That's not a mandela effect, that's a mondegreen.
I've also recently downloaded that song, and I don't remember it having all the jazz after verse 2 (unless the radio played an acoustic piano version of it). Funnily enough, I was just listening to Crying For No Reason.
I also thought it was by Lady Gaga when it's actually by Katy B.

Stuff I Thought About Music That WASN'T True:

  • “This One's For You” didn't have Zara Larsson on it.
  • “Crying For No Reason” is by Lady Gaga.
  • “Silhouettes” isn't by Avicii.
  • “Final Song” by MO is actually “Rich Boy” by Galantis.
  • Anne-Marie released 3 songs at the same/a similar time in 2018. Try to guess the second non-Anne-Marie one. The second one was “Bad Vibe”.
  • Made In June is actually called Fourth Of July.
  • Dua Lipa is spelt “Jooer Leaper”.
  • “Lush Life” was released in 2016.
  • Marina And the Diamonds' name inspiration comes from the phrase ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
  • NOT3S' name inspiration comes from music notes.
  • Love Ssega's name inspiration is Sega.
  • Adele sang “False Alarm”.

I'm sure I saw a Bemani game actually branded ‘Bemani’ once.

there's nothing such as mandela effect, it's just a manipulation of thoughts. I've seen a documentary that told people fake stuff from like 10 years before and they for some reason remembered it. Mandela effect is not real, it's just your thoughts merging with another ones. You though George has a tail because monkeys have tails. You though that pikachu has black tail because he has black ears. You though monopoly guy has a monocle because it's something many people associate with rich people. If you flew a balloon and ate a sandwich before, you might remember eating sandwich and balloon flight, but not exactly when it happened. that's just the brain.

Yeah, it's all to do with false memories and suggestion.
The brain creates false memories all the time: science doesn't fully understand it, but its assumed to be the brain's way of preparing for certain scenarios and it's also likely just to do with how memories work- the more you remember something the more you forget, so your brain fills in the gaps, basically.
On top of that a lot of recent Mandela effect posts online start off by putting the idea in your head- some kind of “You remember X having Y, don't you?” or just generally being insistent about the false memory. This way that the brain often members or distorts memories based on suggestions plays a large role in crime investigations and the psychology research there- it only takes one person in a group of witnesses to be insistent on some blatantly wrong information for them all to believe it and recite it confidently.

While they are just the product of some of your brain's flaws, I do find them interesting, albeit mostly for those reasons.

I remember mickey mouse wearing a strap, I swear on my life i did.

He doesn't though.

I remember tons of pictures of him with a strap. But none of them did.

Neither in the older animations and comics, no strap.

This is a really old topic but whatever. I find the Mandela effect interesting, though I don’t have any experiences of it (and I don’t really believe in it)

I definitely remember it being ‘but a’ because I used to think it was ‘butter dream’. In fact, I don’t think I ever even noticed that that made no sense.

Berenstain Bears, not Berenstein Bears
I think this was solved as some of them were misprinted with the wrong spelling or something.
