      This happens a lot. The singer ad-libs from the original song lyrics, lots of fans hear the adlib and sing it at future concerts.
      If you see Duran Duran live and they play "Planet Earth". After the line ".... looking for the TV sound", anyone over 40 yo, in the crowd singing along sings "Switch It Off", before the actual recorded next line of "You'll See I'm Right...."
      This is because Simon sings "switch it off" at a concert which recording ended up on the "Arena" live album and mini-film.
      Ar the time Duran were one of the biggest bands on the planet so everyone heard and saw Arena.
      Similarly some fans sing "I'm shooting stars" at the end of Girls On Film because that's how the 12" finishes.

      I'm with the original commentor, with artifical limb technology & me having 2 horribly busted up knees that need to be replaced, I'd gladly sacrifice one of my effed legs to see Queen perform live.
      But I do have a band that if you were never lucky enough to have seen the original, this band is for you and its not just Queen you missed out on. It can be the Beatle, AC/DC, SaturdayNight Fever S/T, GnR, Pink Floyd Prince. MJ, & the list goes on & on. I've seen them perform Queen 3x & there were timesI'd close my eyes and I swear I felt like I was actually at a Queen show. The band is called Black Jackey Symphony and when they perform Queen's 'A Night at the Opera' they bring with them a singer named Marc Martel, who is simply phenomenal. BJS is also a remarkable band and I cannot suggest enough seeing them perform. They are not a cover band, the don't try to pretend to be the band they're performing, they are all highly accomplished & highly revered musicians who get together (the line-up changes according the band/album they're performing) they play the album in its entirety, starting with side A, song 1, flip it, play side B, take an intermission and then play the band's greatest hits. I've seen this band play over 20x and I've never been disappointed. If you never got to see Queen play live, please go see BJS featuring Marc Martel. You won't be disappointed.

    Actually there is no Mandela effect for the HEIGH-HO song because there’s 2 versions of the Dwarfs Chorus.
    Yes the one they sing when they’re first introduced is “ITS HOME FROM WORK WE GO”
    But later in the film, they head off to the mine again when the Evil Queen visits Snow White and you can clearly hear them sing “ITS OFF TO WORK WE GO” just before the animals arrive to warn them.

    Misheard lyrics aren't Mandela effects, for decades I misheard the lyrics in Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", the line is "our shadows taller than our soul" however I misheard and always sang it as "our shadows stolen and are sold" (which I actually like better) but that's not a Mandela effect.
    However I have multiple very vivid and clear memories of Metallica doing a doing a cover which appeared on the B side of one of their albums, of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir". I remember listening to it with friends and having distinct conversations about the fact that it was a cover of the Zeppelin song. Many years later, none of those friends remember any of those conversations and I was completely shocked and mystified to find out that Metallica's cover apparently never existed - that is a Mandela effect.

    OK couple of things: 1) It's always been Eurythmics, not The Eurythmics. Eurythmics is taught in British schools as it introduces a musical concept through movement before the students learn about its visual representation. It's not the combining of one eurythmic with another. and 2) "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer. First line, repeated 5x is It's so good. Second line, also repeated 5x is HEAVEN KNOWS, often misheard and sang incorrectly (Sorry Sam) as I'm in love.

    Fun Fact: Back in the day of cut and mixed "albums" and pre-released "singles". Said "Singles" were released to radio stations before the albums release weeks later. During that time, some of these singles were re-mixed, cut, edited and sometimes completely re-recorded to fix things in the chorus or flow of the song. Your local station, however, having been given the ORIGINAL single may have still played that 'version' for months even years after the "official album single" hit the stores. I am certain this can explain away several of these song anomalies.

    "The" in front of band names is no big surprise. First of all it was originally traditional to add "the" officially in the early days of rock'n roll as in "The Beach Boys" and "The Beatles". In later years it was not so much: Eagles, Carpenters, Bangles, Go-Go's, etc. (although it was "The Knack" and "The Clash"). However it is still correct to say "the" (lower case) in front of their names to avoid confusion with a generic term ("I saw eagles", "I heard carpenters", etc.).

    But if you search for it today, you will only find "You Dropped A Bomb On Me"!

    Every time I see a Mandela effect list, I think it's gotta be just young people who are tricked by them. For an old person like me who was fully an adult when these songs came out (or movies, or commercials, or whatever the list happens to be), the answers feel super obvious. I think the whole Mandela effect phenomenon is just people very naturally and understandably misremembering things from their childhoods and youths.
    Having said that, I will also admit that I've never been fully certain about the first line of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). As the video points out, it's really hard to hear it clearly because of the way she pronounces it, plus the rhyme scheme strongly suggests "these".

    There is a Mandela effect I had years ago in the 2000s sometime and it might have been due to when Avril Lavigne released her first songs in 1999 "Touch The Sky" "Temple of Life" and "Two Rivers" and it was at the time I heard her live version of "You Were Mine" I could have sworn that Avril Lavigne once released a song called "Under the Maples" which was a country or country gospel song but she never did, nor could I find a song by that name. There is a book by that name by John Burroughs which was released in 1921, but at the time I didn't know about the book.

    My favorite misheard lyric: I was 11 or 12 when the song "Young Hearts Run Free" by Candi Staton came out. I always heard the chorus as "They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man Lee." (It's actually "my man and me"). I always insisted that it was "my man Lee". Fast forward 6 years, when I met the man I married in 1985 and am still married to...whose name is Leigh. Different spelling, but same name as what I heard.

    I feel like a lot of these are just miss hearing the lyrics. For example if you have never looked up the lyrics to blinded by the light you would probably think he says something like “blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche” but the actual lyrics are revved up like a deuce” talking about a deuce coupe car or hot rod. Most people commonly mishear this lyric due to the way the symbol sounds at the end of the word deuce, giving the source of the C a “ch” sound instead of a “sss” sound

    Not finished the list yet hut so far the majority of these are mondegreens, not Mandela effects. It's a similar concept, but a mondegreen is the more appropriate term for when you've misheard a lyric. The point of the Mandela effect is more applicable to cases like the Eternal Flame example where the misremembered aspect is just factually wrong. It also wouldn't apply (in case there are any examples of that kind) to cases where the person isn't aware of the facts (such as thinking Artist A created song B, when in actual fact it was a cover of the earlier song by Artist C).
