voices are too different to mistake that. R.I.P. Scott and Kurt. And Chris Cornell.
T L S wait, Chris Cornell?! What happened to him??
He thought the noose was too pretty
Right? I can actually understand the words.
T L S I used to think Creep was by Nirvana when I downloaded it off Limewire when I was like 13 lolol
Never thought Nirvana sung Creep. I guess I was at a disadvantage. Cuz I was old enuff 2 remember the music video when the song 1st came out... Back when MTV used 2 stand 4 music television
Apparently I'm too old for this list. I didn't confuse any of these.
Allison Ross no one does it's a shit list
*"Remember when my drunk friend was trying to remember who sung "the song" they are singing/thinking of before the internet, the list"*
No we don't quite simply, my friends where musicians.
Allison Ross I agree!!
@Deniji2006: I'd go a step further. As I've been saying it all over the comments, but we older folks SHOULD be the ones who frequently mixed up song artists. We ingested a higher percentage of our music by hearing it on the radio and/or at public establishments. If we heard a song we liked, we didn't have Shazam to identify it. Radio jocks had to be reminded to credit the songs/artists when playing them - the "if you play it, say it" signs come to mind.
Contrast that to today, when many radios and pretty much 100 percent of music players have a display that tells you what the song is. People get a higher percentage of their music through some digital means (including UA-cam itself), all of which tells you who you're listening to. To be honest, I actually envy the millennial crowd in this regard. But the whole "I was born after XX, so of course I don't know" argument, which appears up and down these comments, simply doesn't hold water.
You and me both. All this did was bug me.
I’ve never heard of anyone mixing up America and Neil young
Plush by STP is more likely to be wrongly attributed to Pearl Jam, rather than Creep to Nirvana.
It sounds like Neil Young for a few bars, and that’s it. Anyone who was confused for a few seconds realized that they were wrong a few seconds later. It was a huge hit, like you say, everyone knew it was America.
I did.
I did too
i mixed them up
Wheatus really sounds exactly nothing like Weezer.
nah I totally confused them once but i was like 11
I confused them to lol
I can understand if people confused it for Simple Plan (kinda), but definitely not Weezer???
not gonna lie the chorus is pretty damn legit though, catchy.
Eh. They're both power-pop bands that do the quiet-loud Pixies song structures...But yeah, the lead singer sounds more like the guy from Coheed and Cambria.
"weezer and wheatus had similar vocal styles" yeah no
Weezer is actually good
They similarly share a “w” in their name that’s about it.
The person in-charge here of making the list has no knowledge at all about music. Nirvana confused as STP and yes Weezer and Wheatus? WTF!!!
@Nathan Lentine: But who said Wheatus was good? No one older _than_ a teenager should have any business listening to that song.
I thought Wheatus would have been confused for Blink-182 not Weezer
I thought they meant Creep as in Radiohead
same
Thought the same thing
Well, guess what? Radiohead did get sued for 'Creep', it used elements from 'The Air That I Breathe'.
I could see that more than Nirvana.
@@antoniasalinas513 yes but that song isnt called creep so
Next you're gonna tell me Milli Vanilli didn’t sing ''Girl You Know It's True''
Im so done
🤣🤣
I f*ing hate you.
And what did they actually sing?
I can't imagine ANYONE thinking Teenage Dirtbag was sung by Weezer.
I did lmao
I did
The musical style and lyrics sound like something Weezer would make, but the vocals sound nothing like Rivers Cuomo. The vocals almost sound like they were sung by a woman.
Limewire had us all thinking weird shit. My Own Worst Enemy was always marked as Blink 182.
Honestly, I thought it was a Female Vocalist when I heard Teenage Dirtbag. They Don't even sound anything like weezer. I knew they were wheatus when they said it on The Radio.
Any song parody is automatically attributed to Weird Al Yankovic.
Or John Valby. Usually if it's dirty it's credited to Valby.
Living in a Amish paradises
@@Money_Shot-j8u or Bob Rivers
@@davincent98 true.
