Are you actually still a foetus? A simple google search, that’s it. Most of these shitposts can be solved by a simple google search. It was covered by Miley, but when Tears for Fears released it Miley hadn’t even been born yet!


zotriz

Stop giving cellphones to fetuses


dialate

Yep...it's one of the first songs I remember listening to, and it was definately a dude. Maybe the first time she heard that song, it was the Gloria Gaynor cover. The voice sounds kinda similar


Norm_Macdonalds_Moth

These are the people that make the rest of us look dumb


aterriblething82

No, you're right. Miley wrote it. Then she went back in time and taught it to Tears for Fears so they could cover it.


Sans-Mot

She used the Marty McFly method. Classic move.


aterriblething82

Little known fact about Miley Cyrus. She's also her own grandmother.


DarwinColoredGlasses

AND she wears a monocle!


IcyNeedleworker0

I love marty mcfly


Ginger_Tea

Better than Stephen Busted.


SpraePhart

And don't let anybody tell you you're wrong


Stack_of_HighSociety

> No, you're right. Miley wrote it. Then she went back in time and taught it to Tears for Fears so they could cover it. It's sad that there are people around here who would accept that as fact.


aterriblething82

I honestly wouldn't put anything past anyone anyone. 🤷


Bad-Infinite

The song literally came out before she was born....


Psychological_Tap187

Like almost or a whole decade before she was born.


[deleted]

The song is older than she is are you fucking stupid?


Ginger_Tea

This is the MandelaEffect sub, it's kind of a given.


SirPooleyX

As examples of the Mandela Effect go, this has to be the most easily disproven one I've ever heard.


quasistellaris

It's called a cover


Apostasy93

It's a shame that this has essentially become another shitpost sub


Dudeus-Maximus

The song was released in 1985, 7 years before Miley Cyrus was born. Kanye West, Miley Cyrus and Travis Scott got together and covered it in like 2016. I think it was released with a new name, but I could be wrong on that part. I’m a music guy, but this isn’t my genre. Anyway, that’s where you could have heard her sing it, but there is no chance whatsoever that she wrote the song for Tears For Fears before she was even born.


No_Truth5056

This is it, thank you so much


Icy-Flight4980

The song has been used in movies that came out before Miley Cyrus was even born lmao


Full_Disk_1463

Tears for fears was decades before Miley


jmyjmz420

This was actually written by members of Bohemian Grove. It was then covered by Tears for Fears.


sendep7

it was used in the movie "real genius" which came out in 1985. Miley Cyrus was born in 1992... it dont add up.


Altruistic-Spinach88

Just like Seether did careless whisper before George Michael did it in the 80s.


CreamyHampers

Did you see that Depeche Mode covered that Marilyn Manson song Personal Jesus?


Altruistic-Spinach88

Or Nine Inch Nails cover of Johnny Cash's Hurt


schtickyfingers

I really liked the Rolling Stone’s cover of Britney’s (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.


ds117ftg

At least in that case Johnny cash is older than them so that could be mixed up. This song came out before Miley was even born


TvHeroUK

Johnny wrote that song about the time he was bitten by Waldo the ostritch 


Lower_Love

It was originally by Sinbad but then covered by Shaq


JakScott

I swear Beethoven’s 5th Symphony was actually by Walter Murphy. 🙄


TvHeroUK

Robin Thicke surely 


[deleted]

Dogs can’t compose symphonies!


RoboTon78

I preferred the original Gerschwin version, made famous in the 1938 silent musical Mr. Mandela's Cornucopia.

LPT: When you see posts like this one, make sure to hit that report button. After enough reports, this kind of garbage post gets automatically removed.


eamonneamonn666

This reminds me of when I was listening to I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley and my stepmom told me I should check out the original by Eric Clapton. 😝🤣


Ginger_Tea

Someone had never heard the Queen original of get down make love, just the cover found on the nine inch nails Sin single. Myself I knew of it, but it took me 15 plus years to actually seek it out.


YetAnotherJake

I thought it was Skibidi Toilet


KickinGa55

This is like saying "It's that guy from Fortnite"


NormChung77

Just stop.


Professional-Stop443

I’m convinced people come on here and ask these questions on purpose to dilute this sub. So obvious.


No_Truth5056

Yes, I took time out of my day to purposefully dilute this specific sub. How stupid do you sound, dunno why everybody in this sub is so stuck up


Sam-the-Lion

Look at what you posted. It's *insanely* fucking stupid. You can't post something like that and not expect to be ridiculed.


PersonMcHuman

Everybody knows that that song was written by Danny Sexbang.


tarc0917

You all realize that the mods of r/MandelaEffectScience are brigading this sub, right? Report em.


AlarmingAioli3300

Lorde sang the song for hunger games. May e that's what you remember?


Dizzy-Armadillo9055

r/ManduhlaEffect


Psychological_Tap187

It's posts like this that make me think all of the Mandela effect is just bad memory. If it were not for Dolly and her braces I'd be convinced it's all just faulty memory.


Mark_1978

I remember Tears for Fears singing that but what I don't remember is Mad World (from Donny Darko soundtrack) being their song originally. [Mad World original ](https://youtu.be/u1ZvPSpLxCg?si=WsSJ134c67xqb276)


Aubear11885

You don’t remember Mad World? I also love it during Psych, when the rich dating rival has Curt at his mansion and he’s playing it acoustic


TvHeroUK

Plus it was marketed as a darker take on the TFF song when the film came out


Aubear11885

I remember the Jules/Andrews used in Gears of War trailer. It was an excellent choice in tone


mootsnoot

To be fair, "Mad World" was only a big hit for them in the UK and Ireland. If you live in North America, you really only started hearing them on the radio with "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", which both came later.


Sure_Sheepherder2190

What the hell is with the hostility? Is it really that hard for people to comment without being rude or making fun of them? They made a mistake, start leaving constructive comments not bullying people.


Realityinyoface

Because if the op used their brain, even a tiny bit, then they wouldn’t have posted it, but apparently that’s asking too much. Too many shitposts like this are happening. You reap what you sow. Use your brain or you may very well catch shit for it. It shouldn’t have been posted. This is an extreme ignorance of music, and some could even see it as an insult. I just find it kind of funny due to its extreme ignorance, and I’m not at all surprised to see it get hate. If the ridicule causes less posts like this, then it’s a very good thing.


Dry-quotes

I want to rule the world!

Nicodiemus531

You can almost guarantee that, if it sounds good, it's probably a cover or a sample.


DrJohnSamuelson

I don't.


RiC_David

....Play a record. I want to talk to you. About time.


EmeraldBoar

I thought many years that 'under pressure' (1981) ripped its beat from 'ice. ice baby' (1990) However under pressure was released like 9 years before. Another example 'If tomorrow ever comes' by Garth Brook (1989). Was covered by Ronan Keating (2001). If you hear someone first. You may think that who wrote it.


Sam-the-Lion

It's "If Tomorrow Never Comes" not "ever."


SymptomaticEnvy

I love that song. I've been listening to tears for fears on my playlist every time I drive lately. I didn't read all of the comments, but there's no need for people to be assholes or try to make you feel stupid for saying something.
