A bit. Although, I'm sure that some younger listeners may well assume it is Michael's song anyway, and that Rockwell was rather backing HIM up back in the day (heck, maybe some people made that misconception back then too).

Yep. Which is one of the reasons it sounds so much like him!

I didn't think it was possible to get those two bands confused!

I like Lifehouse. They were on the first season of Punk'd. Some smarty pants "confused" them with O Town. They did not find humor in it [Smile]

O-Town was an American boy band formed from the first season of the MTV-produced reality television series Making The Band in 2000.

You can see why Lifehouse didn't appreciate the comparison [Smile]

Wasn't 'Lifehouse' an aborted Who project involving fans being locked in with the band for a week long concert (or something like that), the material of which wound up being the basis of their best album 'Who's Next'?

Jim Kerr and Mick Hucknall? They could so easily have been body doubles for Arnie and Danny Devito......

When I first heard Ready For The World's hit "Oh Sheila", I thought it was by Prince.

I thought the same thing, then I was listening to Prince' 1999 album and there was an exact song like that! I think it's Lady Cab Driver, I remember thinking they just changed the lyrics later on. Total theft!
