In the old days of P2P MP3 sharing, there were just a few songs that were misidentified, sometimes hilariously, and the widespread nature of MP3 sharing meant that a single user's error was propogated hundreds or thousands of times across the world.
One of those tracks was "Cry Little Sister", which was drawn from the Lost Boys soundtrack, and definitely was never performed by the Sisters of Mercy, despite what all the ID3 tags said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_Little_Sister

I remember (a friend) downloading Box Car Racer's new album on p2p only to find an indie band had uploaded their own songs under the legitimate BCR track listing. While immediately clear they weren't BCR, friend was intrigued and continued to listen to them for years without having any idea who they really were.
