Ah, the things I pick up from trending topics on Twitter. Today, my dear readers, is National Grammar Day. That's right, today is the day to pay tribute to all the wonderful facets that help us fully express ourselves through written and spoken word. I think I shall have some fun with this by picking on some of the grammatically incorrect lyrics that bombard our ear drums on a daily basis. Ok, they bombard my ear drums on a daily basis. This will further serve as proof that I listen to the most awful music on the planet, but it will also serve as proof that you don't need to be educated to be famous.
New Kids on the Block, please step forward.
Oh, boys, I love you so. Your lyrics however, leave much to be desired, grammatically speaking. You came back with your hit song Summertime, only to prove that you are as uneducated as you were when you wrote Dirty Dawgs.
Problem lyric: "As long as we was together."
Problem: Incorrect verb tense.
Solution: Smack to the face. Donnie Wahlberg, you're almost 40. You know better than this.
*Honorable mention goes to the title Sexify My Love. Sexify is not a word.
Next up: Everyone's favorite teen, Justin Bieber.
Young man, you are not helping the youth of America.
Problem lyric: "Shorty was an eenie meenie miney mo lover."
Solution: Any sort of an education. Had young Mr. Bieber had a childhood instead of singing in front of his mother's video camera, he might know that eenie meenie miney mo is a game, thus it is a noun, not an adjective. **
Finally: Ke$ha
Her music is great to work out to and yet her lyrics kill you a little every time you listen to them.
Problem lyric: The entire song Tik Tok.
Solution: I can't think of one, except maybe prayer.
Honorable mention goes to the spelling/pronounciation of her name.
I want to suggest buying these people promotional pens but I sincerely wonder if they'd have any idea how to use them.
