| I thought for years that Foreigner's "Dirty White Boy" was by some southern rock band like 38 Special. Sounds like southern rock to me anyway. |

| Not songs, but I can never get straight Fifth Angel and Seventh Angel. I'm always calling the one by the other. Thinking about it right now I still can't get it straight.
I've also always had a hard time separating Firehouse from Trixter even though I own several Firehouse discs and no Trixter. I also always want to call the band Firehose - Firehouse. But I think that maybe because I hate Firehose as a band name. |

| Initially I thought "Keep On Rockin' In The Free World" was by R.E.M. |

Hit the nail on the head for me. Even though I have heard Toadies song Possum Kingdom way too many times on the radio, not once have I heard them mention the name of the artist or the song title to this day. Again, I had no clue as to what the song was called, I just assumed it was some Bad religion tune from the vibe of the song until my buddy showed me otherwise. |

| For a long time I thought Kansas' Play The Game Tonight was a Toto song. |

| I thought Brother Louie by the band Stories was Rod Stewart for decades.
I just found out differently a few years ago. |
