Well I distinctly remember those lines, and so do thousands of other people. Something just isn’t right. Even digitally editing out the lines don’t make sense, because even older dvds don’t contain the lines. Either false memories were implanted into people’s mind, or people experienced a slightly different reality. At this point I’m thinking people are being exposed to memory implantation technology via transmission towers. 

 

Even easier people missed the line or think they heard the line.  What is more likely?  False memories implanted in minds (for what gain especially movie quotes) or people remembered wrong?  Experiencing a different reality (philosophically we all experience our own reality but a different discussion for a different day) or remembering 5 seconds of our life from 10 years ago wrong?

 

The brain is incredibly interesting so I won't say I am 100% right here and you are wrong I'm just at peace with the fact that I will never know if we are living in a multi-verse so I don't explore it as a possibility.

I wouldn't condemn you for finishing off the possibly non-existent line in We Are the Champions, especially if you are hot.

Actually I was right. They do say it. Just not everytime.  So not a Mandela effect.

Like row_33 said, there are many versions of the song. 

 

Is this my opportunity to call you an idiot? Lol

 

Yes, they say it live, occasionally, like in their live concert at Wembley Stadium.  The release and album versions don't have it.  Intentionally - the song ends on a half-measure of 6/8 time, leaving it in a state of suspense.  The average listener - such as a confirmed moron like yourself - feels compelled to "fill in" the last three beats with something...thus your mind inserts "Of the world..." to complete the song, because that same phrasing has occurred some 90 seconds earlier in the song.  

 

Again, not a "Mandela" effect.  A "Being Wrong" effect.

We can choose a few songs by Queen as epic and not care to hear many dozen anthems ever again...

 

The best songs are:

 

Get Down, Make Love

You're My Best Friend

Killer Queen

Seven Seas of Rhye

Brighton Beach Rock

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Radio Ga-Ga 

 

Killer Queen is...overdone.  Like Stairway to Heaven: good?  Yes. Great?  Probably?  Overplayed?  Absolutely.  Same with Bohemian Rhapsody, which by any standard is an absolute masterpiece, but if I don't hear it again in the next five years I won't feel bad.

KQ is the last great music hall romp of Brit-Pop!!!

 

I'll give you your sci-fi thrillers, Ga-Ga is total crap. 

 

A keen and excellent mind like yours is allowed to include one choice of total crap.

Radio Ga-Ga has one of the most subtly brilliant vocal performances in all of rock music.  The the instrumentals are simple, cheesy pop...but Mercury uses his voice to perfection through the verse to slowly build musical tension that he gently starts to relax with one word "Radio," then resolves with the verse.  It is one of his virtuoso performances, and those vocals superimposed on those instrumentals, to create a piece of radio crap that was originally and ironically named "Radio Ka-Ka" is just artwork.

sorry, I was into New Order and The Smiths and their ilk by that point... Queen was totally passe.

 

Freddie's freedoms in all their glory was amazing on the video for Body Language, his last tip of the hat...

 

 

------------------

 

on fifth thought, several dozen pop icons of the 70s and 80s flouted their "alternative lifestyle" proclivities, but basically only Freddie succumbed to the plague that took down a very large percentage of the population

 

so just what fakery and posing was going on???

 

i attended funerals for this illness during those days for 6 who were in my fundy Baptist church growing up, 2 were a total shocking surprise...  :(

 

 

--------------

 

and John Deacon's compositions made them a ton of money for the credit he really gets...

Finally something useful in this thread.  I never followed closely enough to break down or rank Queen songs, but I have to throw one out there.  That scene in Shaun of the dead where they fight off all the zombies to "Don't stop me now" is so ingrained in my head.  If that one's implanted too just like apparently everything else, well then I don't want any part of any of this anymore.

Queen was a staple of top 40 radio for those of us born in the mid 60s and spent a lot of time alone listening to top 40 radio.... the more over-the-top productions aren't appreciated, the image of them standing around oversinging through 200 takes to end Somebody to Love is a dealbreaker.

 

My top Queen tribute is here...

Some ‘classic rock’ formats seem to mandate airplay five days a week.  ?

One of life's great mysteries for sure but as I posited earlier, even if it is happening but we can't tell that it is happening, does it matter?  Kind of like "if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?"  I always struggled with these because I always defaulted to "does it matter?"  Knowing how faulty every single person's memory is, and knowing that there are 7 billion plus people, tells me that a few thousand people remembering something one way is a statistically very small number.  It leads me to believe that confabulation or straight mis-remembering (thanks Roger Clemens) is what causes the supposed mandela effect and that people's brains being similar make similar connections.  It blew my young mind when a teacher told me even if you were 1 in a million that means there are 330 people like you in America.  "Thousands of people" even tens of thousands is still a statistically small amount of our population.  It isn't hard to imagine 10% of people getting something wrong imo.

 

So in the movie Moonraker, does Dolly have braces yes or no? Because there are more than just a few thousand that remember differently on this one.

Objects in mirror MAY BE closer than they appear. I will always remember it this way! As a kid I was always inquisitive and whould ask my dad why a mirror would cause objects to have such a subjective interpretation in our vision. I will never forget that conversation.

the standard sticker on vehicles is part of our life

 

just like the cartoon drawing of an infant smashing his skull and going !!!!! on the sunvisor, reminding us to strap the child in...
