Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.
Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.
Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.
Check out the index.
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.'s, "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)"
The Lyrics:
Now I don't need no superstar
'Cause I'll accept you as you are
'Cause I'll accept you as you are
Why:
Double negative. It should be "I don't need A superstar." If you say you don't need NO superstar, obviously you DO need a superstar.