Like Enter Napster. I always thought it was Weird Al.
Weezer have jokingly covered Wheatus' teenage dirtbag for years at live gigs. I saw them at Reading Festival in the UK in 2010 where they did it. They introduced it as "their biggest hit"
awesome
Its a good song, and it does sound like them. I'm sure they wish they'd wrote it. Dave Mustaine said he wished he had written Enter Sandman.
They were pretty much doing it to point out that Wheatus sounds nothing like Weezer.
Hearing impairment is a family trait for me but i can hear the significant difference between the vocals between Scott and Kurt
When Plush came out by Stone Temple Pilots, David Spade had a joke at the time that said " Stone Temple Pilots, oh yeah. I really like this group the first time, when they were called Pearl Jam.".
Michael Kline dude they sound exactly the same
I was born in 2005 so I didn’t really know a whole about some of the bands around before me so I thought plush was made be Pearl Jam cuz of the “similar” vocal styles and sound instrumentally
Really though these two bands were out at the same time...both had debut albums in the VERY early 90’s, and they truly aren’t alike in my opinion. Maybe vocally, but that was grunge! ✌️
@@sugaredviolets2085 True, and with Pearl Jam coming out first('91), everyone got the joke at the time that the vocal on Plush('92) was kinda similar, but that was where the similarities ended.
Except you can decipher Plush's vocals much easier.
Who the fuck thinks Teenage Dirtbag is by Weezer?
ya his voice is way to high pitched
I know right.
James Lyndon the only logical explanation is that their names start off sounding the same
Hell fucking no
nobody
Speaking of confusion of female rockers who sang the Warrior, it was NOT Patti "Smith"; it was Patty Smyth!
Scandal also had a minor hit with "Goodbye to You". Patty would also score a hit duet with Don Henley ("Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough")
@@Alsebra You're correct, you spelled it the way it's pronounced, a “long i” as in _I._ They pronounced it wrong in the vid.
Pat Benatar is the inspiration behind one of my cats names... Cat Benatar! My other cat is Catsquatch
I didn't realise anyone thought Creep was by Nirvana
Patrick Dudemaister Negative Creep is though
Slegendary Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more
Thewise one We're talking about Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
Different "Creep". STP's "Creep" does sound a lot like Nirvana, to be honest.
I did at one point
Watch mojo: we wont be listing any bands that ended up covering the song.
Also watch mojo: weezer ended up covering the song teenage dirtbag...
I noticed this the first time I watched it and had to listen to the rules at the beginning again.
Well, Weezer had no part in writing the song. Remember the part where they said if an band or artist helped make the song AND THEN covered it later, it wouldn't count?
That's classic for this channel.
Jesus Christ.
They didn't list Weezer, they showed part of the reason they get confused with Wheatus.
Wheatus is the band listed.
@@InkAndPoet he said OR covered it later
All of these should instead be song parodies mistakenly attributed to Weird Al.
What, aren't all song parodies written by Weird Al?
"we're not going to include covers" *includes cover*
Exactly what I was thinking when I got to Wheatus
I think only the people at WatchMojo were confused , not everyone else.
This should have been called "10 Songs By Artists That Sort-Of Sound Like Other Artists"
Ben Plummer although a stretch the only one I could understand MAYBE was the America Neil Young one but thats only if you werent paying attention
Ben Plummer agreed
Which is normally the case with these clowns. I think half the time they just make it up as they go just to have content.
Completely agree. Not one of the songs had any significant similarities. Watch Mojo is just running out of TOP ten ideas!
NEVER Confused ANY OF THESE
CONGRATS!!!! 😃 YOU WIN THE GAME!!
yeah, same. I don't know how people do. not once did the other artists come to mind when the songs played.
Same too. And don't worry deeingalaplike and ChrisJ Fox, I already told my friends and know I won the game. Sounds like y'all are salty cuz you did fuck these up... hmmmm....
Tharen Callanan lol not salty in the slightest...I just happen to know of people that did. Not everyone is as immersed in certain types of music to know better
Anyone else lose all faith in humanity while watching this?
