Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel amzn.to/2sduUep
Tina and Ike Turner covered it, which they said at the beginning that covers would not be included.
it's "proud Mary"
Most people also think it's call "rolling on a river." It's actually Proud Mary.

I've never met anyone who confuses any of these songs.
Fun fact:
Bohemian rhapsody is not by Kanye west
wait? he didn't make beehemiahn rapcity?
@@tomlastname85 no bohemian rhapsody was by queen not yeezy
@@ericaburns8652 i know i was just making a joke
OMFG!
kanye only seems to cover things, like the one time i was like wtf happened to this daft punk song, and someone was like this is kanye, wow way to mess up a good song
Next your gonna tell me Elton John didn’t sing old town road
Then he’s gonna tell us that slipknot didn’t sing country roads
You mean Hatsune Maku didn’t sing Ziggy stardust
You mean Madonna didn't sing girls just wanna have fun
This sounds like a jojo reference
Elton John is too old to sing a stupid song like that, plus it's not even from the same genre of music.
Next your gonna tell me that Under pressure wasn't done by Vanilla Ice.
No, but they stole the beat from Vanilla ice.
Nah, we let the courts do that
@Squre Lol, no they didn't, Under Pressure was originally by Queen. And then like tons or rap artists, he re-used it for his song "ice, Ice, Baby".
@@coolkidbradude7745 dude, you...
@@coolkidbradude7745 if you listen to it the beat is a little different, so it's not the same.
Let's not forget there were 3 songs called "Creep" in the top 40 at the same time.
i know radiohead and stone temple pilots, which was the 3rd?
@@cct4388 TLC
@@Diesel257 thanks
I personally liked Radiohead's the best even though I like more STP music overall.
@@jessietijerina2121 Me too but unfortunately it makes me think of my worst ex girlfriend which ruins it.😆
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" is about ten words too short for a Fall Out Boy song title.
They are actually similar bands honestly
“I Write Sins Not Tragedies is about ten words too short for a Fall Out Boy song title”- by Fall Out Boy.
IKR, Fall Out Boy has song named "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song so We Wouldn't Get sued", so yeah! who confuses the two.
But “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off” could be by either if you aren’t well-versed in those bands.
That could be a FOB Song Title 😂
No one can deny that AC/DC sung ‘Don’t go breaking my heart’
LOL!
Haha!
I couldn't if I tried.
Nope not can people deny that Def Leppard sang Unchained Melody
Hahahaha
"We won't include bands that covered the song later"
"Weezer actually covered the song later..."
I think it meant bands that recorded a cover of the song. weezer did the song live a couple times as a joke because of everyone thinking it was their song
@@chrisstorms7511 WatchMojo consistently breaks the rules set up before the list.
Does Weezer do anything except as a joke anymore?
Did anyone not working for Mojo really think that sounds like Rivers Cuomo?
This list had 3 types of songs: 1. Songs I knew well enough that I already knew who sang them. 2. Songs I didn’t know well enough to have a preconceived notion as to the singer and 3. Songs that made me go “what?? Who in the heck could think they did that song???”
Same for me.
I agree.
I mistakenly confused this list with something that was worth watching.
hahahahahahhaha
Ikr
You have to watch it first, before you decide if it is any good or not, it is a stupid list.
EVW 🤣🤣😂😂😂 you win.
hey Joe The Leaves
I always thought "Don't worry be happy" was written and sung by the singing Fish, hanging on a wooden plate at the wall... 🤔
😂😂😂
Lol!
😂😂
Moron
You thought it was sung by a f@#$ing fish
I've never met a single person who thinks Bob Marley sang "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
When u look it up it says that
I don't know how #1 ended up being the most ridiculous of them all, but it was. People know Bobby McPharen only for that song. SMH
Especially since Bob was dead for over a decade before DWBH was released
Bob Marley died in 1981... you’d have to be pretty dense to think he sang that 🤦🏻♀️
@@rubygirl214 Unless you’re just not familiar with his history. I always assumed it was Bob Marley before I saw a sketch about Bobby McFerrin and Michael Winslow which led to me researching the two of them and needless to say, I was blown away. Also can’t deny the fact that search results and view counts speak to the fact that A LOT of people believe it was sung by Bob Marley.
