On Eggcorns

They are substitutions of a new word/phrase for another that sounds similar, generally introducing a new meaning.

"You've got another think coming" is the original phrase which refers to a desire to change an individual's thought process.

"You've got another thing coming" is the title of a popular 1982 song by the British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It is the version most people use nowadays.