Yep! If people actually think these things, they know NOTHING about music. NOTHING!!!!
try the best rock harmonies.... where they consistently call Layne Staley Layne Stanley. How horribly disrespectful.
@@shannoncopeland4506 Yah some of these could have made some sense but others were just absurd. Like I had no idea anyone thought Stuck in the middle with you was by bob Dylan, its cleary not him. I also dont know how you mistake Rupert holmes with jimmy buffet. Im not a fan of either but I can tell they arent the same damn person at all.
You just described every WatchMojo list
Seeing Robin Williams in that last clip made me cry. He was so amazing!
At least Harry Anderson is still alive!
who tf thought creep was by Nirvana
Elijha Jefferson people
i know right lol
NadiGotJokes I know, it's just weird to me because I've always known the difference
Elijha Jefferson 💀i never herd of them until now
NadiGotJokes classic band, I mean they have a song called interstate love song that you've probably heard
Here is another honorable mention. Ready For The World - "Oh Sheila" is the most Prince sounding song Prince had NOTHING to do with. While Prince wrote and produced gads of hits and albums for other artists, he had nothing to do with this Number one song from 1985 that has always been described as "In the style of Prince." And to add to the confusion, Prince's protege who was hot in 1985, Sheila E., was thought to be the inspiration for this "Prince" song.
George, careful, you're being more informative about the topic than this video was.
Actually, Oh Sheila would be a better pick for the #1 spot and drop the McFerrin/Marley BS off the list entirely.
Who the F thinks Marley sang Don't Worry Be Happy?
Evryone
Me :/
Me
🎵Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing
Cause every little thing's gonna be alright🎶
@@toyadiinae9800 not the same song...
Absolutely no one has confused any of these artists/songs.
For the most part I agree with you, with one exception. I was at trivia night at a local bar where part one of the rounds was to name the artist of the song being played. One night one of the songs was Creep by STP and the "correct" answer given by the guy doing the trivia was that is was by Nirvana. The entire bar went into an uproar. I couldn't believe it.
I have been guilty of several of them.
i have confused a few of them
who tf thought teenage dirtbag was by weezer that sounds literally nothing like them
Phoebe Mortensen I agree. People don't pay attention I guess.
i guess not haha. but ive been guilty of mixing up stuff like this so i guess if you dont know weezer at all you might.
I am a Weezer fan and i know that song by this list...
Phoebe Mortensen Wheetus!! one hit wonders
Phoebe Mortensen The instrumental sounds incredibly similar so yes it does.
Sometimes I forget that I hate stupid clickbait lists, but then a watchmojo top ten reminds me why
no shit...stupid.
Yep
Never knew anyone who thought 'Horse With No Name' was by Neil Young.
And ditto for 'Stuck in the Middle With You'. Dylan? Get real.
+Philip Gior I'm embarrassed to say when I was in my early 20's I thought Horse With No Name was by Neil Young and had to be corrected by a compassionate friend...
That one was me. I totally thought it was Neil.
Hanging my head in shame...
I admit that I have actually always believed it was Neil Young. Gladly, that is the only one on this list I had completely wrong.
If anyone doesn't know "don't worry be happy" isn't from Bob Marley... I'm amazed. I was born in north idaho in the early 80s and have known that since the early 90's!
I saw the Kurt cobain thumbnail and I was like "I'm clicking"
No one cares
Josh Fallon same bro n I'm black
***** and I dont care what you or anyone else thinks
I wanted to know where this Kurt Cobain mistake came from!
Jay Freeman Why the black reference. Does your race reference has something do with Kurt Cobain?
We all are humans after all :)
Number 11: What's Up - 4 Non Blondes (Not He-Man)
goat comment
4 non blondes?! Its not by 1 blonde man?
Who the fuck is He-Man? Besides a god damn action figure
Hoff1282 yes, the action figure. There's a video called "Fabulous Secret Powers" that syncs clips from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe with a cover of the song.
Yeah... no one thinks this.