Pat Benatar is the inspiration behind one of my cats names... Cat Benatar! My other cat is Catsquatch
Missing from this list:
"Symphony No. 5 in C Minor" ~Ludwig van Beethoven NOT Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Huh? Walter Murphy made a fifth of Beethoven... who else?
Ssrrapper, You won inernet this week :D
Back to the Future theme by Alan Silvestri, NOT by John Williams.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone fuck that up, I'd be retired by now.
@ssrrapper OMG right??
This entire list is a "WTF, who thinks THAT?!"
I mean, up until today i thought bitch was done by alanis morissette /shrug
I KNOW!!! I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS LIST!!
The number 10 was the only one I was like huh ok I didn’t know that.
The only one that got me was The Warrior because I think I have actually heard it attributed to Pat Benetar several times and not had much reason to question it.
Number 9 was me. 😂😂😂
Seeing Robin Williams in that last clip made me cry. He was so amazing!
At least Harry Anderson is still alive!
We forget that stacys mom was so heavily mistaken for a bowling for soup song that bowling for soup had to cover it
Considering that the theme songs for both Jimmy Neutron and Phineas And Ferb were performed by Bowling For Soup it’s easy to see why
Covering a song that is widely misattributed to you, especially when you were a more popular band to begin with, is a massive dick move.
Apparently I'm too old for this list. I didn't confuse any of these.
Allison Ross no one does it's a shit list
*"Remember when my drunk friend was trying to remember who sung "the song" they are singing/thinking of before the internet, the list"*
No we don't quite simply, my friends where musicians.
Allison Ross I agree!!
@Deniji2006: I'd go a step further. As I've been saying it all over the comments, but we older folks SHOULD be the ones who frequently mixed up song artists. We ingested a higher percentage of our music by hearing it on the radio and/or at public establishments. If we heard a song we liked, we didn't have Shazam to identify it. Radio jocks had to be reminded to credit the songs/artists when playing them - the "if you play it, say it" signs come to mind.
Contrast that to today, when many radios and pretty much 100 percent of music players have a display that tells you what the song is. People get a higher percentage of their music through some digital means (including RUclips itself), all of which tells you who you're listening to. To be honest, I actually envy the millennial crowd in this regard. But the whole "I was born after XX, so of course I don't know" argument, which appears up and down these comments, simply doesn't hold water.
You and me both. All this did was bug me.
Who the fuck thinks Teenage Dirtbag is by Weezer?
ya his voice is way to high pitched
I know right.
James Lyndon the only logical explanation is that their names start off sounding the same
Hell fucking no
nobody
I’ve never heard of anyone mixing up America and Neil young
Plush by STP is more likely to be wrongly attributed to Pearl Jam, rather than Creep to Nirvana.
It sounds like Neil Young for a few bars, and that’s it. Anyone who was confused for a few seconds realized that they were wrong a few seconds later. It was a huge hit, like you say, everyone knew it was America.
I did.
I did too
i mixed them up
"we're not going to include covers" *includes cover*
Exactly what I was thinking when I got to Wheatus
I thought they meant Creep as in Radiohead
same
Thought the same thing
Well, guess what? Radiohead did get sued for 'Creep', it used elements from 'The Air That I Breathe'.
I could see that more than Nirvana.
@@antoniasalinas513 yes but that song isnt called creep so
I'm pretty sure just about no one thought Creep was done by Nirvana.
I know right
If so, they don't remember the 90s.
literally NO ONE lol
I did when I heard it on the radio the other day. I just never listened to STP and the vocals are insanely similar to Cobain's. I was pretty sure it wasn't a nirvana song because I'd never heard it before but it just sounded so similar.
If you are an STP fan or a Nirvana fan you never mixed it up
Hearing impairment is a family trait for me but i can hear the significant difference between the vocals between Scott and Kurt
Next you're gonna tell me Milli Vanilli didn’t sing ''Girl You Know It's True''
Im so done
🤣🤣
I f*ing hate you.
And what did they actually sing?
Weezer have jokingly covered Wheatus' teenage dirtbag for years at live gigs. I saw them at Reading Festival in the UK in 2010 where they did it. They introduced it as "their biggest hit"
awesome
Its a good song, and it does sound like them. I'm sure they wish they'd wrote it. Dave Mustaine said he wished he had written Enter Sandman.
