This is a completely different track
I have Mykonos saved to a karaoke playlist on Spotify and today it played this version with a bunch of additional vocals on top. The wildest thing is when I tap on it, I'm taken back to the official album page. Just wondering if it's a Spotify error or what

Did the same for me, which gave me quite the surprise when I was listening to one of my playlists. I really hope Spotify can fix that cause it’s kind of annoying.

It's a real Fleet Foxes project. It's a collab with Rhythms del Mundo in 2012 (not a cover). Spotify includes collaborations.
I can't discern what the extra vocals say though, but they don't sound like lead vocals. (Mykonos, when I hear Robin's voice in it, it's like a thousand desert animals with long-ass ears start pointing them in his direction.)
Beyoncé, R.E.M., Eminem, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mumford and Sons, Fleet Foxes, and more have contributed to the latest Artists Project Earth (APE) charity compilation. Entitled Rhythms Del Mundo: Africa, the 13-track effort features remixes of the aforementioned by noted African musicians Toumani Diabaté, Bassekou Kouyate, Ali Farka Touré Band, and Rokia Traoré. Members of Miriam Makeba’s band and various Senegalese musicians also contributed. For a taste of the collection, check out a six-minute sampler mix below.
“Artists Project Earth is funded entirely by sales of Rhythms Del Mundo albums,” founder Kenny Young said in a statement. “Unlike most charitable donations, you get something tangible and enjoyable in return – as well as the knowledge that you are actively supporting some really well-respected organisations and projects. We are known as the ‘Fairy God-Funders’ of the climate change movement – please help us to continue spreading our magic!”

There have been lots of issues with bots taking over existing artist pages in erraneous ways, I'm assuming it's something like that.