No one has EVER mistaken Scott Weiland's singing for Kurt Cobain... unless you were on some seriously heavy drugs. His vocals are deeper and rougher than Kurt's.
Yes! When I saw that on the list, I was briefly confused. I never thought "Creep" was by Nirvana... sure the voices are slightly similar. I would understand if someone new to both bands made this kind of mistake, but if you had thoroughly gotten into each band, it's quite obvious that "Creep" is not by Nirvana.
Agreed. I like Scott's voice much more than Cobain's.
Sadly, I once had a guy who became enraged when I told him STP sang "Creep" and not Nirvana. I figured ignorance was going to win. Had someone else tell me "Would?" by Alice in Chains was Nirvana. I guess Nirvana got several credits for songs by people who didn't listen to them.
joyk727 It's easier than you think even without being under the influence. Somewhere out there are listeners who don't have your fine ear.
I've confused them. Easy. They all sound like dogshit.
Way back in the day, I'm kinda old, when Stone Temple Pilots first were known, people mistaken them for Pearl Jam, not Nirvana?!?!
Also yes I thought "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was a Fallout Boy song, my daughter flipped out on me, cuz she loves her Panic! At The Disco!! Don't make their fans mad, geez! 😬
kurt cobain in thumbnail is more clickbait than semi nude pictures
I agee
Seth but nirvana were one of the picks..
Agreed, the thumbnail gave me feels so I clicked.
same, couldnt resist. my brain said to me " dont click on this video, you dont care about the topic" but my fingers already clicked. its a reflex ;-;
Seth I agree
Who in the hell confused STP for Nirvana?
Just the idiots at WatchMojo
SD5 obviously. 😂
Wasn't it Pearl Jam that SOME people would confuse them for?
@Christopher Bingham Now way dude, STP sounds way more like Nirvana both guitar and vocals. Eddie Vedder mumbles half intelligible lyrics. STP you can sing along, like Nirvana unplugged, they do 2 Meat puppet songs, Everyone still thinks Curt wrote them, he even says " now we are going to do some Meat Puppet songs", but everyone ignored that.
I often confuse Rod Stewart's vocals with the sound of a dying badger being dragged down a gravel road. Or with Kim Carnes for that matter.
LMAO...fuck...I'm dead. That is a very accurate description.
What about Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean? Everyone confuses that with Black Sabbath
David Weber thank u!! That gave me a really big LOL!!! 😁
LOFL. You rule.
True story... When I first heard that Caribbean Queen was NOT a Sabbath song, I was shocked. They sound exactly the same.
Haha yup that's Ozzy hehe😂
I spit out my coffee when I read this.
Summary of this video: Gangnam Style by Psy, NOT Eminem.
Kyle Dechau WAT i was like 90% sure Elvis sung that
Boi eminem don't sing dat shitty pop
Ever heard of something called "irony"...?
the diamond king blurp r/whoosh
Lmao, what a fucking idiot
cobain's voice is so iconic how did people mess this up
Caleb Buerger and Scott Weiland was a much better singer
Weiland was a singer, Cobain was a screamer!!!
Clearly you've never watched Unplugged. Weiland couldn't hold a candle to Cobain.
The Contingency Plan I've watched unplugged Kurt definitely a weaker singer
Caleb Buerger Yes Weiland is far better vocalist and the first 2 Stone Temple Pilots albums are way better than any Nirvana album.

You missed "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. Everybody thinks it is Nickleback. See, I can make up dumb stuff too.
MarklarsonTube Dammit! I really thought it was Nickelback!
Wait... what??? It's not? *Mind. Blown*
I'm still mad about what you said in the comments about Nickelback!!
-TJ
I thought it was by J.S. Bach!!!1!!
Nickelback are an utter joke.
LOL "tell us what songs do YOU think are by someone else" Well if I think it's by someone else, that means by default I'm not aware that I'm wrong no??
Excellent point. lol
If you thought Creep was Nirvana... drink Bleach. (pun intended)
Well played. Took me a second.
