Songs often attributed to the wrong artist


For example, "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin is often misattributed to Cat Stevens.

"Ugly Girl" is often misattributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic, along with a billion other songs.

What are some other examples of this?

Ugh, well they are idiots. Chapin and Cat sounded nothing like each other.

Probably left over from the napster/livewire days when so many songs were labeled with the wrong artists.

No, just never thought anyone would have thought Cat Stevens did it.

I suppose Like a Rolling Stone is by the Stones and Green Eyed Lady is by Al Green.

"Smoke Two Joints" was not written by Bob Marley.

Sentenced covering "The Trooper" is widely mislabeled on fileshares as Children of Bodom.
