froggie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 this popped in my head today. when you hear a song for the first time, you thought it was sung by someone else sometimes. any examples to start with? for me, The way it is - Bruce Hornsby. the first time i heard it i thought it was Springsteen! Before too long - Paul Kelly. at first i thought it was a rare Beatles track that i'd hadn't heard before. Black night - i first thought it was Black Sabbath (and ok, You never know from Wilco could have been the song the Wilburys never wrote) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 First time I heard "Come and Get It" by Badfinger, I thought it was a Beatles tune. Of course, it was written by Sir Paul, but still... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks to a CD misplacement by some Borders employee, when I put on headphones to hear Prince's new album Chaos & Disorder back in 1996, I heard this instead: It wasn't until the second song that I realized what was going on. For 3:35, I really thought Prince had lost his mind, and it was pretty exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The first time I heard this one, I thought it was either Van Morrison or Springsteen. The voice, but then the horn came in. I was confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The first time I heard "You Never Know" I thought it was Seals and Crofts collaborating with discarded members of ELO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That would've worked better if you left off "Seals and" [/protip] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
