Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Maxine Nightingale

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.

Maxine Nightingale's, "Right Back Where We Started From"
The Lyrics:
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Why:
It is gramatically incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition. Therefore, you should have said "We gotta get right back to the place where we started," but then you'd have to change the title as well.
