_Laurie_ Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 But then again, At one time I use to think "My Sharona" was the greatest rock song ever written.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I've been doing that for decades with Meatloaf's Two Out of Three Ain't Bad. That's some deep mess, yo.
Viaene Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 at those moments, Linkin Park's 'in the end' is deep too man, I experienced it.
Shawna Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 oddly, when I'm that Timmed, it's all I can do to keep from hurling if I try to lay down. So typically I have to sit up until that subsides, and then I'm so grateful it has subsided that and Osmond tune would suffice to be deep enough for me.
Foolonthehill Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I was just wondering if I was right in thinking that this lyric from "Touch Me" was grammatically incorrect. "I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I." Shouldn't if be "For you and me"?
Foolonthehill Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 yeah, I know that the rhyme wouldn't work that way it's just been annoying me for a while
Farin Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 that's no excuse... they could have simply put more thought into it, to find a line that does rhyme. "I'm gonna love you Till the apples fall from the tree For you and me." ... or something like that
Foolonthehill Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, I just hope they did it for the sake of rhyming and weren't just following the assertions of inept yet grammar-zealous Grade two teachers. I know I had a few teachers like that- insisting that "I" is correct in virtually all situations, regardless of whether it's the subject or object.
Shawna Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Fool... you might be interested in the interview I did with Billy Montana, who is a hugely successful writer in Nashville (see Songwriter Interviews on the Main Page). The section I'm referring to is where he told me about his song "Suds In The Bucket," and how they took liberal use of the English (American?) language for poetic justice. Billy: We say, “little pony-tail girl growed up to be a woman.†Bob Dylan put in a song, I think it’s a line that goes, “something I never knowed.†Because he was rhyming it with “road.†And so I was like, well, man, it can be done. This was kind of funny because my daughter pointed out to us one time, we were listening to a Neil Diamond song, and it’s the one about “song she brang to me,†he says “B-R-A-N-G, brang,†to rhyme with sang, and rang. And so my daughter was like, “That’s not a word, ‘brang.’†And I’m like, Oh my gosh, I never noticed that. So Jenai and I, we were writing, we’re like, man, that’s cool. ****************** Plus, my favorite guy, Roger Clyne, did a song a few years back called "Switchblade," and he does the same sort of thing. He sings, "Yeah, dumb and drunk as we was, you know we'd do it all again, before we buried a switchblade with each of my friends." So it's more phonetically pleasing to say "was" as opposed to the grammatically correct "were," and is considered poetic justice, I suppose. Edited January 6, 2009 by Guest fix a typo
bazooka Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 "I'm gonna love you Till the apples fall from the tree For you and me." ... or something like that We can hope stars falling out of the sky will take a little longer than apples off the tree. Wouldn't that mean "I'm gonna love you like one year max."
Levis Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 zooks is right! (hohumwhatelseisnew :sleepy:)
Carl Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Then we'll have to get on Paul Simon's case about Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard.

Yeah, it sort of seems to fit in a little better in those cases though. It's part of the slang they were using, so it doesn't seem weird. The error in the Doors song just seems lazy, and it really doesn't fit in with the Doors' style. Edited January 7, 2009 by Guest

The Seeker Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Funny, I don't listen to music when I'm drunk. I usually don't even notice if music is playing or not.
Viaene Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 Turn it harder, you'll hear it and find it awesome
Foolonthehill Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Beatles + Betrunkeness (Thanks Peaches for the vocab word) = Best thing ever For some reason, I always end up singing Beatles songs at the top of my lungs when I get drunk. Usually it's "Any Time At All".
