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.

Mardy, yes I read that pathetic excuse, too. For it to work it means he drops the "g" at the end of the line. And anyone who sings " livin' " instead of "living" deserves to be eviscerated.

Alicia should hang her head in shame Quangle.

Wooooah!

We're living on a prayer, old chap.

Yonic, when I say 'anyone' I really mean 'anyone who is the middle aged tool called Paul McCartney'.

I hope that clears things up.

I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I (or maybe I'm) are?

Timberland. I want to hurt him. And not in the fun way Although that too.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
So there is sunshine when she's gone then? That's good. What are you moaning about?

My bugbear is The Female of the Species by Space.

"The female of the species is more deadlier than the male."

ooh, I found this

I thought poems and songs n that were exempt...sour titties the lot of yer

Best, I thought it was "more deadly"

Line, fair enough!

While I suspect that a lot of Pink's songs have grammatical errors, my friend used to get particularly upset about the line 'sometimes it be's like that' in There You Go. She would switch the radio off or scream at it everyone it came on.

Never mind Macca - I heard what I think was a Jack Johnson Christmas song the other day. He repeatedly sang about 'Reindeers'. Teeth on edge - I may have said something out loud and I was shopping at the time.

Note for Lady Gaga: "You and I could write a bad romance".

Hiddenhome If it's all about the tune, why have any words?

I don't care but would like said person to not sing at all!

I always thought Timberland sang "...handle me the way am are..."
In any case he's far too fat. Even if he is well-equipped, he probably hasn't seen it for years.

yonic I hope you are right and it's just my ears hearing it wrong. I don't want to risk listening to it again in case I get the rage.

Ok, grammar pedantry aside, I cannot find any reference to this Paul McCartney song - does anyone know what it's called? The one called 'Hope of Deliverance' doesn't seem to have those lyrics and I am finding it very hard t hoik my judgy pants without context!

The Killers, "are we human, or are we dancer" has always slightly troubled me.

Whatever about grammar it would go some way if singers understood what they were singing about. I am looking at Alanis and her lack of knowledge about irony.

Link for you DoJo. Listen at your own peril.

The offending lyric is:
"We will build bridges right up to the sky.

Heavenly lights surrounding you and me I."

Gristletoe I thought it was "dancing".

Some people like to use the word dramatical.
Fresh for '88 you suckers

ffs noone mentioned 'Valerie'. 'When I think of all the things that you do' . You FUCK

Having done that link, I've now got a Paul McCartney earworm.

The fucker.

That Killers song rips my brain apart every time I am unfortunate enough to hear it.
