What I thought was "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix is actually "Locomotion Breath" by Jethro Tull.

Here's a weird music one. I have managed to confuse four songs, in sort of a 4 shape. The meeting point is "The Grand Illusion" by Styx. I conflated it with "The Angry Young Man" also by Styx, and both of those I have confused at different times for "Baba O'Reiley" by The Who. I have separately confused "The Grand Illusion" with "Karn Evil 9 Movement 1 Part 2" (the part that gets radio play) by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.

Karn Evil also sounds like carnival and the song is themed sort of around a circus like performance.

The singer in "What's Going On?" by 4 Non Blonds (The songs with the the chorus of "and I say hey-yay-yay what's going on?") is a woman. It had always sounded like a male voice with a high register.

When I was a kid I thought it was "let Milo open the door" and every time it came on the radio I thought of the dog from The Mask.

Holy poo poo! Someone also thought that song said Milo, I thought that after thinking it said Lyle.

I finally learned what some lyrics that were completely incomprehensible to be. From Rush's Limelight

My Brain posted:


"Living on a fish island
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heard to try
I can't pretend a stranger
Beyond the weighted fringe

Rush posted:


Living in a fish-eye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend...

Siegfried and Roy were a couple and not just a double act.

The currency of EVE Online, ISK, is the same as the currency code as Iceland. I figured this out by looking at a list of currency codes at work, and spending way too long wondering why we stored the EVE currency in the database.