They were pretty much doing it to point out that Wheatus sounds nothing like Weezer.
People obviously think that bob Marley sang smells like teen spirit.
Wait... He didn't? Next you're going to tell me that Weezer didn't sing American Idiot.
Mark Palmer No, Smells like teen spirit was a collaboration of Bob Dylan, Amy Winehouse, They Might Be Giants, and John Lennon, idiot
Yea whatever, next thing you know you're gonna say Slipknot didn't do Nookie. Pfffft GTFO!
@@socialmedia4637 i loved it when they sang Break stuff.
So you're saying that Queen didn't sing gucci gang?
Absolutely no one has confused any of these artists/songs.
For the most part I agree with you, with one exception. I was at trivia night at a local bar where part one of the rounds was to name the artist of the song being played. One night one of the songs was Creep by STP and the "correct" answer given by the guy doing the trivia was that is was by Nirvana. The entire bar went into an uproar. I couldn't believe it.
I have been guilty of several of them.
i have confused a few of them
If anyone doesn't know "don't worry be happy" isn't from Bob Marley... I'm amazed. I was born in north idaho in the early 80s and have known that since the early 90's!
Horse With No Name is more like Neil Young than Neil Young is.
Also, how hard is it to name a fuckin' horse?
"weezer and wheatus had similar vocal styles" yeah no
Weezer is actually good
They similarly share a “w” in their name that’s about it.
The person in-charge here of making the list has no knowledge at all about music. Nirvana confused as STP and yes Weezer and Wheatus? WTF!!!
@Nathan Lentine: But who said Wheatus was good? No one older _than_ a teenager should have any business listening to that song.
I thought Wheatus would have been confused for Blink-182 not Weezer
The one that got me was Crazy Thing Called Love. When I was young as a child I always thought it was Elvis.
Same here. This should've been on this list
@@El_Bueno Freddy Mercury was an Elvis fan.That's why he made it sound like the King.
When I was young I used to think Come On Eileen was by Queen mostly because of the singer.
"Lonely is the Night" I have thought for many years that this song was sung by Led Zeppelin
YES!!!
Same
No, that's Billy Squier.
?#%!? Seriously? I guess I do get a certain vocal resemblance, but if you want to hear a Robert Plant soundalike, listen to Lenny Wolf of Kingdom Come. And, by the way, Get it On was not their only good work. Actually, Do You Like It is a great song.
I didn't realise anyone thought Creep was by Nirvana
Patrick Dudemaister Negative Creep is though
Slegendary Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more
Thewise one We're talking about Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
Different "Creep". STP's "Creep" does sound a lot like Nirvana, to be honest.
I did at one point
Speaking of confusion of female rockers who sang the Warrior, it was NOT Patti "Smith"; it was Patty Smyth!
Scandal also had a minor hit with "Goodbye to You". Patty would also score a hit duet with Don Henley ("Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough")
@@Alsebra You're correct, you spelled it the way it's pronounced, a “long i” as in _I._ They pronounced it wrong in the vid.
"On the Darkside" - John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, NOT Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. The Clarence Clemons-esque sax solo had me fooled for years.
John Cafferty got a lot of attention for this one when it came out because of the movie it was attached to
Absolutely one of the two songs I expected to be on this list but wasn't.
I thought that "Walking on a Dream" was by MGMT for 5 years. I also thought that Panic at the Disco, Falling in Reverse, and Fall Out Boy were the same band for a little while.
I thought it was MGMT until 2 months ago. Glad I’m not the only one!
"Which songs do you most often think are by someone else?"
Well, we wouldn't know, would we?
amydoesthings 😂😂😂
amydoesthings 👏🏻
Love it! Too effin' funny!
:D
amydoesthings is anything maybe im the one should be on this list bc everyone thinks its by nirvana but its by puddle of mudd
Any song parody is automatically attributed to Weird Al Yankovic.
Or John Valby. Usually if it's dirty it's credited to Valby.
Living in a Amish paradises
@@Money_Schacht or Bob Rivers
@@davincent98 true.
