Driving home yesterday, I turned on the radio to hear an incredible song that I couldn't quite place.  I may have heard it before, but I didn't know what it was, and it was AWESOME.  Thankfully the DJ announced the name of the song right after its completion.  It was "Eminence Front" by The Who, and I honestly didn't even know it existed until then.  I'm a bit of a music buff, and have been for as long as I can remember, but there's the occasional song that I'll be introduced to for the first time, that just surprises me.

Not as recent, but in the late 90's I heard "Bad Reputation" by Thin Lizzy, and thought it was a new song.  I was like, "This is incredible!  What band is this???", and imagine my shock when I heard the answer.

Any older songs that are new to you that fooled you / made a lasting impression at first listen?

Rock Band has done this to me quite a bit.  Quite a few songs from Rush, since I never really listened to them before.
Real Good Looking Boy by The Who, Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups, Alex Chilton by The Replacements are all awesome songs that I never heard before playing them.  I am sure there are more, those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Rocked out to Psycho Killer the other night. Had no clue there were French lyrics in it. I thought it was "Psycho killer... has escaped.... NA NA NA NA NA NA... Better... Run run run, run run run AWAYYYYYY oh OH OH YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!"
