== Titles which are very similar, but not the same. ==
=== Film ===
* There were some, only going by title and not having read a synopsis or seeing a trailer, thought that ''[[28 Days Later]]'' was a sequel to ''[[28 Days]]''. ''28 Days Later'' was about a zombie outbreak, ''28 Days'' (no "later") was [[Sandra Bullock]] playing a woman in a rehab program. It didn't help that ''28 Days Later'' was released 2 years after ''28 Days'', about the expected time for a sequel to be produced.
=== Live-Action TV ===
* ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'' and ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'', made all the more confusing by the fact that the former's title is commonly shortened to "''3rd Rock''". ''3rd Rock'' is about [[Alien Among Us|aliens living on Earth]], i.e. the third planet (rock) from the sun. ''30 Rock'' is a [[Work Com]] set at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, otherwise known as "30 Rock". Amusingly, they're both [[NBC]] [[Sitcom
=== Music ===
* Some people assume that [[The Beatles]]' "Revolution 9" is the song that has the lyrics "You say you want a revolution..."; they're actually thinking of "Revolution 1" (or "Revolution," the B-side to "Hey Jude"). "Revolution 9" is the weird sound collage with the voice repeating, "Number nine... Number nine... Number nine..." (which notoriously sounds like "Turn me on, dead man" when played backwards).