Like Enter Napster. I always thought it was Weird Al.
“Long cool woman” THE HOLLIES…
I thought for a long time this was a CCR song.
Good catch. How did they miss that one?
The super confusing thing about the "Stuck In The Middle" video, is that the singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty is not even in the video! The guy "singing" in the video is Joe Egan.
I can't imagine ANYONE thinking Teenage Dirtbag was sung by Weezer.
I did lmao
I did
The musical style and lyrics sound like something Weezer would make, but the vocals sound nothing like Rivers Cuomo. The vocals almost sound like they were sung by a woman.
Limewire had us all thinking weird shit. My Own Worst Enemy was always marked as Blink 182.
Honestly, I thought it was a Female Vocalist when I heard Teenage Dirtbag. They Don't even sound anything like weezer. I knew they were wheatus when they said it on The Radio.
Wheatus really sounds exactly nothing like Weezer.
nah I totally confused them once but i was like 11
I confused them to lol
I can understand if people confused it for Simple Plan (kinda), but definitely not Weezer???
not gonna lie the chorus is pretty damn legit though, catchy.
Eh. They're both power-pop bands that do the quiet-loud Pixies song structures...But yeah, the lead singer sounds more like the guy from Coheed and Cambria.
Who has ever thought Creep was not by STP? I’ll admit that when they first came in the scene, they reminded many of Pearl Jam, but that ended quickly when they became one of the most popular bands in the world.
i did
This is my top 20 songs people think are by someone else
20: Be Bop A Lula by Gene Vincent, not Elvis Presley
19: Catch The Wind by Donovan, not Bob Dylan
18: Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheels, not Bob Dylan

who tf thought creep was by Nirvana
Elijha Jefferson people
i know right lol
NadiGotJokes I know, it's just weird to me because I've always known the difference
Elijha Jefferson 💀i never herd of them until now
NadiGotJokes classic band, I mean they have a song called interstate love song that you've probably heard
Anyone else lose all faith in humanity while watching this?
Yep! If people actually think these things, they know NOTHING about music. NOTHING!!!!
try the best rock harmonies.... where they consistently call Layne Staley Layne Stanley. How horribly disrespectful.
@@shannoncopeland4506 Yah some of these could have made some sense but others were just absurd. Like I had no idea anyone thought Stuck in the middle with you was by bob Dylan, its cleary not him. I also dont know how you mistake Rupert holmes with jimmy buffet. Im not a fan of either but I can tell they arent the same damn person at all.
You just described every WatchMojo list
Stuck in the middle sounds more like George Harrison than Bob Dylan
I can see that.
Back in the 80's, I kinda thought "Oh Sheila" was sung by Prince.
Me too..Ready for the world were definitely Prince influenced💜
He might have written it. Not sure.
I looked it up. Not written or sung by Prince. Songwriters: Gerald Valentine / Gordon Strozier / Melvin Riley Jr.
I did too until a few months ago
I did too. I think it's the drum machine that had me confused!
NEVER Confused ANY OF THESE
CONGRATS!!!! 😃 YOU WIN THE GAME!!
yeah, same. I don't know how people do. not once did the other artists come to mind when the songs played.
Same too. And don't worry deeingalaplike and ChrisJ Fox, I already told my friends and know I won the game. Sounds like y'all are salty cuz you did fuck these up... hmmmm....
Tharen Callanan lol not salty in the slightest...I just happen to know of people that did. Not everyone is as immersed in certain types of music to know better
I have a hard time thinking anyone would think Creep is Nirvana. Scott might be singing in a similar style as Kurt's norm, but the voices are too different to mistake that. R.I.P. Scott and Kurt. And Chris Cornell.
T L S wait, Chris Cornell?! What happened to him??
He thought the noose was too pretty
Right? I can actually understand the words.
T L S I used to think Creep was by Nirvana when I downloaded it off Limewire when I was like 13 lolol
Never thought Nirvana sung Creep. I guess I was at a disadvantage. Cuz I was old enuff 2 remember the music video when the song 1st came out... Back when MTV used 2 stand 4 music television
I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed but I knew every artist with every song. Guess I just like music. ☮️
"We swear"
Me: *shook my head with a smile for 2 minutes straight*
I grew up in the 90's, and I don't recall anyone confusing these songs. They were all extremely well known. Not only by their name, but by the artist's voice. So, who were these people that were confused? It had to be kids that didn't grow up in the 90's. No one from my generation would ever confuse Scott Weiland with Kurt Cobain. No one.
