Hearing a song that you’ve downloaded playing on the radio, surprised it didn’t skip in that one spot
There was a pirated copy of “We are the Champions” by Queen circulating LimeWire and Kazaa circa 2003 that’s given a generation of people mental whiplash.
Some hooligan thought it would be funny to splice/cut/edit “of the world” at the end of the song, so it concludes with “We are the champions” (jump cut / obvious splice) “of the wooooorld.”
There’s entire threads out there dedicated to finding that copy of the song because millions of people have heard it, but no one makes the connection between the hostile actors modifying those songs and sharing them on file-sharing applications versus the originals.
There were also numerous garage band covers circulating around also - “Smells like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana was a popular one to hear in extremely low quality with someone banging spoons or something.

I accidentally downloaded a version of Du Hast back in the day that had a whole bunch of StarCraft unit quotes mixed into it that my dad fell in love with, despite never playing StarCraft. He literally likes it better than the real version lol.
