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.

Naz remembers.

Now that you mentioned it, it does bother me, but it might have been on purpose.

BMW stands for Benelli (?) Motor Werk(s), so essentially it's:

(Location) -space- (Factory Type)

At least that's my assumption for it, because otherwise, it being Nazi Germany, if that was a typographical error, the person stamping those would probably be shot

I'm the subscription thinker. Apparently only people with Quora+ can see my posts. I mainly boost people's confidence.

I'm some sort of uh, *con-*man. 😎
