Around 18-20 years ago, as was common at the time, I got a lot of music files off of peer-to-peer filesharing services.
At that time, I was also heavily into anime, and did a lot of searching for anime soundtracks. I had recently watched an episode that had an insert song which particularly piqued my fancy, and went to try and find it.
I came across an entire soundtrack album for the series, labelled as being by Osamu Tezuka. Of course, it was well known that music file labelling on peer-to-peer services was untrustworthy. Everyone I knew had heard that one parody of "What if God Was One of Us", with female vocals, that was labelled as being by Weird Al. And, to the best of my knowledge, Osamu "The Godfather of Manga" Tezuka, had nothing to do with this anime, neither being the manga author, nor working for its studio. But I also had no good way of verifying the real composer at the time, so I left them as is, and let them worm their way into my playlists without any further thought.
Recently, I decided to get my music collection properly tagged and sorted, and got an automatic ID-and-tagger program. Basically shazam except you give it the file directly and it edits the tags.
Today, I got to my anime folder, and was surprised to learn that, actually, there's a second Osamu Tezuka, who had a career composing music for anime and tv soundtracks. And those MP3s were never mislabelled at all.
Imagine finding out that a mediocre comic book you read 20 years ago had its scripts, but not illustration, done by some guy named Walt Disney. But not that Walt Disney.
This is like that.
