“Stuck In The Middle With You” by Stealer’s Wheel… or Bob Dylan? As a lonely music nerd, it is one of the few things I am actually good at, and I feel it is my duty as an American to dispel the spread of misinformation at all costs. Just to make things 100% clear, I will link to a Youtube video for each song proving, without a doubt, that said artist did said song. Without further adieu, here are six songs that I see constantly mislabeled, along with the band that actually performed the song.

I am here to clear the omnipresent fog, remove the confusion that has plagued you all for so long.

Apparently I, an obnoxious music nerd, am the only person in the world that cares about labeling songs correctly! IS THAT SO WRONG?īut don’t you worry. Just the other day I had to tell my friend – as politely as possible – that “Black Hole Sun” was not, in fact, recorded by the Stone Temple Pilots. In the age of P2P networks and iTunes, rampant file sharing has made it all the easier to mislabel a song and spread that mistake like wildfire. “It’s the 2000s! The Information Age! We can look up any song lyrics we like in a matter of seconds! Surely this confusion must be extinct!” Man, I would like to believe that, but somehow the internet has just made things worse. Sure, it might sound all innocent and naive, but try to correct these people and they would defend – to the DEATH – that Poison did “Cherry Pie,” or that Neil Young did “A Horse With No Name.” Once someone stamps it into their head that so-and-so band did so-and-so song, it becomes very hard to tell them otherwise. If someone heard “Jack and Diane” over and over and over, they might just convince themselves that it was a new Springsteen song. Back in the old days, it was a common dilemma – listening to the radio, if someone heard a Badfinger song that sounded like the Beatles, they’d easily just assume it was the Beatles. Yet somehow, we tend to be slightly less infallible when it comes to correctly identifying who performed our favorite songs. We’re all human beings, right? We’re hardly infallible creatures.
