TIL songwriter Rick Springfield became so frustrated at being confused with Bruce Springsteen he recorded the song ‘Bruce’ based on his experiences, singing “it started being a bother when he made the cover of Time”. He eventually got famous with ‘Jessie’s Girl’, beating Bruce to a Grammy in 1981.

I seem to remember Jackie Chan being in the music video, or the song being featured in a Jackie Chan movie. Chan had a similar “Bruce” problem, people would confuse him with Bruce Lee. (I did a cursory search for the video but didn’t find anything.)
