How come files on peer-to-peer networks often miss-identify the performers of a song?
I can see how someone might mistake Spandau Ballet's "True" as Tears for Fears (as if they don't have the album in their hand?) But why am I looking at a copy of Funky Town labled "Pseudo Echo?
Do they get points for downloads?

I downloaded it and it sounds just like the 70's to me -- black female vocals and all that.

Pseudo Echo, actually did a very good cover of the 70's classic "Funky Town" Love and Adventure, is a great album and contains alot of good hits, "A Beat For You" and "Listening" most people think of Pseudo Echo being a one hit wonder, but you should real

The reason songs get mislabeled is that alot of people aren't as savy and just guess at titles/artists.
