The other day a friend mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughan in a context that really confused me until I realized I was actually thinking of Steve Vai.

Jan And Dean and Ben And Jerry. Obviously I know the difference but subconsciously they're the same , the association goes:Jan and Dean -> Pearl and Dean -> going to "the cinemas" as a kid -> buying icecream in tubs -> Ben and Jerry

I used to mix up Patrice Rushen and Patrick Moraz because one of the former’s early solo albums has proggy cover art so I thought “oh yeah, keyboardist from Relayer”

Reminded by a question on Pointless today: every time I try to think of the name of the US flagmaker Betsy Ross, I come up with the name of the actress Fannie Flagg, and cannot get any further than that. Not exactly "getting them mixed up", just an incredibly stupid quirk of my brain.

When I see them I'm easily able to identify them, but for some reason when I try to mentally picture which of them was in what movie, I often confuse Martin Landau and Frank Langella.
Like just this moment, when I checked to confirm my certainty that Langella played Lugosi in Ed Wood. Nope. They don't even look that much alike, ffs. I don't know what my problem is.
