Thanks for that, John.
You THINK something, are mistaken, have to THINK again.
It has become corrupted and perhaps it is more acceptable in Australian English.
Here's what the Cambridge Dictionary has to say on the matter:

And here's an article by Professor of English at the University of Michigan on the subject:

Judas Priest has popularised the corrupted version of this idiom.
