Both songs had a door as I recall.

Yes Dolly had braces on the television version I have no doute. Someone did find a trace of braces on one pic but with all the utube videos out there , it really should be out there. Very strange.

Anyone ever experienced the Mandela effect? Not where you think you may remember something differently, but where you're certain something has drastically changed from how it really was?
I grew up in this area. I would visit my best friend's house after school and on the weekends starting around 1991-2. We used to go across the street from his house to an empty lot on the corner and play football or just ride bicycles & dirt bikes or just goof off. We'd always go to this specific lot because it was the only flat area around. We'd always play a neighborhood game of football there when it snowed or basically every other day in the summer.
There is no doubt it was this lot. We used to try to drive remote control cars through the creek tile running under the road at the corner of the lot. We blew up fireworks on the 4th of July on this lot.
I've driven down this road my entire life, since I was 16. I drove down this road everyday for about 10 years on my way to and from work.
I drove down this road and noticed something the other day. The corner lot has a big house on it. I did a double take, because I thought they must've built it fast in just 2-3 weeks, since I hadn't been on the road in a couple weeks.
The house looked old. The cement walkway was dirty from what looked like years of use. The asphalt driveway was dull and grey looking like it had been there a long time. The bricks looked dirty, like mud splashing up on them from rainstorms.
There is a huge barn right behind it that has always been there and a field next to it filled with cows and horses.
I looked at the property assesor website and the house has been there since 1988 👀
I cant explain it. Weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. I just can't explain it, I may need to go check myself in on a 51/50, 😂. No way I can be that wrong on decades worth of memories. Waiting on my buddy to call me back. I'm probably gonna sound like a coo-coo.
Anyone else have something from your past changed so blatantly and you can't explain it?

I mentioned the Billy Graham one and the Nelson Mandela one.
There are others that are widespread ...
...
- Is it Jif or Jiffy Peanut Butter?
People remember it both ways.

The one Mandela effect I did figure out was The Black Eyed Peas song, "let's get it started." I remember the lyric being, and don't get offended, "let's get retarded." As in, let's let our freak colors fly, nothing about mental capacity, it was slang that was used frequently in the past.

This is getting weird.
We talked to his grandma, she's 91 now, but she's not senile or anything, just old.
He asked her if she remembered when we used to ride our bicycles across the street and make ramps and stuff. She said yeah and recalled the story of when his footpeg broke when he jumped and he landed full force on on the cross bar between his legs. He was crying and said, "I can taste my butt". She though it was really funny. That happened in the empty lot and she agrees the lot was empty.
She talked about how his mom would yell at his dad about fireworks and made him take us to the empty lot to blow them up.
Then he asked about the neighbors in the house on the lot. She remembers them being there too. She says they'd always have cook outs in the fenced in backyard and play their music too loud back in the early 90's. She remembers when they were building the house and we're having a hard time digging a well.
She also remember us playing football over there all summer back in the 90's.
She also mentioned how the farmer would always park his tractors on the lot before and after going out into the fields.
The lot isn't massive. You can't play football on the lot and have a house there too. You simply can't put tractors on the lot as a convenience. It would be too much trouble trying to maneuver them around the house, driveway, walkway and trees.
How can she remember the lot being empty, but also a house being there too?
There is no one home at the house right now. We're gonna check with them tonight or tomorrow.
