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.

And it's a real dirge of a song.

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

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.

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

I can't get any satisfaction.

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

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

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

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

Why thank you spiders.

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

Isn't that what they call artistic license?

We don't need any education.

Although to be fair I always thought that was ironic.

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.

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.

I didn't say it wasn't lighthearted

Sorry hidden. Misread the tone.

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.

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.

What new heights of MN froth is this

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

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

Do I know you Xmas?

I have a big issue with Alicia Keys and her

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of "

Actually criminal.

All about the tune? Nooooooo!

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