EQOAnostalgia What pun...?
Jah Rastafari you're obviously not a nirvana fan, but bleach was the name of their first album
still not really a pun
Actually I did a long time ago and here's why:
How they described it in the video was exactly why I mistook it at the time.
I got into rock/grunge late. About 10 years later after it blew up on the scene, so as I was getting acclimated to it and discovering artists and songs for the first time, I came across the song mistitled, "Half the man I used to be" by Nirvana on an MP3 in the late 90's. For years I thought that's what it was. It wasn't until I started listening to STP albums about 10 years later when I discovered the mistake.
Who has ever thought Creep was not by STP? I’ll admit that when they first came in the scene, they reminded many of Pearl Jam, but that ended quickly when they became one of the most popular bands in the world.
i did
You want some REALLY confusing songs/artists? Everything by Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. I can't tell them apart.
That all depends who you're a fan of or listen to more.
For me it's BSB and I can always distinguish Nick's voice from Justin's even if one song from each band is played back to back. That took time to get there, though as both were practically rivals during that time.
Its simple, Backstreet has Backstreets back and I want it that way, everything else is NSYNC
Neither can i
Thanks to idiots on Napster, I thought "A Horse With No Name" was by Cream, "Stuck in the Middle" was by The Grateful Dead, and "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" was by Barry Manilow.
Shorty Longstrokin LOL!!!! Thank you, I needed that laugh tonight. 😃
Thanks to Napster, for years I thought Paint It Black was by The Doors till I got older and started actually listening to The Doors music. 😂😂
DAMN!!! LMAO!!
I can't even confuse America for Cream. America were like an acoustic driven folk-rock band while Cream were proto-hard rock psychedelic blues rock.
Who The Heck thinks *"I Write Sins Not Tragedies"* Is By FOB???
That Name Is Too Freaking Short To Be A Fall Out Boy Song--
Well "immortals" is a fall out boy song with a short title
@@animalfauna9350 Shush, Mortal.
I thought that "Walking on a Dream" was by MGMT for 5 years. I also thought that Panic at the Disco, Falling in Reverse, and Fall Out Boy were the same band for a little while.
I thought it was MGMT until 2 months ago. Glad I’m not the only one!
I could see "Creep" being Alice in Chains, but not Nirvana in a thousand years.
Yes. I would have thought Plush would be the song on that list. Everyone that it was Pearl Jam. I was pretty pissed as a teen to listen to that whole Ten album and then found out I had the wrong band!
I agree, not too long ago i was looking everywhere for plush on my spotify and forgot it wasn't pearl jam, so I couldn't find it
When I first heard creep, totally thought it was Nirvana.
Yeah, Scott sounds absolutely nothing like Kurt, so I don't get this one. Really the entire list until 2 makes no sense to me
AllMusic's review of STP's first album Core referred to "Creep" as a song that works as anything from Alice In Chains' Sap EP.
I thought everyone knew horse with no name was by America...
How do people get stuck in the middle wrong!!!
Me to
when i was young and heard horse with no name for the first time i thought it was Crosby Stills Nash and Young.....
What's sad is they must not know the band, so they're out there living their lives without Ventura Highway or Sister Golden Hair.
I thought Young was in America, at one point. Sure I read it too. At least I think I did. Not sure of anything anymore :'(
Uh, STP was confused for Pearl Jam, not Nirvana! The song was Plush.
NeilHolmes72 that’s what remember too
I won’t lie. The first time I heard Plush, I thought it was Pearl Jam.
My friends punishment anytime he got in trouble was to learn a song by of his dad's choice and surprisingly plush was the hardest apparently
When I was younger I thought even flow was stone temple pilots
Nah Iduntolja the DeLeo Brothers used lots of jazz improv tricks in the crafting of the songs. It would be a more intermediate choice
Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis. Often attributed to Bruce Springsteen
Housemartins - Bow Down (Not the Smiths)
Michael Sembello - Maniac. Maybe you can blame the filesharing sites but it is often attributed to Hall & Oates
WAaaaTT!!!!! I thought all of these were DARUDE Sandstorm!!!
