Entries in Grammatically Correct Rock Songs
The game is Grammatically Correct Rock Songs.
My entry: "I stiiiill haven't foooound, that for which I'm loookiiiing."
I posted this on Twitter and Facebook and got some great responses:
• "Shout shout, let it all out! These are the things without which we can do!"
• "I am failing to achieve satisfaction..."
• "There is no other woman similar to the one I have. "
and finally,...
• I like the overcorrected (wrong) "exactly whom I'm supposed to beeee..." from The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go."
"Whip it well."
There isn't a mountain too high. There isn't a valley too low, either of which could prevent me from reaching you.
Fun idea, but the English major in me can't resist pointing out that there's nothing grammatically incorrect about "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" (the idea that sentences can't end in prepositions is myth).
Forgot to add some actual corrections:
Bo Diddley got it wrong initially, but many have copied him: "Whom do you love?"
Eric Clapton should be saying "Lie down Sally." Unless he actually was telling someone else to put her down somewhere.
For Wings, "in this ever-changing world in which we live" or "in this ever-changing world that we live in" would work. But certainly not "in this ever-changing world in which we live in."
And would it be considered an issue of grammar that not one thing in Alanis Morisette's "Ironic" is actually ironic? I guess that would probably be more semantics than grammar.
I'm going to love until the heavens stop the rain. I'm going to love you until the stars fall from the sky for you and me.
I'm driving along the highway in my loaded truck and simultaneously thinking about seven different women, four of whom are possessive, two that are insincere and one who claims to be a friend.
"Our house... centrally located within our block..." (Madness, to be certain)
Whip it well!
@SJ: "(the idea that sentences can't end in prepositions is myth)"
Or as Winston Churchill said, "That is something up with which I will not put!"
