No dude. The song says "this" everytime.
Also a problem with ME is if true, there are plenty of cases of something people didn't really pay attention to, getting treated like an ME.

For Mr. Rogers, I remember as a kid, The Neighborhood, but later (but still many years ago.. 5..7?), I remember hearing the "this neighborhood" wording, and remembering thinking it sounded weird, and that I had gotten it wrong all along. I shrugged it off as just mishearing the lyrics. I think our brains would expect "the" vs. "this," and perhaps that is true.. and people always just assumed it was the word the instead.
But then I remember stuff like Caldwell Bankers (vs. Coldwell), and think.. yea, something weird is going on. : )
The brain just stops and can only come up with one solution,

I think that is a very astute assessment. I’ve noticed that it does tend to be an “all or nothing” thing.
Now I’m going to put my imaginative tin foil hat on... I want to throw out that disclaimer that what I’m about to offer is a purely and highly speculative idea so I don’t send the non-effected into a tailspin...
But sometimes I like to just let my mind drift to every possible (even if not remotely probable) scenario and this is one...
Perhaps the brain is “AI” to an extent in that it’s capable of something we don’t understand such as shifting its conscious awareness to another timeline (relying or falling back on the multiverse theory) so that if something happens your consciousness could literally “quantum leap.” So what if something so BAF happened - some kind of mass casualty - that it caused those who feel “effected” to jump from where they were to “here” — where everything is just slightly different. Kind of like in the show Sliders. In fact, in that show, some of the universes they end up in are so similar to their own that they think they are “back” until they’ll encounter someone alive who was dead in their original timeline or vice versa. Or they’ll hear a song with different lyrics. It (the show Sliders) really is very similar to the whole ME thing, come to think about it.

God dammit, another ME thread. Are people so egotistical and narcissistic to believe their memories are flawed instead of having to believe in multiverses or dimensions comingling? Get over yourselves people. You remember it wrong it was always in THIS neighborhood.

How about this lyric change, or is it?
The Eagles - Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
______ smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Hmmmm??
I've tried this on 5 friends and 4 of the 5 all said the same darn word (which isn't there) the other guy got what the lyric is in this reality.
Maybe he's the sane one, and the other 4 came up with the same lyric by coincidence

If you can still find it, then this is not a true ME phenomenon. If it were, you could research back as far as possible, and you would not find it. All you might find are some people writing or speaking about the way it 'should' be.
