Songs That You Conflate

[chrislc]

Hits that tend to always remind you of other hits, sometimes to the point of mixing them up -

A couple for me -

Mr. Big Stuff and Clean Up Woman
Smiling Faces Sometimes and Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get (charting at the same time)

This is a little different from those, at least in my intent. Not necessarily sounding like another song or act, but one song reminding us of another, so that we tend to link them in our minds. Of course lyrically there are some obvious examples, like Backstabbers for Smiling Faces Sometimes, but what I'm thinking of here are undefinable and sometimes unexplainable pairings.
