As a child I thought Sideshow-Barry Biggs was called 'Guaranteed To Make You Cry' and Dreadlock Holiday-10cc was called 'I Don't Like Cricket'. It wasn't until years later I found out the correct titles.

    How many people thought this song was called "Kernkraft 400"?

    (Also, Meredith Brooks' Bitch was called something else by the radio stations and I never knew its actual name until the release of Now 38.)

    Not me, given that you can hear "zombie nation" being said throughout the song.

    Recently, for a few days, I had been under the impression that new Kasabian song was called 'Up All Night'!

    I used to think OMD's Maid of Orleans was called Joan of Arc, but that's another song altogether.

    I liked OMD but that was confusing especially as they were released within a short time of each other.

    Absolutely tons! But from the top of my head:

    C&C Music Factory - Everybody Dance Now (actually 'Gonna Make You Sweat')

    Grouplove - Take Me To Your Best Friend's House ('Tongue Tied')

    Birdy - For The Rest Of Our Lives ('Wings')

    Chumbawumba - I Get Knocked Down ('Tubthumping')

    Incognito - Such A Good Feeling ('Always There')

    Snow Patrol - Light Up ('Run')

    Pulp - Let's All Meet Up In The Year 2000 ('Disco 2000')

    OMC - Balthazar ('How Bizarre') :confused:

    It is called Kernkraft 400?

    I heard Bitch on the radio the other day and it was referred to as "Nothing Inbetween". A bit odd considering the word Bitch isn't censored anyway.

    It's actually called Oh Yeah (On The Radio), so you weren't that far off :)

    ...and I assumed it was called Every Little Thing's Gonna Be Alright! Astonishing.

    Which reminds me of 'I Feel Good' by James Brown, actually known as I Got You.
