** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRhg2zvalXc "The Last Stand"]], a song about the Swiss Guards' defence of the Pope during the 1527 Sacking of Rome by (Protestant) troops from Germany, has sometimes been misinterpreted as a song about the Crusades (the lyrics for the verses aren't as intelligible as the less-specific chorus). This wouldn't be so much of a problem if Islamophobes didn't adapt this song as one of their anthems. The band's mainstream fandom tends to treat this as either a joke or a FandomEnragingMisconception.

It doesn't help that a [[https://youtu.be/gtbbIB776ks?si=5sjGUVcovx1sXNmc fanmade music video]] with over ''16 million views'' sets the song to footage of a recreation of the Third Crusade, likely adding to the confusion.

** For the Polish fanbase, "40:1" and "Uprising", both being about the Poles' fierce resistance to the Nazis during World War II. Alterntively, "Winged Hussars".

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVWEb-At8yc Bismarck]]" is somehow close to becoming this as well, outside of their album-based songs, primarily due to the effects of the NewbieBoom entry above. As of March 2023, the video for the song is the band's most viewed at approximately 85.3 Million.

** Fans of Wargaming titles such as ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarships'' are often fans of Sabaton as well, and Sabaton have had several songs appear in Wargaming videos. It doesn't hurt they have a playable unit in ''World of Tanks'': their tank (named "Primo Victoria" after their debut album) is a rare premium that almost never goes on sale, being the first unique 3D camo tank (wearing Joakim's stage armor no less!) that includes voiceovers from Joakim himself.
