Random Convincing Examples Of Mandela Effect On Songs (15 items)

  (#1) I Love Rock 'n' Roll

  • Band/Musician

  Posted by Redditor /u/Chookster89:

  I saw this on YouTube. Then I searched the net and all versions have the same change, even the original video clip.

  I love this song and the lyrics I remember are: "I saw him standing there by the record machine..."

  Every version is now: "I saw him dancing there..."

  Absolutely no doubt in my mind the version I grew up with and listened to as recently as two years ago had standing instead of dancing. Lots of residue like covers have standing. But all Joan Jett versions are dancing.

  (#2) Disappearing 'The' In Band Names

  Posted by Redditor /u/coblivion:

  I think this ME has an intergenerational conflict of timeline memories. For me, I clearly remember the album covers and any reference as far back as the early '70s to bands like Carpenters, Eagles, Ramones, Bee Gees as The Carpenters, The Eagles, The Ramones, and The Bee Gees that I clearly saw printed on the original album covers. Now if I go back to these covers, the "The" is gone and never existed in this timeline.

  Even stronger is the album Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Now go back to any old album and a "the" is added to a classic album and it always was The Dark Side of the Moon in this timeline. I know dozens of people in their 50s who are dumbstruck by the added "The" to the classic album Dark Side of the Moon.

  (#6) How Deep Is Your Love

  • Musical Album

  I just stumbled across [this ME] on YouTube. [In "How Deep Is Your Love" by Bee Gees, it appears] the words "I really need to know" [have been] replaced by "I really mean to learn."

  (#10) Smooth Criminal

  • Musical Recording

  I've asked a few diehard MJ fans out there, and none of them remember him repeating "hit by" they remember it always being hit and then struck.

  Also, pretty much every cover out there forgot to repeat HIT and instead they say STRUCK. The only cover I found that repeated HIT was Glee's cover.

  (#14) Basket Case

  • Musical Recording

  Posted by Redditor /u/AetherEK4redd: 

  I clearly remember Billie singing, "I went to a wh*re. SHE said my life’s a bore, so quit my whining mess it’s bringing her down." But it’s actually "I went to a wh*re. HE said my life’s a bore." I know you would just think that because it makes more sense. But I clearly remember him saying "She" and now in the song you can hear him clearly say "He."

  (#15) Wonderwall

  • Musical Album

  Who else remembers the line being: "Today is gonna be the day that it all comes back to you?"

  I listen to it again tonight and heard, "Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you."
