Cosmo Valdemar Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1347123644' post='1797224'] Without You by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger. Most people credit the song to Harry Nilsson. A few wretched souls even think it's by Mariah Carey. [/quote] As I'm on a real computer now I can add the actual song.

el borracho Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 It has to be Uptown Girl by Weezer. If you Google it you will find loads of references to it. It's even on YouTube and it tells you which album it appears on. The fact is they never recorded it- every version you hear (that is attributed to Weezer) is the one by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

JimBobTTD Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. A couple of people think it was Dolly Parton simply because she sang it earlier and better and with more conviction. Oh, and wrote it.

spinynorman Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I suppose the classic is Hey Joe, claimed by Tim Rose and half a dozen other people, none of whom seem to be able to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.

SteveK Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Don't know about the internet, but probably one of the most misattributed tunes ever is The James Bond theme.
