To think pop songs should be grammatical? I'm looking at you Paul McCartney...

[MardyBra]

... with your "just you and I" used as the object of a sentence. Seriously, it makes you sound like an Apprentice candidate.

[MardyBra]

And it's a real dirge of a song.

[PortofinoVino]

And how do you propose to make Rap 'grammatical', pray tell us?

[MardyBra]

And then there's that old Pet Shop Boys song which repeats "If I was you" over and over. I used to turn the radio off.

[MardyBra]

Maybe we could have a go at rewriting some rap songs porto. Could be interesting.

[MardyBra]

I can't get any satisfaction.

[MardyBra]

There isn't any sunshine when she's gone.

[MardyBra]

I'm talking to myself, aren't I?

[Hatespiders]

I'm just laughing at your name, Mardy. And also at your suggestions. LOL

[hiddenhome]

Nobody really cares what the words are. It's all about the tune isn't it?

[MardyBra]

Why thank you spiders.

Oh dear hidden. Should I have put a lighthearted disclaimer in the thread title? over my dead body

[MardyBra]

We don't need any education.

Although to be fair I always thought that was ironic.

[steff13]

Isn't that what they call artistic license?

[LineRunner]

I thought this was going to be about the great Live And Let Die dodgy lyric controversy.

'In this ever changing world in which we live in'. The man's a thumby-uppy gurning tool.

[MardyBra]

Oh yes, the man has form Liney. It all started with "She loves you, yes, yes, yes".

Although I think someone told me once that it's "this every changing world in which we're living".

It's the new song I'm talking about - something about Hope for the Future.

[hiddenhome]

I didn't say it wasn't lighthearted

[MardyBra]

Sorry hidden. Misread the tone.

[MardyBra]

Ha ha. Have just googled "Live and Let Die" and wiki page states that Macca can't remember what he wrote. I bet he got it wrong and won't admit it.

[MardyBra]

I do like a bit of Swedish Abba-style word-mangling though: "since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand". It sounds quite cute.

[Xmas2014MN9993]

What new heights of MN froth is this

[MardyBra]

I'm not happy about Adele chasing pavements though. Although that's more a question of semantics rather than grammar though.

[MardyBra]

Too many "thoughs" in that last post. Apologies.

[MardyBra]

Do I know you Xmas?

[Quangle]

I have a big issue with Alicia Keys and her

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of "

Actually criminal.

[TinklyLittleLaugh]

All about the tune? Nooooooo!

[Holdthepage]

Paul McCartney-the muse has left, time to stop.
