I often wonder what would happen to popular music if grammar were enforced strictly.
Rock, Country would become unsingable. Rap/hip hop would be even less unsingable.
Case in point:
“I can’t get no satisfaction
I can’t get no satisfaction
‘Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can’t get no, I can’t get no”
Would become
“I am unable to receive....satisfaction”, etc
Then of course Johnny Paychecks tune would become much less memorable.
From
“Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
My woman done left and took all the reason
I was working for”
To
“Excuse me, sir, I believe I am going to avail myself of alternative opportunities in this world of commerce. I am recently out of a relationship, so I have additional lifestyle flexibility than I possessed previously”
And there goes a classic tune.....
