Are there any songs that you had mistakenly thought were sung by a differeng singer than the one that actually sung them?

For the longest time, I thought that Christina Aguilera did Evacuate The Dance Floor.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

For a long while, I thought a lot of the Survivor tunes which had Dave Bickler on lead vocals were Journey songs. They sound unusually similar.

The only exception is "Eye of the Tiger", mostly because nobody ever remembers who did it, but they know it wasn't Journey.

I kept hearing this song called "Since You've Been Gone" on classic rock radio and thought it was probably by REO Speedwagon or something. It turns out it was actually Rainbow - the much poppier sound and non-Dio vocalist threw me off a lot.

When I first heard Kill Hannah's "Kennedy" on the radio I thought it was a new Garbage song. The weird part is that Kill Hannah doesn't even have a female vocalist.

Yeah, "Since You've Been Gone" is another one. I thought it was Foreigner, because whoever replaced Dio sounded incredibly similar to Lou Gramm.

I always thought Even Flow was by Godsmack, The Pretender was by Steriogram, and It's Been Awhile was by Sugar Ray.

Yeah, Jason Kreis ain't exactly a soccer star.

It was mainly the names, but I remember how at first I didn't know the difference between The Who and The Guess Who. I think even once I started sorting out who was who *

, I was somewhat clinging to the idea that there was some sort of connection between the two beyond similar names.
