The Mandela Effect does not exist in the manner you're describing, and by priming your audience to expect a specific false memory you're tainting the data from any responses you get.
People wouldn't have the Berenstain/Bernstein thing mixed up in their heads so much if the conversation about it was always phrased as "Who are the authors of that old children's picture book series with the bears?" instead of adding doubt with "Do you remember the authors as Berenstain or Bernstein?"
Berenstein dammit
Lalalalala this doesn't exist ai made this for you burn the witch
Isn't the mandala effect when we remember something that wasn't true being true?
For example, that Melson Mandela died in prison.
Based on what you've described, it doesn't sound like the Mandela effect at all but rather, you were grooving to an edited version of it.
The Mandela effect isn't just about something you remember incorrectly but about something a lot of people remember the same way.
Ahh right right. Doesn't it also need to be something incorrect too? Like a bunch of people remember x thing incorrectly.
Yes, of course.
Alright cool, glad I wasn't incorrectly remembering the definition. Thanks Björn
The human brain is a fickle thing. Most people experience optical illusions in the same way as each other. There's just certain patterns that tend to trick our brains. The same problems occur with memories. Certain patterns of memories are misremembered in similar ways between different people. Nothing as mysterious as some people think.
Wow I think I just got Mandela effected again. I'm pretty sure the guys name was Nelson but it must have been Melson this whole time.
Lol no that's me making typos because tired
I know. I'm just teasing
No I'm pretty sure his name was Melson
Melson Gibson
Bad Apple is supposed to be ~5:24 for the full version. It got famous for its PV (promotional video) which is only 3:49. This is the version which made it popular, and likely what you watched.
Subsequent fans have edited the PV by slowing it down in certain sections so to set it to the full version of the song.

The Mandela effect is likely caused by people mis-rembering things or just generally being mistaken about their memory. Even the most common Berenstain/Bernstein example comes from simple confusion. Best article i could find with pictures. https://www.cracked.com/article_34881_sorry-but-there-is-no-berenstain-bears-parallel-universe.html You were probably so into the song the first time you heard it it was over before you realized it.
Actually going to answer your question here instead if bickering about terminology. Maybe the original song was shorter, and it was extended to match the video and include all the characters? Maybe someone uploaded a "nightcore version" and that's what you remember?
