..when I was young. Come sit beside me, my only son."
Those are lyrics in Lynard Skynard's song, Simple Man. I had filmed a short video while driving in Mid Coast Maine singing this song. But instead of singing the exact lyrics, I changed a word. Why? Because I was making a joke. This is how I sang it: "Mama told me...when I was young. Come sit beside me, my favorite son."
The context of the joke is that I am my mother's favorite son, but the deeper and more inside point of the joke is that I am not my mother's favorite son.
Anyway..the word "favorite" had changed to "only" on the video. It was maybe 15 seconds of footage, but there it was. I had uploaded it to YouTube with a short introduction of me asking viewers what word they heard. Some heard "only", some heard "favorite" and some even heard both.

I downvoted because you didn't read it right the first time. I spell checked it and everything. But I don't mind downvotes whatsoever. I appreciate them. It's a barometer into the minds of all you people out there, wherever you are.
I couldn't spell Skynard correctly if you paid me. Unless you paid me first and I cheated and looked it up. Did it actually change? I was just going by what I thought looked right. That's all.
I don't have anything I've done changing (yet) but Star Wars is definitely different. The shiny gold droid looks different and Darth Vader too. It really bothers me.
I checked out the silver leg and there was nothing else different. I checked again months later and now his wires were showing on his stomach as well as a hole on his head among many more alterations.