I probably would because I didn't listen to either of those talent less bands back then.
Any 90's teen worth their salt knows damned well the difference between Kurt and Scott!!!!, And All 4 One sounds nothing like Boyz||Men.
soulcrusher807 talentless? Surely you're on crack! Generation X baby!🤘😎🤘
I agree that people who grew up in the 90's knew the differences between Nirvana,STP, Boyz 2 Men,All 4 One, Weezer, & Wheatus.
soulcrusher807 and which of your talentless bands would you consider talented?
who tf thought teenage dirtbag was by weezer that sounds literally nothing like them
Phoebe Mortensen I agree. People don't pay attention I guess.
i guess not haha. but ive been guilty of mixing up stuff like this so i guess if you dont know weezer at all you might.
I am a Weezer fan and i know that song by this list...
Phoebe Mortensen Wheetus!! one hit wonders
Phoebe Mortensen The instrumental sounds incredibly similar so yes it does.
The good old days of file sharing.
lol and kaza and napster and basically pre-RI-ata-AA-meeting and MPAA trolling nonstop. lol and they keep crawling out of the wood works every few years [the RIA and MPAA] like good god you lost relevence and are to narrow minded and petty to work with people. Sufficed to say why not just say from Limewire and the like over "file sharing" lol.
#2 makes me laugh. There was a whole argument in an episode of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia about it.
When Plush came out by Stone Temple Pilots, David Spade had a joke at the time that said " Stone Temple Pilots, oh yeah. I really like this group the first time, when they were called Pearl Jam.".
Michael Kline dude they sound exactly the same
I was born in 2005 so I didn’t really know a whole about some of the bands around before me so I thought plush was made be Pearl Jam cuz of the “similar” vocal styles and sound instrumentally
Really though these two bands were out at the same time...both had debut albums in the VERY early 90’s, and they truly aren’t alike in my opinion. Maybe vocally, but that was grunge! ✌️
@@sugaredviolets2085 True, and with Pearl Jam coming out first('91), everyone got the joke at the time that the vocal on Plush('92) was kinda similar, but that was where the similarities ended.
Except you can decipher Plush's vocals much easier.
I think only the people at WatchMojo were confused , not everyone else.
This should have been called "10 Songs By Artists That Sort-Of Sound Like Other Artists"
Ben Plummer although a stretch the only one I could understand MAYBE was the America Neil Young one but thats only if you werent paying attention
Ben Plummer agreed
Which is normally the case with these clowns. I think half the time they just make it up as they go just to have content.
Completely agree. Not one of the songs had any significant similarities. Watch Mojo is just running out of TOP ten ideas!
Most of these mistakes don't even sound like who they are mistaken for.
Way back in the day, I'm kinda old, when Stone Temple Pilots first were known, people mistaken them for Pearl Jam, not Nirvana?!?!
Also yes I thought "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was a Fallout Boy song, my daughter flipped out on me, cuz she loves her Panic! At The Disco!! Don't make their fans mad, geez! 😬
Absolutely NO-ONE thinks Stuck In The Middle is Bob Dylan ...
Maybe people who've had their ear cut off.
Badap-CHINGGG! I'm here all night folks.
it’s a parody of bob dylan’s music and how he kinda sold out by using electronic instruments or some shit
I have a teacher that thought it was the Beatles
Maybe the Steve Miller Band but sure as hell not Bob Dylan...
I used to think it was Paul McCartney and wings for the longest time, never once thought it was Dylan.
Number 11: What's Up - 4 Non Blondes (Not He-Man)
goat comment
4 non blondes?! Its not by 1 blonde man?
Who the fuck is He-Man? Besides a god damn action figure
Hoff1282 yes, the action figure. There's a video called "Fabulous Secret Powers" that syncs clips from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe with a cover of the song.
Yeah... no one thinks this.
No one in the 1970's confused "America" with Neil Young. I was 9 years old and my mono AM radio listening ass knew the difference, LOL.