Handsome guy Ha, how fucking funny, im actually laughing my ass off ha ha ha ha
Handsome guy my thoughts as well
Handsome guy A man of culture
WTF?!? LOL!!!!!!!
Handsome guy ur like 2 years late with that shitty joke
Sees Horse with no Name
Me : Screams
Mystic liverbird *sees inappropriate possessive verb (which is not even possible) and shudders.*
Lynnie Shaw then tell me the correct verb Mr. My-10th-grade-grammar-book
I'm sorry if you can listen to wheatus and think that guy sounds anything like rivers cuomo, I just don't know what to say.
i know right.. Cuomo has such a better and more distinctive voice
and all the others too... bobby mc farin and marley'? no not at all
Right? LIke anybody could mistake a good singing voice for Weezer.
I always thought the lead singer of wheatus was a woman.
The success of Regina's "Baby Love" from 1986 was said to be based on the thought that Regina was Madonna or that Madonna was associated with the hit. Have you heard about this before? Another time I tried to ask a musician about how to find a song that was not from her but it sounded similar to her. I later discovered thanks to UA-cam that Marco Polo and J Davey released "Relax" sampled from Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation.". I am still trying to live that down.
WHAT??!! You have to be almost deaf to think that Creep is a Nirvana song. Scott voice sounds so different to Kurt's.
Scott?
* Scott's?
Seth Walton Scott weiland, stone temple pilots has a song called creep too
To this day "Creep" is still labeled as "Half the man I used to be" by Nirvana on UA-cam and on the Internet. I was fooled by it too at first. In the songs it does kinda sound like Cobain
Grungie Lucy EXACTLY THEY SOUND SO FUCKING DIFFERENT!
Horse With No Name is more like Neil Young than Neil Young is.
Also, how hard is it to name a fuckin' horse?
You forgot to add "The Man who Sold the World" by David Bowie. There's actually a story where a girl walked up to David after a concert and told him "I think it's cool that your covering Nirvana songs," to which he replied "fuck you." Nirvana's cover of that song often was mistaken as the original.
you had me at "fuck you ... "
It was a great cover but if they actually watched the Unplugged In New York special, Kurt actually says it was a Bowie song.
This isn't a list about covers though. They have a separate list for song that people don't know are covers.
This is list of bands or singers who sound like other artists. They got the STP/Nirvana one wrong. Everyone thought they were Pearl Jam
News flash for you, Bowies version is also a cover.
Love this channel
Any Pat Benatar fan would never confuse her voice with any one else.
Um nobody ever thought that "Creep" was a Nirvana song.
no......
...but they thought "Half the Man I Used to Be" was a Nirvana song, because they knew that Creep was by Radiohead.
BayviewFinch so far as I recall Radiohead did have a song called creep, however STP did have a song by the same name on their first album, before Radiohead were around
Nope. Actually the Radiohead song came out first, but a few weeks. And Radiohead had been around for awhile by that point.
I wouldn't put it by some people.
Everybody born after the 60s think "Surf City" (by Jan @& Dean) is sung by The Beach Boys.
And since this is such a famous song, it should have made the list.
Albert van den Berg This is a better candidate than anything on the list.
WatchMojo probably didn't include "Surf City" because Beach Boy Brian Wilson co-wrote it (with Jan) then essentially gifted it to Jan & Dean. But you're right: even people who lived in the 60s get that one wrong, too.
All in all, it makes more sense for older fans to mistake artists, or get the wrong titles, because they did a higher percentage of their listening through radio or clubs, which were less likely to credit the songs. ("If you play it, say it" was a common sticker in radio booths.) It's also probably why older listeners are worse at knowing the correct titles (think how many classic rock air jocks have heard someone ask "can you play that song 'Teenage Wasteland?'").
Ultimately, there is little to no excuse for younger people to misattribute an artist because a) the exhaustive amount of information available nowadays, and b) that most people obtain their music from some digital service (ranging from satellite radio to iTunes to UA-cam itself). These services always provide the song title, artist, label, writer, year, etc.
