That’s the joke. There were a lot of mislabeled media back then, basically anything funny was Weird Al, anything rock was Metallica except that one song about Zelda, that was totally SoaD, etc etc. All of them were wrong, and god help you if you try to download a movie. 50/ 50 you now have to figure out how to digitally shred your hard drive so you don’t get v& by the feds or b& irl.
Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that’s obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that’s Dave Matthews Band.
Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection
I think every millennial has at least one napster/limewire era “white whale” song. It was awesome and you’d try to determine who actually performed it for years without ever figuring it out. Mine was a punk song listed as Dropkick Murphys but all I know for certain is it definitely was not them. No lyric searches have ever pulled up a match.
My best guess is that it was probably a late '90s band that never had much of a following beyond whatever local/regional music scene they came from and someone uploaded it from a demo they picked up at a show or something.

For me it was: hey check out this cool Muse song! - it’s Radiohead
Bring Me To Life? Clearly Linkin Park 👌
Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection 👍)
Good times.
Oh, and God forbid you ACTUALLY want to download porn unless you fancy playing CP roulette. 😰

Where can I listen to it? Could you upload
Yes, for some time I remember thinking the Windows 95 song was Weird Al, since it was labelled that way. I thought it didn’t sound much like him!
yep, right over my head. thought it was just an old timey nervous reference to pirated music.