You all do a lot of nice work. This one is a “reach.” Maybe a handful of casual music fans could think that STP was Nirvana, but not anyone who is a true music lover. Geez!
a handful like maybe 5 million napster users got it wrong. Big hands you got.
You guys ever heard Stealing Society by System of a Down? I could've sworn that was Ariana Grande.
Yeah Ariana does seem like the type of person to sing about crack pipes, needles, pcp and fast cars.
And when she gets to talking she never be wrong.
That’s funny because I always thought One Last Time was sung by Serj Tankian. Coincidence? 🤔
You missed "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. Everybody thinks it is Nickleback. See, I can make up dumb stuff too.
MarklarsonTube Dammit! I really thought it was Nickelback!
Wait... what??? It's not? *Mind. Blown*
I'm still mad about what you said in the comments about Nickelback!!
-TJ
I thought it was by J.S. Bach!!!1!!
Nickelback are an utter joke.
I thought "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was by The Stray Cats instead of Queen. Only made me more amazed by the genius of Brian May and Freddy Mercury to pull off such an amazing genre tribute.
Never forget that "I Swear" was originally a country hit
John Michael Montgomery!
I thought everyone knew horse with no name was by America...
How do people get stuck in the middle wrong!!!
Me to
when i was young and heard horse with no name for the first time i thought it was Crosby Stills Nash and Young.....
What's sad is they must not know the band, so they're out there living their lives without Ventura Highway or Sister Golden Hair.
I thought Young was in America, at one point. Sure I read it too. At least I think I did. Not sure of anything anymore :'(
kurt cobain in thumbnail is more clickbait than semi nude pictures
I agee
Seth but nirvana were one of the picks..
Agreed, the thumbnail gave me feels so I clicked.
same, couldnt resist. my brain said to me " dont click on this video, you dont care about the topic" but my fingers already clicked. its a reflex ;-;
Seth I agree
I used to think American pie was by Billy Joel because how similar it sounded to piano man
For the low price of killing the family computer, you can download songs into your ipod/mp3 players. The guy who uploaded these songs knew they were good but must have had no idea who played these songs.
Never knew anyone who thought 'Horse With No Name' was by Neil Young.
And ditto for 'Stuck in the Middle With You'. Dylan? Get real.
+Philip Gior I'm embarrassed to say when I was in my early 20's I thought Horse With No Name was by Neil Young and had to be corrected by a compassionate friend...
That one was me. I totally thought it was Neil.
Hanging my head in shame...
I admit that I have actually always believed it was Neil Young. Gladly, that is the only one on this list I had completely wrong.
Who the F thinks Marley sang Don't Worry Be Happy?
Evryone
Me :/
Me
🎵Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing
Cause every little thing's gonna be alright🎶
@@toyadiinae9800 not the same song...
I was around when the Meredith brooks song came out lol
Me too and no one thought it was Alanis Morrisette.
The success of Regina's "Baby Love" from 1986 was said to be based on the thought that Regina was Madonna or that Madonna was associated with the hit. Have you heard about this before? Another time I tried to ask a musician about how to find a song that was not from her but it sounded similar to her. I later discovered thanks to RUclips that Marco Polo and J Davey released "Relax" sampled from Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation.". I am still trying to live that down.
Who in the hell confused STP for Nirvana?
Just the idiots at WatchMojo
SD5 obviously. 😂
Wasn't it Pearl Jam that SOME people would confuse them for?
@Christopher Bingham Now way dude, STP sounds way more like Nirvana both guitar and vocals. Eddie Vedder mumbles half intelligible lyrics. STP you can sing along, like Nirvana unplugged, they do 2 Meat puppet songs, Everyone still thinks Curt wrote them, he even says " now we are going to do some Meat Puppet songs", but everyone ignored that.
What about Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean? Everyone confuses that with Black Sabbath
David Weber thank u!! That gave me a really big LOL!!! 😁
LOFL. You rule.
True story... When I first heard that Caribbean Queen was NOT a Sabbath song, I was shocked. They sound exactly the same.
Haha yup that's Ozzy hehe😂
I spit out my coffee when I read this.
