This page documents all songs that are often credited as performed by Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, or individual members of the band, but are actually performed by another band or artist. It should be noted that throughout Manson's career, very few songs that have not appeared on official releases are rarely, if ever leaked to the public and therefore most supposed "rare" songs from Marilyn Manson are generally publicity stunts by unrelated bands to spread their music to a wider audience and should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