Probably because no one born after the 80s really cares about "Surf City". I'm sure you could find some, but I doubt you could find many.
@EOF: haha yeah, very good point. Probably hard to find people who have even heard of it. As you said, some but not many.
I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed but I knew every artist with every song. Guess I just like music. ☮️
That Wheatus song sounds literally nothing like Weezer.
Their voices are nothing alike
I thought these were going to be cover songs of which people didn't know who originally made the song. Not people being oblivious to who's singing the song in the first place.
PandaDares They have a different list for that (I'm not joking about how they always say that, they really do.)
PandaDares like hurt by nine inch nails but covered by Johnny Cash which happened to be more popular
Agreed, and the only song on here that people we hung out with mistook the artist for was Steelers wheel...and we did not think it was Dylan but the Beatles, when it was released we thought it was an unreleased lost track from the fab 4...
Same here. I was expecting to see things like"I Will Always Love You" being originally by Dolly Parton, despite the Whitney Houston cover being infinitely more famous.
PandaDares another example is Torn Natalie Imbruglia
Who the hell mistakes Marley for McFerrin??? You'd have to be absolutely tone deaf, they aren't even remotely close.
LOL.
they are racist for that lol
People who don't listen to that genre...
No one. This guy is just trying to antagonize someone into bitch slapping him.
Ariel Bush No shit, may as well have tried to tell us someone somewhere is confusing Marley with Milli Vanilli
“Long cool woman” THE HOLLIES…
I thought for a long time this was a CCR song.
Good catch. How did they miss that one?
Who the fuck thought Stuck In The Middle With You was Dylan?? It sounds way too poppy to be Bob Dylan
In all fairness, I never thought it was a Dylan song but the vocal style is so similar it's easy to see why.
When I first heard it I thought it was by the Beatles or John Lennon solo.
You want someone else that sounds like Dylan, listen to "A Public Execution" by Mouse & the Traps.
Also, how did they miss "Vehicle" (Ides of March, not Blood Sweat & Tears), "Crazy on You" (Heart, not Jefferson Airplane), and "You're Only Lonely" (JD Souther, not Roy Orbison)?
same here. totally thought it was the beatles
That and Bob Marley had been dead for about 10 years by then.
I always thought The Rolling Stones sang Mmmmbop.
And I thought they sang "High-Fivin' M.F."
Okay, I lied. But I think they should cover it.
Are you serious?! Since when would Mick Jagger sing a teenybopper song? I even remember it, and I was 4!
@@kyliepollert8341 Girl, this guy is joking, and you know it.
@@DTD110865 I know you were!
Dude, stop it.
Love the thumbnail!
PLUSH by Stone Temple Pilots are way easier to confuse with a Pearl Jam band, instead of a Nirvana song
Yes! That's the only one I agree with and it wasn't even on this list!
Unglued sounds more Nirvana than Creep. Also check out Army Ants as a song that sounds very much like Pearl Jam.
RikardoSaul so true.....when UA-cam autoplays plush after pearl jam
I always get Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog confused. I'm really bad with names of songs and bands lol
It fucks everything up that Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) did backup vocals on a couple big Temple of the Dog songs
I understand how some might believe "Creep" is named "Half the Man I Used To Be" upon hearing it. But by Nirvana? Come on people.
I have an ex-girlfriend who always called 'Creep' the 'John Bobbitt Song'.
I know, right? Everyone knows it's by Pearljam! :)
I looked at the description before I got there and I thought of radiohead
Chase Pence nirvana did a cover I'm pretty sure
Another one that I'd like to add is "Kiss me" by Sixpence None The Richer - NOT The Cranberries.
Probably easier to confuse them with the Corrs, to be fair.
I'm so glad to see people making fun of this video. I would feel bad for the person who made this video, but they could have done so much better.
Weezer and Wheatus vocal sounds sound NOTHING ALIKE! Especially on Teenage Dirtbag.