I'm so glad to see people making fun of this video. I would feel bad for the person who made this video, but they could have done so much better.
This comes up at pub trivia all the time and most people answer that Stuck In The Middle With You" was a Beatles song.
1:02 - "Also if this miss credited artist worked on the song or covered it afterwards, like Mott the Hoople "All the Young Dudes" it won't be on this list either."
6:00 - "Weezer added to the confusion by also covering the song..."

Why bother having rules? lol
it wasn't an official released cover, it was only at the one concert
@@christopherdonahue2398, right on.
Did they say "official released cover"? Or just "....covered it afterwards....."
rules are meant to be bent sometimes
All of these should instead be song parodies mistakenly attributed to Weird Al.
What, aren't all song parodies written by Weird Al?
As a young teen, I thought that any good old pop songs where sing by the Beatles... Happy Togheter (The Turtles)... Beatles... Turn Turn Turn (The Byrds)... Beatles...
I know all of these songs, never knew that people would attribute them to the other bands you listed here.
Who the fuck thought Stuck In The Middle With You was Dylan?? It sounds way too poppy to be Bob Dylan
In all fairness, I never thought it was a Dylan song but the vocal style is so similar it's easy to see why.
When I first heard it I thought it was by the Beatles or John Lennon solo.
You want someone else that sounds like Dylan, listen to "A Public Execution" by Mouse & the Traps.
Also, how did they miss "Vehicle" (Ides of March, not Blood Sweat & Tears), "Crazy on You" (Heart, not Jefferson Airplane), and "You're Only Lonely" (JD Souther, not Roy Orbison)?
same here. totally thought it was the beatles
That and Bob Marley had been dead for about 10 years by then.
I often confuse Rod Stewart's vocals with the sound of a dying badger being dragged down a gravel road. Or with Kim Carnes for that matter.
LMAO...fuck...I'm dead. That is a very accurate description.
Ummm seriously no mention of Stacy's Mom everyone thought it was Bowling for Soup but it was Fountains of Wayne
didn't people get so confused that bowling for soup ended up covering it just cause the confusion would die down
So... you're telling me Slayer didn't write Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? I call crap.
Watch mojo: we wont be listing any bands that ended up covering the song.
Also watch mojo: weezer ended up covering the song teenage dirtbag...
I noticed this the first time I watched it and had to listen to the rules at the beginning again.
Well, Weezer had no part in writing the song. Remember the part where they said if an band or artist helped make the song AND THEN covered it later, it wouldn't count?
That's classic for this channel.
Jesus Christ.
They didn't list Weezer, they showed part of the reason they get confused with Wheatus.
Wheatus is the band listed.
@@InkAndPoet he said OR covered it later
When I was a child I thought _Don't worry be happy_ were by Bill Cosby.
That's because Bobby McFerrin performed the Cosby theme, at least for one season.
Frank S. 😂😂😂
That's probably because those are the words he told the women he abused.
_Don't worry. Drink quickly._
If anything, STP’s Plush was confused as being performed by Pearl Jam, namely due to the similar delivery/vocal melody by Scott at the time. In fact, many thought that Eddie Vedder had dyed his hair.
I always thought stuck in the middle with you was by the Beatles
It's news to me that people thought these songs were by other artists. I knew them all apart from the one that sounded like Rhianna because that's what most music sounds like in recent times. It all sounds the same.
cobain's voice is so iconic how did people mess this up
Caleb Buerger and Scott Weiland was a much better singer
Weiland was a singer, Cobain was a screamer!!!
Clearly you've never watched Unplugged. Weiland couldn't hold a candle to Cobain.
The Contingency Plan I've watched unplugged Kurt definitely a weaker singer
Caleb Buerger Yes Weiland is far better vocalist and the first 2 Stone Temple Pilots albums are way better than any Nirvana album.
the fact that people mistook STP for Nirvana blows me away i can pick out STP anywhere
I’ve never heard anyone say that “escape” was by Jimmy Buffet.
Sometimes I forget that I hate stupid clickbait lists, but then a watchmojo top ten reminds me why
no shit...stupid.
Yep
That Wheatus song sounds literally nothing like Weezer.
Their voices are nothing alike
I used to think Mrs. Robinson was by The Beatles
