But considering this is sung by the same person who performs her song ‘London Bridge’ in front of Tower Bridge, we wouldn’t be surprised if Fergie got the date slightly off by 1000 years. Others think the 3008 VS 2008 lyrics is a Mandela Effect in itself. Some do disagree with this one, especially as many have found out the lyric is actually ‘I’m so 3008’ not 2008, which might have skewed memories. I even remember commenting to my sister how I was getting sick of the song. It was so significant because it was the around the beginning of my senior year (graduated May 2008). “A third said: There’s no way that song was released in 2009, I have multiple distinct memories singing this in my car on the way to high school. I used to make pizza for Pizza Hut and the radio wouldn’t stop playing it while I was at work. I know this because I saw the music video in a commercial, and I made note of the lyric “two thousand-late”, thinking to myself “Oh, it’s actually going to be 2008 soon.”Īnother added: “ Yea. One Reddit user posted: “I distinctly remember the Black Eyed Peas song “Boom Boom Pow” being released in 2007. The lyric is now "I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world" Excuse me it was always "A" Barbie world!!?!?!?Īnother song that apparently isn’t constrained to a linear timeline, ‘Boom Boom Pow’ by the Black Eyed Peas appears to be popular in multiple universes, as people remember it coming out earlier than 2009, the official release date. If y'all don't believe in the Mandela effect, look up Barbie Girl. We’re probably still never going to sing it correctly. We always sing this so fast and with so much cheese it’s unlikely anyone has ever stopped mid-song to scold their friends for assuming there’s more than one Barbie World. It’s actually ‘ in THE Barbie world’, as in, there’s only one Barbie world. ‘I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world’ isn’t correct. Outkast released their hit song ‘Ms Jackson’ in 2000, though some remember it throughout the 90s Barbie Girl in ‘THE’ Barbie WorldĪrguably one of the easiest sing-along songs ever, it turns out we’ve been doing it wrong all this time. But it would seem there’s something shady going on with this song – maybe it was smash hit with the intergalactic aliens who were messing with our timeline. Some have raised the point that the song has a recyclyed melody, so people have probably heard a different song which sounds like ‘Ms Jackson’. This thread also sparked a wider debate about whether the lyrics are “ I apologise a thousand times”, when the lyric is actually “ a trillion times“. I left primary school in 2000 and she had retired 3 years prior. I remember when this song came out and we used to sing “I’m sorry Ms Jackson” at her. When they had the chance to ask college friends, four of them all agreed it was a popular song when they were in college, 10 years prior to the release of the song.Īnother Reddit user commented: “My head teacher at primary school (I’m British) was called Mrs Jackson. My memories of the song were clear – my group of friends in college even had a joke about saying, “Forever, ever?” when someone mentioned the word “forever,” and sometimes would sing the falsetto “I am for real…” when trying to convey sincerity. “One of the girls working there said she didn’t think it was a remake, but,who knows? I tried looking it up on the internet in my office, but, I could only find the Outkast version online. I remarked that I was surprised that the song would be remade so soon, as it was popular when I was in college back in 1992-1994. When I walked in, the music video by Outkast was playing on the TV. One Reddit user recalled, “I was working mid shift at a communications facility, and needed to take some paperwork to another office. This song has been a subject of debate and confusion in a number of online platforms, one reason being that people remember it being around in the ’90s, despite the fact it wasn’t released until 2000. ‘Ms Jackson’ by Outkast – the ’90s hit from the ’00s We’ve compiled six that have got people talking. But some of the weirdest Mandela Effects occur in music lyrics and history.
