In the early 2000s, the Internet was a minefield of misinformation, especially when it came to labeling songs on KaZaA, Napster, Limewire, or the peer-to-peer file sharing program of your choice. I, for one, used KaZaA, which is how after only seven hours of downloading, I made my first five-song mix CD. The tracklisting: four songs I've forgotten about, though they were probably South Park and Simpsons clips, and Phish's "Gin and Juice." Now, Phish never covered the Snopp Dogg classic — the Gourds did — but I didn't know that; this was an extremely gullible time for everyone, and we immediately accepted that the mp3 file we ripped from bongfan69 was factual.
Oh, but the times they have changed, to quote the classic Paul Simon song. Now we're all correctly titling songs this and legally paying for music that. But Your KaZaA Library, a fantastic new-ish Twitter account, brings back the good ol' days of "5000 Miles" by the Proclaimers" and "Hate to Say I Told You So" by the Strokes, which, no. Here are 15 mislabeled songs you likely had in your KaZaA library in the early 2000s.


















Star Wars Cantina – Weird Al Yankovic
Gin & Juice – Phish (actually by the Gourds for those that never figured it out)

Hey Lady – Led Zeppelin
Also, silly trivia, my cousin was the drummer in the band that actually did Heaven Is a Halfpipe
I remember every country song ever was mislabeled. Garth Brooks, George Straight and Tim McGraw were pretty much interchangeable.
Legend of Zelda theme – System of a Down
Don’t Worry, Be Happy – Bob Marley
Stop the World and Melt With You – The Cure
Discovery Channel – The Bloodhound Gang.
Sublime – Hotel California (punk cover)
Sublime – Non Woman No Cry
And I feel old hearing that Kurp here started his downloading career with Kazaa. That’s so 2002. I was on Napster in 6th grade (99).
Stuck In the Middle With You — Bob Dylan
Neil Young – A Horse With No Name
The Get Up Kids – The Most Depressing Song
I used Ares, those where the days
Cats in the Cradle -Cat Stevens
OPM was big enough to be confused with Good Charlotte?
Dream On – Aerosmth
Everybody Must Get Stoned is actually called Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. And if you multiply 12 and 35, the answer is 420.
