I did this one several months ago, so I sat my self down and listened to a few songs from each, and decided which one I liked better. Now I can't remember which one that was (I think Snail Mail).

I know this is supposed to be based on names, so: Sandy Dennis and Sandy Duncan.
Truthfully, you wouldn't get those two mixed up. I do get Sandy Dennis and Elizabeth Hartman mixed up, though, as to the kind of actresses they are.
― clemenza, Monday, 13 December 2021 03:34 (two years ago) link
This thread should have more of people you get mixed up for reasons other than their name, imo.
― Alba, Monday, 13 December 2021 03:38 (two years ago) link
On that note, if you were to mix up Sandy Duncan with anyone, it would probably be Karen Valentine.

In SoCal (and other US areas) BFI means Browning Ferris Industries, a trash collecting service.
