    That song, "Otherworld" from the intro to Final Fantasy X was labelled as a Rammstein song.

    I find the most often re-occurring  mislabels are Otherworld as a Rammstein song as said above, and the attribution of many parody songs as Weird Al songs, even though he did not write or sing them.

    ^ I remember reading the Weird Al one somewhere on TV Tropes before. In capitalist America, Weird Al Yankovich is only parodist (he's barely known in the UK).

    It's more general (I don't know if it even happens on Youtube much), but similar to the Otherworld thing, a lot of people seem to misattribute German metal songs to Rammstein. Judging from that, they are the only band, who do metal/rock with German lyrics, which is not exactly the case.

    I can understand this a bit, since there are some bands that sound quite similar, but one should be able to tell them apart through the voice of the vocalist.

    I don't know why people think that Ayumi Hamasaki did "Butterfly".  It's the work of smile.dk.

    ^^ There's a slight excuse for the Jimi Hendrix one, in that he did at least cover "Sunshine of Your Love" - that's just not his version. There's no excuse for labelling it "Cocaine", since that's by JJ Cale and Hendrix never recorded it.

    Hm... I think I've seen some instances of people attributing Deltron 3030 songs to the Gorrilaz, but... other than that I can't think of too many instances of this (other than things like saying that "Love Shine" is by BeForU when it's officially credited just to Riyu Kosaka, or things like that)

    >See embedded video title

    >"Heh, Hendrix didn't do that song, that's a Clapton song!"

    >Return several hours later and listen to the song

    >Not even "Cocaine", nor Hendrix of any sort
