Have you ever heard of the conspiracy theory that we've all been plugged into the Matrix or shunted to a different dimension? It's "proven" by the "Mandela effect", where entire groups of people misremember the same thing, the theory being that some people remember the old reality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory

Anyway, I could swear black and blue that the lyrics to Don't You Want Me, by The Human League, had the line "you were working as a waitress in a pick-up bar" and it was recently changed. Not a mondegreen, the words don't remotely sound alike.

Edit: To be clear, I do know that the line was always "cocktail" not "pick-up". My memory is faulty and I have no idea how that happened. But it's a really solid false memory.

@si_fuller have you seen Yesterday (2019 film)?
@dgar No, but I was trying to remember the name of it last week, to see if it was available on my streaming service. Then I forgot.
@dgar Note: my streaming service does not carry that movie, presumably because the major streaming services actively want people to pirate stuff.
@si_fuller Yarr!! 🏴‍☠️
@si_fuller @dgar wouldn’t it be amazing if they pulled that movie from all distribution so that we were left to wonder - did it really exist?
@dgar @si_fuller Thats a great movie.
@si_fuller I firmly believe I'm in Matrix, as I'm unable to decrypt many people's messages.
@ozzelot @si_fuller rewires the matrix to something totally unknown and teleports everyone to another matrix far away. 🤣
@si_fuller I remember it as "you were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar"
@beeftacos Yes, that's the actual line. I have no idea why I remember it wrong.
@si_fuller You came from a parallel universe, but accidentally jumped into mine.
@beeftacos That's does sound more feasible than me being wrong.
@si_fuller For some it is not a conspiracy theory but a relegion: last thursdayism.

@si_fuller

Universe is software.
Its run be consensus in groups.
This is why we are divided by our owners.
Humanity can forge its own glorious #destiny when united.

@si_fuller The line has always been "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar"? I've just checked and that's still the lyrics, so perhaps we haven't slipped into an alternate timeline of reality just yet?

Although all this *gestures around broadly* does make me wonder...

@si_fuller Cocktail. I was improving on my English back then and remember singing the lyrics.
@si_fuller Damn! Now you say it was all just wishful thinking? I liked the idea of a pick up bar but then I do have a liking for decadence

@si_fuller This song has the one of the best mondegreens.

"Don't chew on me baby
Don't chew on me, Owwww!"
