Green Eggs And Ham, Not Bob Dylan (1997) In 1997, a 30-something music producer from Houston, Texas, produced a mashup of Bob Dylan and Dr. Seuss titled Dylan Hears a Who, a parody album that went viral online. IIRC, the estate of Dr. Seuss issued a cease and desist order based on copyright infringement, and the album / website disappeared (but not before some of us snagged it).

Good, Good Lovin’, The Blossoms (1966)
The Blossoms were probably the most successful unknown group of the ’60s, and the most well-known lineup was Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King. Their biggest hit was not even credited to them: producer Phil Spector was in a rush to get He’s A Rebel to the market, and since his top group was on tour at the time, he named The Crystals instead.
